Computational Analysis of Musical Influence: A Musicological Case Study Using MIR Tools
presentation
posted on 2023-06-08, 08:15 authored by Nick CollinsAre there new insights through computational methods to the thorny problem of plotting the flow of musical influence? This project, motivated by a musicological study of early synth pop, applies MIR tools as an aid to the investigator. Web scraping and web services provide one angle, sourcing data from allmusic.com, and utilising python APIs for last.fm, EchoNest, and MusicBrainz. Charts of influence are constructed in GraphViz combining artist similarity and dates. Content based music similarity is the second approach, based around a core collection of synth pop albums. The prospect for new musical analyses are discussed with respect to these techniques.
