Sound And The City: Multi-Layer Representation And Navigation Of Audio Scenarios, Luca A. Ludovico, Davide Andrea Mauro Phd

Davide Andrea Mauro

IEEE 1599-2008 is an XML-based standard originally intended for the multi-layer representation of music information. Nevertheless, it is versatile enough to describe also information different from traditional scores written according to the Common Western Notation (CWN) rules. This paper will discuss the application of IEEE 1599-2008 to the audio description of paths and scenarios from the urban life or other landscapes. The standard we adopt allows the multilayer integration of textual, symbolical, structural, graphical, audio and video contents within a unique synchronized environment. Besides, for each kind of media, a number of digital objects is supported. As a consequence, thanks …

Puremx: Automatic Transcription Of Midi Live Music Performances Into Xml Format, Stefano Baldan, Luca A. Ludovico, Davide Andrea Mauro Phd

Davide Andrea Mauro

This paper addresses the problem of the real-time automatic transcription of a live music performance into a symbolic format based on XML. The source data are given by any music instrument or other device able to communicate with Pure Data by MIDI. Pure Data is a free, multi-platform, real-time programming environment for graphical, audio, and video processing. During a performance, music events are parsed and their parameters are evaluated thanks to rhythm and pitch detection algorithms. The final step is the creation of a well-formed XML document, validated against the new international standard known as IEEE 1599. This work will …

Algorithms For An Automatic Transcription Of Live Music Performances Into Symbolic Format, Stefano Baldan, Luca A. Ludovico, Davide Andrea Mauro

Davide Andrea Mauro

This paper addresses the problem of the real-time automatic transcription of a live music performance into a symbolic format. The source data are given by any music instrument or other device able to communicate through a performance protocol. During a performance, music events are parsed and their parameters are evaluated thanks to rhythm and pitch detection algorithms. The final step is the creation of a well-formed XML document, validated against the new international standard known as IEEE 1599. This work will shortly describe both the software environment and the XML format, but the main analysis will involve the real-time recognition …

Music-Related Media-Contents Synchronization Over Theweb: The Ieee 1599 Initiative, Adriano Baratè, Goffredo Haus, Luca A. Ludovico, Stefano Baldan, Davide Andrea Mauro

Davide Andrea Mauro

IEEE 1599 is an international standard originally conceived for music, which aims at providing a comprehensive description of the media contents related to a music piece within a multi-layer and synchronized environment. A number of o_- line and stand-alone software prototypes has been realized after its standardization, occurred in 2008. Recently, thanks to some technological advances (e.g. the release of HTML5), the engine of the IEEE 1599 parser has been ported on the Web. Some non-trivial problems have been solved, e.g. the management of multiple simultaneous media streams in a client-server architecture. After providing an overview of the IEEE 1599 …
