Analyzing the Sequential Structure of Music Audio
This project aims at extending the understanding and usefulness of music data, through the research, development and application of computational approaches and tools. It advances an innovative and interdisciplinary program of research and education activities aimed at identifying the structures that define within- and between-song relationships in western tonal music; their applications to retrieval, visualization, music analysis and creation; and the dissemination of the knowledge base that makes these developments possible.
