New Markov model technique analyzes musical structure in Debussy's "Syrinx"

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a novel method for estimating transition kernels in Markov models, utilizing overlapping sliding windows to derive local kernels directly from symbolic sequences. This observation-driven approach was tested on Claude Debussy's "Syrinx," comparing its performance against an A-B-A' reading. The study found that at a window size of L=6, both absolute pitch and notated duration kernels reached their Jensen-Shannon maximum, though the duration plateau was significantly narrower than the pitch plateau. Further experiments involving re-synthesis quantified deviations from the source material. AI

    From local kernels to global form: modeling the emergence of musical content

    Markov models are established tools for symbolic music, including non-homogeneous formulations. The narrower contribution examined here is an observation-driven estimation mechanism: overlapping sliding windows derive a trajectory of local transition kernels from one symbolic seq…
