Abstract

This work focuses on automatic Dastgah recognition of monophonic audio recordings of Iranian music using Markov Models. We present an automatic recognition system that models the sequence of intervals computed from quantized pitch data (estimated from audio) with Markov processes. Classification of an audio file is performed by finding the closest match between the Markov matrix of the file and the (template) matrices computed from the database for each Dastgah. Applying a leave-one-out evaluation strategy on a dataset comprised of 73 files, an accuracy of 0.986 has been observed for one of the four tested distance calculation methods.

Footnotes
1
Markov Models have been extensively used in the past for composition purposes as melodic progressions generators, see for example some Xenakis’s works like Analogique B [4].
 
2
An example of western fifth is the interval between A4 = 440 Hz and E5 = 659.25 Hz (659.25/440 = 1.498 \(\cong \root 12 \of {2^{7}}\).
 
4
Using 98 Markov States each bin width is equal to \(\frac{1}{98}+1\) = 1.0102 which is smaller then the western music semitone \(\root 12 \of {2}\) = 1.0595.
