            MUSIC SCENE DESCRIPTION AND ITS APPLICATIONS

  Our research project "music scene description" aims to achieve
  an understanding of musical audio signals at the level of
  untrained listeners. This contrasts with most studies in the
  past that aimed to achieve it at the level of trained musicians
  by identifying all musical notes forming a musical score or
  obtaining segregated signals from sound mixtures. Music scene
  description features the description of "scenes" that occur
  within a musical performance such as hierarchical beat structure,
  melody line, bass line, repeated sections, and chorus sections.
  In this talk, I introduce our real-time methods for obtaining
  descriptions of such scenes.  Several applications we developed
  by using those methods are also described, including a beat-driven
  computer graphics dancer "Cindy" and a music listening station
  with chorus-search function "SmartMusicKIOSK".
