Re: research on bad quality singing

[Jean-Julien Aucouturier <jj@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

There has been some research about "bad" singing in the Music
Information Retrieval community, which is interested in applications
such as "query by humming"
(the user sings a melody to the computer, and the computer retrieves the
corresponding song from a database.).
Nothing cognitive there, though, rather pragmatic computational
solutions. However, there may be some pointers to user studies, etc.

See for instance

Meek, C. and Birmingham, W., Johnny Can't Sing: A Comprehensive Error
Model for Sung Music Queries, in Proc. 3rd International Conference on
Music Information Retrieval (ISMIR2002), Paris, France.
Available : http://ismir2002.ismir.net/proceedings/02-FP04-4.pdf

Pollastri, E. "A Pitch tracking system Dedicated to Process Singing
Voice for Music retrieval", in Proc. IEEE Int. Conf on Multimedia and
Expo (ICME) 2002 , Lausanne, Switzerland.

Hope this helps,
JJ

Hello,

I am doing some research on bad quality singing. I would like to know if
someone is aware of any reference to an updated model of voice production
from the cognitive aspect (or other).

Thanks
