This is an open project. Please join in if you are interested!
Goals
Using modern signal processing techniques for the analysis and
synthesis
of Hindustani classical music.
There are several elements in Hindustani music which require
clarification.
These include the notions of notes , scales and classification of
ragas
(shruti, jati). We would also like to analyse musical effects
such
as meends, gamaks and taans. We consider sound synthesis as the
main
tool for providing audible proof of conclusions drawn.
Experiments
Experiement 1: Synthesis of meends
and gamaks.
Experiment 2: Analysis of tanpura
sound (old 1998 page)
2b) Analysis
of tanpura sound: Part 2 [pdf
file] (October, 2004. See paper below).

Experiment 3: Technique: Harmonic cascade of square waveform with
ADSR
envelope.
Hear the Synthesis of tanpura sound
(large 5 Meg .wav file)
Experiment 4: Musical scores and
synthesis
Experiment 5: Kansen: A raag recognition system based on HMM learning.
