"The Art, Science, and Engineering of Music"

Department of Electrical Communication Engineering 
in association with
IEEE Signal Processing Society, 
Bangalore Chapter 
IEEE Bangalore Section.

    Speaker      : Mr. Ajay Srinivasamurthy

    Title        : "The Art, Science, and Engineering of Music"

    Date         : 28th August, 2012 - Tuesday*

    Time         : 4:00pm -5:30pm

    Venue        : Golden Jubilee Hall, 
                   Dept. of ECE, IISc, Bangalore

*Abstract:

      The art of music has been studied and practised for 
centuries. In the last century, the science of music developed, 
with musicologists studying music systematically using
a scientific approach. 
 
Engineering of music is now emerging - 
Music Technology is the new multidisciplinary field, 
which uses the tools available to engineers to develop specific 
tools for understanding, analysis, and synthesis of music.  
This talk addresses such an engineering 
approach to music analysis. Music Information Research (MIR) draws 
from several fields such as signal processing, machine learning, 
computer science, 
psychology, and musicology

This talk will discuss a few MIR applications with 
which I have been closely associated with.  
In specific, Multiple Viewpoint 
Modeling and Rhythm Modeling in the context of 
Indian classical music 
will be discussed in detail
Multiple viewpoint models can be used for melody 
continuation. Rhythm models aim to extract useful rhythm 
related information such as the pulse, beat, and phrases 
from music. Using the new set of MIR tools, we can develop several 
new and interesting applications which aim to create a novel 
experience with music for both musicians and the audience. These 
applications bring music making to the common man and puts it 
in a social context, 
enhancing our collective experience with music.
