Fundamentals of Music Processing (eBook, PDF)

Using Python and Jupyter Notebooks

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The textbook provides both profound technological knowledge and a comprehensive treatment of essential topics in music processing and music information retrieval (MIR). Including numerous examples, figures, and exercises, this book is suited for students, lecturers, and researchers working in audio engineering, signal processing, computer science, digital humanities, and musicology.

The book consists of eight chapters. The first two cover foundations of music representations and the Fourier transform-concepts used throughout the book. Each of the subsequent chapters starts with a general description of a concrete music processing task and then discusses-in a mathematically rigorous way-essential techniques and algorithms applicable to a wide range of analysis, classification, and retrieval problems. By mixing theory and practice, the book's goal is to offer detailed technological insights and a deep understanding of music processing applications.

As a substantial extension, the textbook's second edition introduces the FMP (fundamentals of music processing) notebooks, which provide additional audio-visual material and Python code examples that implement all computational approaches step by step. Using Jupyter notebooks and open-source web applications, the FMP notebooks yield an interactive framework that allows students to experiment with their music examples, explore the effect of parameter settings, and understand the computed results by suitable visualizations and sonifications. The FMP notebooks are available from the author's institutional web page at the International Audio Laboratories Erlangen.

Rezensionen

"The book ... covers a range of important and popular music processing topics, and strikes a balance between providing succinct and informative background theory and discussing applied examples in the context of real-world problem-solving. ... Müller introduces the reader to analysis and processing techniques, algorithms and key underpinning theoretical concepts within the context of applied music analysis and processing tasks. ... this is a very impressive book, and an excellent course in music processing." (Don Knox, Musicae Scientiae, Vol. 60 (2), June, 2016)

"If you are looking for a sound textbook in music analysis and music information retrieval, I would recommend this one. ... The book may be used as a textbook at the postgraduate or advanced undergraduate levels in computational music science. It is also suitable for musicologists and researchers in music. Those with engineering backgrounds will find it easier to grasp. I enjoyed reading this book." (Soubhik Chakraborty, Computing Reviews, March, 2016)
