Subject: Re: research on bad quality singing From: Jean-Julien Aucouturier <jj(at)CSL.SONY.FR> Date: Tue, 11 May 2004 10:19:12 +0200Hi, 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.

Conf on Multimedia and Expo (ICME) 2002 , Lausanne, Switzerland. - Hope this helps, JJ -- Jean-Julien Aucouturier, Assistant Researcher http://www.csl.sony.fr/~jj SONY CSL-Paris Tel: (33) 1 44 08 05 11 6, rue Amyot Fax: (33) 1 45 87 87 50 75005 Paris, France E-mail: jj(at)csl.sony.fr ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 10 May 2004 12:20:33 +0000 From: yoav frankel <yoavfr(at)HOTMAIL.COM> Subject: <No subject given> 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).
