SynthesisGeneration
Melody ˈmɛlədi
noun a sequence of single notes that is musically satisfying; a tune.
Carnatic Music

Carnatic Music
South Indian classical music Ragas, Gamakams
Vocal Tradition Rich in compositions

Fuzzy searchFor indic languages
Needs to be fast Primary stitching mechanism Helps with multi-source data
A quick recapPlay the scale of a raga
Fuzzy find a raga Play a phrase
Play a phrase in the context of a raga Play some prescriptive notation

..that doesn’t sound like Carnatic music, does it?

Tonic note identification

Bellur, A., and H. A. Murthy (2013) Automatic tonic identification in classical music using melodic characteristics and tuning of the drone.
Srihari, S. (2016) * Pick the most frequent note, it mostly just works.

Generation with weighted probabilities
In comparison with random
Random
Single Swaram
Weighted
Melody insights #1Tonic note is prominent
Sa, and Pa have higher and sharper peaks Other note peaks are blunt
Probabilities of all swarams in a raga are not the same Probabilities across octaves are not the same
Two swaram probabilities
Two swaram probabilities
Prominence of adjacency Encoded rules of Arohanam and Avarohanam
Two swaram probabilities
Single swaram vs Two swarams
Two Swaram
Weighted
Single Swaram
Weighted
Melody insights #2Swarams close to each other are more melodious The rules of Arohanam, Avarohanam are encoded
We begin to see gamakams Sometimes, the in-between is worse than either extreme
Three swaram probabilities and more
