An Idiom-independent Representation of Chords for Computational Music Analysis and Generation. Cambouropoulos, E., Kaliakatsos-Papakostas, M., & Tsougras, C. In Proc. Joint 40th International Computer Music Conference (ICMC) and 11th Sound and Music Computing (SMC) Conference (ICMC- SMC2014), pages 1002–1009, Athens, Greece, 2014.
Paper doi abstract bibtex In this paper we focus on issues of harmonic representa- tion and computational analysis. A new idiom- independent representation is proposed of chord types that is appropriate for encoding tone simultaneities in any harmonic context (such as tonal, modal, jazz, octatonic, atonal). The General Chord Type (GCT) representation, allows the re-arrangement of the notes of a harmonic simultaneity such that abstract idiom-specific types of chords may be derived; this encoding is inspired by the standard roman numeral chord type labeling, but is more general and flexible. Given a consonance-dissonance classification of intervals (that reflects culturally- dependent notions of consonance/dissonance), and a scale, the GCT algorithm finds the maximal subset of notes of a given note simultaneity that contains only con- sonant intervals; this maximal subset forms the base upon which the chord type is built. The proposed representa- tion is ideal for hierarchic harmonic systems such as the tonal system and its many variations, but adjusts to any other harmonic system such as post-tonal, atonal music, or traditional polyphonic systems. The GCT representa- tion is applied to a small set of examples from diverse musical idioms, and its output is illustrated and analysed showing its potential, especially, for computational music analysis & music information retrieval.
