This research proposes a method to separate polyphonic music signal into signals of each musical instrument by NMF: Non-negative Matrix Factorization based on preservation of spectrum envelope.
We propose a melody generation system based on the Implication-Realization Model (IRM) of music theory. The IRM is a music theory, which was proposed by Eugene Narmour. The IRM abstracts music. It then expresses music according to symbol sequences based… (READ MORE)
Our goal is to construct an automatic musical arrangement system by applying analysis results of composers’ arrangement processes. We arranged an orchestral score for a solo pianist to evaluate our system. Usually, an orchestral score has several instrumental parts, which… (READ MORE)
We describe the technique for automatically constructing the network which indicates the relationship between bands and musicians from the Web pages. And we also present the applications of the network for the recommendation and the classification of bands. The relation… (READ MORE)
This paper describes a jam session system that enables a human player to interplay with virtual players which can imitate the player personality models of various human players. Previous systems have parameters that allow some alteration in the way virtual… (READ MORE)
Fingering Simulator optimizes guitar fingering of monophony by using physical simulator called Springhead2. Unlike most previous guitar fingering optimization systems focusing on moving distances, our method deals with the torque of the finger joints. Experimental results showed that the maximum… (READ MORE)
This paper describes the Sound Scope Headphones which enable the user to control an audio mixer through natural movements of the head and hands. This allows musical novices to interact closely with the music they listen to. Commercial audio mixers… (READ MORE)
We designed concert scope headphones that are equipped with a projector, an inclination sensor on the top of the headphones, and a distance sensor on the outside right headphone. We previously developed sound scope headphones that enable users to change… (READ MORE)
This paper describes a novel audio only interface for selecting music which enables us to select songs without having to click a mouse. Using previous music players with normal headphones, we can hear only one song at a time and… (READ MORE)
The ShakeGuitar is an interactive music system for use with iPhone / iPod touch that enables users to enjoy the simulated experience of guitar playing, even if they are musical novices. Shaking the iPhone / iPod touch with varying degrees… (READ MORE)
We built “Twitracker” that can post a monophonic melody on Twitter and can create a song by placing posted melodies as materials on Twitter. A shared unfinished song is put into the compositional process by allowing modifying. Most previous composing… (READ MORE)

We have been developing a music analysis system called a polyphonic music time-span tree analyzer (PTTA). A time-span tree assigns a hierarchy of ‘structural importance’ to the notes of a piece of music on the basis of the Generative Theory… (READ MORE)
A method that predicts the next notes is described for assisting musical novices to play improvisations. Melody prediction is one of the most difficult problems in musical information retrieval because composers and players may or may not create melodies that… (READ MORE)
ShakeGuitar (Free), based on the morphing method, is available on App Store (Released on September 26, 2009) This paper describes a melody morphing method that generates an intermediate melody between a melody and another melody with a systematic order according… (READ MORE)
σGTTM combines the generative theory of tonal music (GTTM) and statistical learning. We previously devised exGTTM, which has accommodated the original GTTM to computer implementations. The exGTTM has adjustable parameters, these parameters have to be manually configured. Therefore, it is… (READ MORE)
This paper describes an automatic grouping system, which segments the music into units such as phrases or motives, based on the Generative Theory of Tonal Music (GTTM in short, hereafter). The GTTM is considered to be one of the most… (READ MORE)
