The Musical Contour literature provides multiple algorithms for melodic contour similarity. However, most of them are limited in use by the melody length of input data. In this paper I review these algorithms, propose two new algorithms, compare them …
The Theory of Musical Contours was initially developed by Robert Morris, Elizabeth Marvin and Michael Friedmann as a support for the study of musical contours. Since the 1980s, dozens of authors have used it as a basis for their studies. In Brazil, …
O presente artigo tem como propósito explorar as possíveis relações e aplicações composicionais entre fala e teoria dos contornos no universo da música acusmática. Para tanto, etapas de escolha e análise de material falado sob o prisma da teoria dos …
In this paper, we present some problems of two Music Contour Relations Theory operations algorithms: the Refinement of Contour Reduction Algorithm, which was developed by Rob Schultz, and the Equivalence Contour Class Prime Form algorithm, which was …
