- Volkmar Klien, Thomas Grill, Arthur Flexer
- This paper presents an inquiry concerning the feasibility
of using existing methods from the field of Music Information Retrieval (MIR) for automated annotation
of acousmatic music. Thorough discussion
and appraisal of the meaning and role of annotation in this
context leads to the conclusion that: (i) full automation is not possible
due to the lack of a "ground truth" and the absence of
semantic comprehension on the side of the computer, (ii)
MIR can nevertheless play a valuable role by
providing human annotators with tools for interactive annotation.
We present two possible approaches to interactive
annotation applied to compositions of acousmatic music,
namely John Chowning's Turenas and Denis Smalley's
Wind Chimes. We also discuss the possible impact of such
semi-automatic annotation on the theoretical coverage and
practice of acousmatic music.
