1 Miles vs Trane a is i al aris n n l rane s an Miles avis s i r visa i nal s les Klaus Frieler Institute for Musicology University of Music Franz Liszt Weimar

2 AIM Compare Miles s and Trane s styles of improvisation using computational and statistical tools. Show-casing the Jazzomat project, the Weimar Jazz Database and the MeloSpySuite/GUI.

3 Central Aims azz a Resear Pr je 1. Devising a database of approx. 450 monophonic jazz solo transcriptions (Weimar Jazz Database, currently 299 solos). 2. Development of analysis tools (MeloSpySuite, MeloSpyGUI): Feature extraction & visualisation, Pattern search & mining, Data import & export. 3. Research Website: DFG Grant (12/2012-4/2017) Melodisch-rhythmische Gestaltung von Jazzimprovisationen. Rechnerbasierte Musikanalyse einstimmiger Jazzsoli

4 azz a Resear Pr je Research areas & applications: 1. Jazz research, jazz history, stylometrics. 2. Psychology of creative processes. 3. Computational & statistical musicology, MIR. 4. (Jazz education.) Team: Prof. Dr. Martin Pfleiderer, Dr.-Ing. Jakob Abeßer, Dr. Klaus Frieler, Wolf-Georg Zaddach, MA, Benjamin Burkhart, MA, Friederike Bartel,BA. Transcribers: Martin Breternitz, Peter Heppner, Yvette Kneisel, Benedikt Koch, Simon Meininger, Benjamin Napravnik, Albert Probst, Franziska Risch, Lydia Schulz, Amelie Zimmermann, Alaa Zouiten.

5 Wei ar azz a abase Performance-based transcriptions with annotations. Basic model: Event lists of onset, pitch, duration, & annotation e n = (t n, p n, d n, a n ). Annotations a n : Metadata (manual) Harmonic context (manual) Beats (manual) Metrical context (semi-automatic) Phrases (manual) Midlevel-units (manual) Frequency modulations (manual) Intensities (automatic)

6 Wei ar azz a abase 299 solo transcriptions 47 performers tone events. 7 Styles: traditional (20), swing (52), bebop (35), cool (38), hardbop (48), postbop (101), free (5, Ornette Coleman) Top: Coltrane (13), Rollins (12), Shorter (10), Desmond (8), Davis (8).

7 Mel GUI Tools for symbolic, monophonic data melodies. Import/export/conversion (melconv) Feature extraction (melfeature) Pattern search and partition (melpat) Current Version: 1.2 Bundled with Weimar Jazz Database and a version of the Essen Folk Song Collection. MeloSpySuite: Extended options and batch processing. Free download:

8 Miles vs Trane Miles & Trane clearly some of the most influential & important figures in jazz. However, very different improvisational styles. Miles Davis: Controlled, restrained, spacious, nonvirtuoso, introverted, cool. John Coltrane: Angry, sheets of sounds, intense, spiritual, virtuoso, extraverted, hot. Can we check this with statistical evidence?

9 Miles vs Trane: Me Extract over 150 (scalar) features for each chorus. Use features from different dimensions: Rhythm Intervals Pitch Midlevel Analysis Pattern Content Significant differences with p<.001 kept (t-test). When suitable, differences cross-checked using raw distributions (Chi-square tests, Cramer s V).

12 Miles vs Trane: R Rhythms were categorised using interonset intervals (IOI) and duration classes. IOI: Time between consecutive onsets. Duration: Annotated duration. Classification based on two different references: rel: Duration of annotated beat. abs: Duration of standard beat, 500 ms (120 bpm). Five classes: Very Short, Short, Medium, Long, Very Long (~ semi-quaver, quaver, beat, minim, semibreve)

13 Miles vs Trane: R p = Cramer s V = Abs. IOI classes

14 Miles vs Trane: Pi Pitch was measured in raw MIDI pitch, pitch class and extended chordal diatonic pitch class. MIDI pitch: Numbers from 0-127, middle C = 60 Extended chordal diatonic pitch class: Dependent on chordal context 1-7: Diatonic scale (minor or major) Specials, e.g. B = minor third over major chord, T= #11, L = maj 7 over chord with minor 7th

15 Miles vs Trane: Pi R 2 = 0.14 d= Pitch range (semitones)

16 Miles vs Trane: Pi R 2 = 0.24 d= Rel. frequency of thirds of chord

17 Miles vs Trane: Pi p = Cramer s V= Extended Diatonic Chordal Pitch Class

18 Miles vs Trane: Pi p = 0.17 Cramer s V= 0.01 Diatonic vs. Chromatic

19 Miles vs Trane: In ervals For better comparison semi-tone intervals were classified in Parsons Code for melodic contour, and Fuzzy Intervals (refined contour). Parsons Code: Three classes. Down, Repeat, Up Fuzzy Interval: 11 classes Big jump up/down (> 7 semitones) Jump up/down (5, 6, or 7 semitones) Leap up/down (3 or 4 semitones) Step up/down (1 or 2 semitones) Repeat (0 semitones

20 Miles vs Trane: Pars ns e R 2 = 0.14 d= Frequency of descending intervals

21 Miles vs Trane: Pars ns e R 2 = 0.22 d= Frequency tone repetitions

22 Miles vs Trane: In ervals p = Cramer s V = Interval classes

23 Miles vs Trane: In ervals R 2 = 0.25 d= 1.37 Absolute interval size

24 Mi level Anal sis (MLA) Qualitative annotation with playing ideas (Frieler et al., 2016) 9 main categories of midlevel units (MLU) line, licks, melody, rhythm, expressive, theme, quote, fragment, void +16 sub- and 38 sub-subcategories Allows annotation of motivic relationship. Every phrase starts a MLU, but phrases can contain more than one MLU ( glueing ).

25 Miles vs Trane: Mi level Uni s p = Cramer s V= Main type of midlevel units

26 Miles vs Trane: Pa erns Search for interval patterns of at least 6 intervals which occur at least two times in at least two different sources. For each player separately and also combined. Calculate pattern coverage of solos.

27 Miles vs Trane: Pa erns R 2 = 0.11 p= 0.03 Coverage with interval patterns (N=6)

28 u ar Rhythm John Coltrane Mostly fast lines ( Sheets of sound ) Miles Davis Rhythmically more diverse Longer tones & pauses Intervals More descending More ascending Less tone repetitions Larger intervals More thirds & arpeggios More tone repetitions Smaller intervals Less thirds Pitch Larger pitch range Smaller pitch range Midlevel Units More lines, expressive & fragments Patterns More patterns Less patterns Avoids thirds, more blue notes More licks, melody & void No common pattern vocabulary

29 Ou l k More solos needed for a more detailed picture, e.g. development of styles, inclusion of ballads. More detailed analysis of pattern influence. Comparison of solos on the same track (e.g. So What, Oleo). Methods can be used for any combination of any soloist in the database.
