We will approach the task: Given a polyphonic recording of a piece of Cretan traditional dance music, find a recording that is similar to it. For handling this task, a morphological analysis system is proposed that is adapted to the repetitive structure of this music. For this system, aspects of rhythm and melody will be considered, with the focus being characteristics of rhythm. We will describe onset detection, beat tracking and rhythmic similarity methods that are adequate for this music. For melody, state-of-the-art approaches for cover song detection and fundamental frequency estimation from polyphonic signals have been combined. A morphological analysis framework that uses both rhythm and melody is proposed. ********* Zeit: Montag, 29 Maerz 2010, 18:30 Uhr pktl.
