This class will be taught in English.

Prerequisites

The course will start with brief introductions to Musicology and Signal Processing. Prior knowledge in these areas may be helpful but is not a requirement.

Course Outline

This course is an introduction to the automatic analysis of music via computer algorithms. Main topics covered will include

Onset Detection
Beat and Tempo Tracking
Pitch Tracking
Chords and Tonality Detection
Audio Fingerprinting
Some more complex systems (Music Similarity, Score Following, ...)

Exercise Track

During this course students will have to implement 2 prototypical music analysis systems: an Onset Detector and, based on the Onset Detector, a Beat Tracker (in JAVA).

Lecture Notes

Presentation Slides will be made available via KUSSS.
