S. Liem A1 - Hanjalic, Alan AB - Score synchronization with an audio-visual recording of a symphonic music performance is usually done by solving an audio-to-MIDI alignment problem. In this paper we investigate what role visual channel can have in this process. In particular, we focus on the possibility to represent both the score and the performance by the information about what instrument is active at a given time stamp. More specifically, we investigate to what extent instrument-level 'play' (P) and 'non-play' (NP) labels are informative in the synchronization process. After introducing the P/NP-based representation of the music piece, both at the score and performance level, we define an efficient way of computing the distance between the two representations, which serves as input for the synchronization step based on dynamic time warping. In parallel with assessing the effectiveness of the proposed representation, we also study its robustness when missing and/or erroneous labels occur. Our experimental results show that P/NP-based music piece representation is informative for performance-to-score synchronization and may benefit the existing audio-only approaches.

The FP7 PHENICX project focuses on creating a new digital classical concert experience, improving the accessibility of classical music concert performances by enhancing and enriching them in novel digital ways, In this paper, we present the project’s foreseen use cases. Subsequently, we summarize initial use case feedback from two different user groups. Despite the early stage of the project, the feedback already gives important insight into real-world considerations to make for interactive music content consumption solutions.

In this work, we focus on visual information conveyed by performing musicians. While musicians are playing, their movement relates to their musical performance. As such, analysis of this information can support structural characterization and timeline indexing of a recorded performance, especially in cases when such analyses are not trivially computed from the musical audio. We propose an unsupervised visual analysis method, in which visual novelty is inferred from motion orientation histograms of regions of interest. Considering our method in a case study on audiovisually recorded jam sessions, we show that our analysis of the visual channel yields promising and meaningful performance-related information, including information complementary to the audio channel.

Modern digital multimedia and internet technology have radically changed the ways people find entertainment and discover new interests online, seemingly without any phys- ical or social barriers. Such new access paradigms are in sharp contrast with the traditional means of entertainment. An illustrative example of this is live music concert perfor- mances that are largely being attended by dedicated audi- ences only.


This papers introduces the PHENICX project, which aims at enriching traditional concert experiences by using state- of-the-art multimedia and internet technologies. The project focuses on classical music and its main goal is twofold: (a) to make live concerts appealing to potential new au- dience and (b) to maximize the quality of concert experi- ence for everyone. Concerts will then become multimodal, multi-perspective and multilayer digital artifacts that can be easily explored, customized, personalized, (re)enjoyed and shared among the users. The paper presents the main scientific objectives on the project, provides a state of the art review on related research and presents the main chal- lenges to be addressed.
