Book Synopsis On the Complexity Analysis and Visualization of Musical Information by : António M. Lopes
Download or read book On the Complexity Analysis and Visualization of Musical Information written by António M. Lopes. This book was released on . Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper considers several distinct mathematical and computational tools, namely complexity, dimensionality-reduction, clustering, and visualization techniques, for characterizing music. Digital representations of musical works of four artists are analyzed by means of distinct indices and visualized using the multidimensional scaling technique. The results are then correlated with the artists’ musical production. The patterns found in the data demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach for assessing the complexity of musical information.
