The original edition of The Geometry of Musical Rhythm was the first book to provide a
systematic and accessible computational geometric analysis of the musical rhythms of the …

Information retrieval systems, especially those accessed over the Internet, are ubiquitous in
our globalizing world. Many are wonderfully easy to use, and it is therefore easy to assume …

This thesis is concerned with cognitively-motivated representations of musical structure.
Three problems are addressed, each related in terms of their focus on music as an object of …

In this paper, we propose four different approaches to quantify similarities of compositional
texture in symbolically encoded piano music. A melodic contour or harmonic progression …

In the first part of the paper a theoretical discussion is presented regarding the fundamental
concept of similarity and its relation to cue abstraction and categorisation. It is maintained …

SIATEC is an algorithm for discovering patterns in multidimensional datasets (Meredith et
al., 2002). This algorithm has been shown to be particularly useful for analysing musical …
