While sources of digital music are getting more abundant and music players are becoming increasingly feature-rich, we still struggle to find new music that we may like. This thesis explores the design and implementation of the MusicPlanner - a music recommendation application that utilizes a goal-oriented framework to recommend and play music. Goal-oriented programming approaches problems by modeling them using Goals, Techniques, and a Planner. The Goals are representations of a user's intent, while the Techniques are the methods that can be used to satisfy the Goals. The Planner connects the Goals and Techniques in a user-defined way to find solutions to user's requests. In the MusicPlanner, the Planner defines the top level Goal of recommending music, which can be satisfied by a set of recommendation Techniques. Each of the recommendation Techniques then declares the sub-Goal of playing music, which can be satisfied by a set of play Techniques. The Planner evaluates each of the Techniques and iterates through the results to choose the best set of Techniques to satisfy the top-level goal of music recommendation. The MusicPlanner allows the user to create personal music stations and for each station, constructs a model of user's music taste based on queries and feedback to the songs played. The extensible design of the architecture and the ease of implementing the MusicPlanner show how goal-oriented framework can simplify the work for programmers. In evaluating the performance of the MusicPlanner, we demonstrate that the Planner in the goal-oriented framework outperforms each individual recommendation Technique.

Texto completoMost people choose to listen to music that they prefer or like such as classical, country or rock. Previous research has focused on how different characteristics of music (i.e., classical versus country) affect the brain. Yet, when listening to preferred music regardless of the type—people report they often experience personal thoughts and memories. To date, understanding how this occurs in the brain has remained elusive. Using network science methods, I evaluated differences in functional brain connectivity when individuals listened to complete songs. Here the results reveal that a circuit important for internally focused thoughts, known as the default mode network, was most connected when listening to preferred music. The results also reveal that listening to a favorite song alters the connectivity between auditory brain areas and the hippocampus, a region responsible for memory and social emotion consolidation. Given that musical preferences are uniquely individualized phenomena and that music can vary in acoustic complexity and the presence or absence of lyrics, the consistency of these results was contrary to previous neuroscientific understanding. These findings may explain why comparable emotional and mental states can be experienced by people listening to music that differs as widely as Beethoven and Eminem. The neurobiological and neurorehabilitation implications of these results are discussed.

Texto completoKulitta is a Haskell-based, modular framework for automated composition and machine learning. A central idea to Kulitta's approach is the notion of abstraction: the idea that something can be described at many different levels of detail. Music has many levels of abstraction, ranging from the sound we hear to a paper score and large-scale structural patterns. Music is also very multidimensional and prone to tractability problems. Kulitta works at many of levels of abstraction in stages as a way to mitigate these inherent complexity problems.
Abstract musical structure is generated by using a new category of grammars called probabilistic temporal graph grammars (PTGGs), which are a type of parameterized, context-free grammar that includes variable instantiation, a feature usually only found in grammars for programming languages. This abstract structure can be turned into full music through the use of constraint satisfaction algorithms and equivalence relations based on music theoretic concepts. An extension to an existing algorithm for learning PCFGs provides a way to learn production probabilities for these grammars using corpora of existing music. Kulitta's modules for these features are able to be combined in different ways to support multiple styles of music.
Kulitta's important contributions include (1) algorithms and a generalized Haskell implementation to support PTGGs, (2) additional formalization of existing musical equivalence relations along with a new equivalence relation for modeling jazz harmony, (3) an empirical evaluation strategy for measuring the performance of automated composition algorithms, and (4) the extension of a machine-learning algorithm for PCFGs to support a much broader category of grammars (inclusive of PTGGs) via the use of an oracle. Kulitta's musical performance is also promising, demonstrating both stylistic versatility and aesthetically pleasing results.

Text search has been an important feature of file sharing applications since Napster. This thesis explores a directory hierarchy for categorizing and retrieving content in peer-to-peer systems as an alternative to keyword search. This thesis discusses Melody, a music sharing system that implements a directory hierarchy. Melody is built on Chord, a distributed lookup algorithm, and DHash, a distributed hash table. We evaluate the performance consequences and usability of Melody. In addition, this thesis presents two support applications: Autocat, to support automatic categorization, and Paynet, to encourage users to pay for the songs they listen to.

Texto completoOptical Music Recognition (OMR) is a process that automatically converts the image of a music score into symbolic data. OMR can be divided into two main steps: recognition, the goal of which is to recognize “valid” music symbols, and interpretation, to understand the music meaning, such as pitch and rhythm. We focus on the interpretation problem, and more specifically, rhythm interpretation on piano scores.
In this thesis work, we propose a graph-based algorithm, which interprets rhythm by building a rhythm graph on all symbols in a system measure. Our approach represents the notes and rests in a system measure as the vertices of a graph. Then we build the graph by adding voice edges and coincidence edges between pairs of vertices. The graph is constructed under the constraint such that it leads to a meaningful rhythm interpretation. We score the graph based on music notation rules and choose the graph that has the best score. The problem is thus converted into a constrained optimization problem of finding the graph with the highest score. The rhythmic interpretation follows simply from the connected rhythm graph.
To evaluate the graph-based algorithm, we perform an experiment on a dataset specifically built to cover different types of rhythmic challenges encountered in polyphonic piano scores. We conclude that our algorithm is capable of applying measure level notation rules and finding the globally optimal interpretation, even in examples with splitting and merging voices as well as missing tuplets.

The Library Access to Music Project has created a new kind of music library at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The library is always open and available in dormitory rooms and classrooms, because it transmits music on demand over the Institute's cable television system. By using the analog cable television system, LAMP differs from existing commercial offerings in that essentially any musical recording may be added to the collection - not just recordings where "digital rights" have been obtained. Additionally, LAMP is orders of magnitude less expensive than existing commercial offerings, and it is compatible with a much wider range of receiving apparatuses. With these advantages come unfortunate limitations that spring from LAMP's technical architecture and posture under copyright law. Nonetheless, LAMP has been a moderate success since its opening in October 2004, playing an average of 580 songs per day.

This thesis describes the technical implementation of a set of interconnectable blocks designed to be used by children to explore the possibilities of digital sound manipulation. In contrast to similar modular systems, this project places an emphasis on achieving the minimum possible cost. Every aspect of the design from the circuitry to the high-level code will be covered. Two particular innovations will be described in detail: first, a new method of combining power, data, and clock signals onto a single wire, and second, a method of determining the topology of a network of devices usually connected electrically in parallel.

Texto completoThe International Federation of Library Associations developed its Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) without performing user testing to ensure that the model would meet the needs of professionals and users. Analyzing user-generated social tags in relation to FRBR entities and attributes will help determine if the layperson describes objects in a manner that conforms to the FRBR conceptual model. Number one songs from the weekly Billboard Hot 100 charts from 1958 through 2013 were randomly sampled, tags associated with the sampled songs were pulled from the last.fm Web site, and tags were analyzed to determine their relation to FRBR entities and attributes. A percentage of tags map to FRBR entities, validating those entities’ place in the model. User tags that do not map to a FRBR entities shed light on additional means for resource access and discovery, as well as potential issues to consider should the FRBR conceptual model be revised in the future.

At the Sherrill House Rehabilitation and Retirement Center in Boston, MA, music therapist Dianne Tow and her interns use a variety of therapeutic interventions to treat physical and psychological dysfunctions-though not every method has been supported by rigorous scientific research. With current technology in the fields of neuroscience and psychology, the effectiveness of most therapies is difficult to quantify. Most of the progress has been made for methodologies targeting physical limitations. The two therapies with the strongest documentation are rhythmic-auditory stimulation (RAS) gait training and melodic intonation therapy (MIT). RAS gait training is typically used to treat patients with Parkinson's disease or some kind of mobility loss caused by brain damage. Parkinson's disease attacks a person's motor system, and RAS gait training re-stimulates the motor system with music, specifically sound with rhythmic qualities. MIT is used to treat certain kinds of speech loss caused by brain damage in the left hemisphere. Speech is housed in specific organs, primarily in the left hemisphere, but music processing is dispersed throughout both halves of the brain. If the main language enter is compromised, the music neural network can be reworked through multiple therapeutic sessions to help relatively unused language centers in the right hemisphere to develop and grow the connections necessary to produce speech again. Other music therapies that target emotional and psychological dysfunctions appear to have positive effects, as observed by family members and therapists, but science is not yet satisfied. Human musicality and music's direct effects on our health remain mysterious, but the complexities that have been unraveled thus far with gait training and melodic intonation hold a positive note of hope for the future.

This thesis argues that in the process through which the music industry works to co-opt and commodify genres of music, the music is (de)politicized to appeal to a larger audience. While technological advances in digital media and the internet would seem to bring a decentralized (even democratized) structure that diverts the costly music distribution system allowing for more artists and labels to compete, the RIAA has acted to prevent these technologies from developing their greatest potential. First, I demonstrate how music is commodified and marketed towards consumers. The second part of this thesis uses hip hop as an example to demonstrate how the music industry co-opts a genre of music to sell to the largest number of consumers and in the process changes the political significance of that genre. Finally, I argue that the RIAAâ s attack on file-sharers in the name of copyright protection is a technique for the â Big Fourâ to stop competition from independent artists and labels.

Texto completoENGLISH ABSTRACT: We investigate the suitability of applying some of the probabilistic and automata theoretic ideas, that have been extremely successful in the areas of speech and natural language processing, to the area of musical style imitation. By using music written in a certain style as training data, parameters are calculated for (visible and hidden) Markov models (of mixed, higher or first order), in order to capture the musical style of the training data in terms of mathematical models. These models are then used to imitate two instrument music in the trained style.

Texto completoLe développement d'Internet et l'émergence des technologies de compression audio ont contribué à rendre des millions de titres de musique accessibles à des millions d'utilisateurs. Due à la large distribution de musique, les consommateurs ont des problèmes de téléchargement d'information, pendant que l'industrie de la musique faisait face aux défis de la promotion et de la distribution personnalisée. Les systèmes de recommandation de musique ont pour objectif de faciliter la tâche dans la recherche d'articles de musique qui peuvent intéresser l'utilisateur en générant des suggestions signicatives. La recommandation de musique est différente de celle des livres et des films; cette différence est explicable par le bas coût de chaque article, le court temps de consommation, le haut taux de réutilisation de chaque article, l'utilisation hautement contextuelle immédiat et le grand nombre d'articles possibles. La compréhension des schémas d'écoute et de consommation de la musique est importante afin de concevoir des recommandations musicales pertinentes et satisfaisantes. Ce mémoire passe en revue l'état des recherches sur la recommandation musicale et les méthodes de découverte, dans le but de dressez un historique des développements de ce domaine. Les systèmes de recommandation de musique traditionnels se divisent en deux catégories principales: le filtrage collaboratif ou filtrage fonde sur le contenu. Récemment,la communauté de chercheurs a élargit ces champs d'investigation en incluant d'autres aspects: tels que, les approches hybrides, la sensibilité au contexte, le marquage social, les réseaux de musique, la visualisation, la génération de liste de lecture et les recommandations de groupe. Pour l'évaluation des systèmes de recommandation de musique, les chercheurs et les promoteurs ont besoin de prendre en compte des propriétés, comme la précision, la couverture,la confiance, la nouveauté, la diversité et la protection de la vie privée. Méthodologiquement, ces propriétés peuvent être mesurées dans des simulations hors connexion, dont l'étude du comportement des utilisateurs, ou lors d'évaluations en ligne. Des suggestions pour de futures recherches en design et évaluation de systèmes de recommandation de musique seront abordées.

Texto completoThis thesis is a discussion and analysis of the piece I presented at Signal Flow, the graduate music festival at Mills College, on March 8th, 2018 called pls don’t(!) silence ur cellphones. This analysis will be punctuated with various theoretical asides meant to shed light on different aspects of the work and to present a clearer view of my own artistic mission. Since one of the hardest parts of doing work similar to mine is finding the right ways to do it, I hope this paper will at least serve as a resource for those with similar goals. In the spirit of open source, I want the tools and the processes to be as transparent as possible in order to encourage other artists and to expand a now relatively small community. My piece uses only the audience’s cellphones as sound sources. I use a centrally-located projected display supplemented by the cellphone displays themselves to choreograph the audience’s movements around the space. The piece aims to encourage interesting, fulfilling interactions for the audience while producing a complex sonic result through these interactions. In doing this, there arose many intersecting (and often extramusical) concerns and issues that I needed to address. This paper then serves largely to examine the failures and successes of this pursuit in the hopes of outlining future directions for the project. For this piece, audience members are invited to log onto a website on their cellphone. This website contains a brief set of instructions as well as a “start” button which, when pressed, activates a Web Audio app which produces sound. Each phone then basically becomes a mobile speaker in a large speaker array composed of the aggregate of all of the audience members’ phones. The interface on the phones is intentionally spare and minimal in order to encourage audience members to keep their focus elsewhere; it merely displays a solid block of color indicating which group the audience member belongs to at different parts of the piece and flashes white briefly when a new instruction is sent out. The main interface which all audience members react to is a projected image which acts as a sort of topographical map of the performance space. The audience is directed through a sequence of different spatial orientations which are accompanied by changes in the sonic material presented on their phones. The main goals of the piece are 1) to quickly and cheaply create an accessible “high-tech” listening experience, 2) to encourage and foster social contact (while problematizing and questioning the role of instruction and suggestion), and 3) to present various compositional ideas which are inherent to the work’s form and sonic affect.

Texto completoCatalyzed by the invention of magnetic tape recording, audio production has transformed from technical to artistic, and the roles of producer, engineer, composer, and performer have merged for many forms of music. However, while these roles have changed, the way we interact with audio production tools has not and still relies on the conventions established in the 1970s for audio engineers. Users communicate their audio concepts to these complex tools using knobs and sliders that control low-level technical parameters. Musicians currently need technical knowledge of signals in addition to their musical knowledge to make novel music. However, many experienced and casual musicians simply do not have the time or desire to acquire this technical knowledge. While simpler tools (e.g. Apple's GarageBand) exist, they are limiting and frustrating to users.
To support these audio-production novices, we must build audio-production tools with affordances for them. We must identify interactions that enable novices to communicate their audio concepts without requiring technical knowledge and develop systems that can understand these interactions.
This dissertation advances our understanding of this problem by investigating three interaction types which are inspired by how novices communicate audio concepts to other people: language, vocal imitation, and evaluation. Because learning from an individual can be time consuming for a user, much of this dissertation focuses on how we can learn general audio concepts offline using crowdsourcing rather than user-specific audio concepts. This work introduces algorithms, frameworks, and software for learning audio concepts via these interactions and investigates the strengths and weaknesses of both the algorithms and the interaction types. These contributions provide a research foundation for a new generation of audio-production tools.
This problem is not limited to audio production tools. Other media production tools—such as software for graphics, image, and video design and editing—are also controlled by low-level technical parameters which require technical knowledge and experience to use effectively. The contributions in this dissertation to learn mappings from descriptive language and feedback to low-level control parameters may also be adapted for creative production tools in these other mediums. The contributions in this dissertation can unlock the creativity trapped in everyone who has the desire to make music and other media but does not have the technical skills required for today's tools.

We present Dance2Music, a virtual reality dance experience where the music changes based on the way that the dancer moves. The user is immersed in an environment where they are free to express themselves, and the user's hand and head positions are tracked in real time. We develop a set of mappings from movement to musical responses that translates the user's movement expression to musical expression. We then evaluate the system through a series of user testing. Through the creation and evaluation of this system, we examine the connection between music and dance from a new perspective. We explore ways to map from movement to music. We further discuss the features that contribute to a natural, intuitive user experience, such as enabling the music to vary over a wide expressive range and constructing a compelling visual environment
