Experiments in Musical Intelligence 1990-2006 5/11/2010 2010 Eleanor Selfridge-Field

Data analysis phase Select a repertory (one composer, one genre) Encode several pieces Parse them into five elements of musical grammar Statements Preparations Extensions Antecedents Consequents Discover and store “signatures” (identify “earmarks”) 5/11/2010 2010 Eleanor Selfridge-Field

Signatures in the SPEAC Grammar Are relatively short (2-5 events) Are shorter than themes Are stored with approach and departure info Are described by intervallic relationships Are not described by key or mode 5/11/2010 2010 Eleanor Selfridge-Field

Listening to SPEAC EXamples Bach invention Joplin rag Mozart Violin Concerto, movement 3 Gershwin 5/11/2010 2010 Eleanor Selfridge-Field
