If you’ve had a quick peek at the FlipMu calendar, you may have noticed that we have been in Japan for the few days, where we are presenting our paper titled, “21st Century Electronica: MIR Techniques for Classification and Performance” at the 10th International Society for Music Information Retrieval Conference (ISMIR). ISMIR has been an amazingly mind-opening experience so far, filled with some incredible talks / techniques at the forefront of Music Information Retrieval.
We presented a multi-user, touch driven self-organizing map which is used to sort and browse a database of electronic music based on genre and features extracted from the audio. The map automatically “clusters” the database of music and allows users to intuitively browse the library.
Interestingly, we saw some very inspiring and related work being done by C.F. Julia and S. Jorda out of the Music Technology Group at Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona. Go here to read their paper and find out more information on their work.
More information, including video on it way! Stay tuned… for now, feel free to read the paper on our publications page, and view the photos above.
