Abstract

See full text

Systems, devices, and methods for segmenting musical compositions are described. Discrete, musically-coherent segments (such as intro, verse, chorus, bridge, solo, and the like) of a musical composition are identified. Distance measures are used to evaluate whether each bar of a musical composition is more like the bars that directly precede it or more like the bars that directly succeed it, and each respective series of musically similar bars is assigned to the same respective segment. Large changes in the distance measure(s) between adjacent bars may be used to identify boundaries between abutting musical segments. Computer systems and computer program products for implementing segmentation are also described. The results of segmentation may advantageously be applied in computer-based composition of music and musical variations, as well as in other applications involving labelling, characterizing, or otherwise processing music.
