Music Signal Processing

3 Credits.

This course covers the principles and algorithms used in the processing and analysis of music. Topics include music representation, Fourier analysis of signals including both continuous and discrete representations, signal filtering, music synchronization, dynamic time warping, music structure analysis, chord recognition, tempo and beat tracking, tempograms, content-based audio retrieval, and music decomposition. Projects and assignments will be carried out in Matlab and/or Python. Students must have familiarity with music notation, structure, and instruments.
