Feature Vectors
These songs were segmented into 5-second-intervals, of which every second segment was used for further processing, with a total of 17 frequency bands being selected. Following the Lagrange interpolations and FFT we thus end up with 5022 feature vectors representing the 5022 5-second segments of the 230 songs in a 4352-dimensional feature space. These feature vectors were further used to train a 22x22 dimensional segment SOM.
In order to obtain a more compact representation of the musical archive, we create new feature vectors for each song based on the location of their segments. This results in a 22x22, i.e. 484-dimensional feature vector for each of the 230 songs. These feature vectors are used to train the SOMeJB_10x10.html">10 x 10 SOM represented in the figure above.
Each song is now mapped onto one single position according to its musical characteristics.
Taking a look at the Classic cluster in the lower left corner of the map, we find unit (0/8) to represent the Funeral March (Chopin) as well as the Moonlight Sonata (Beethoven) and the Merry Peasant (Schuhmann).
All three pieces consist of rather calm piano music, and have their segments mapped mostly in the classic cluster on the segment map.
The neighboring unit (0/9) also represents almost solely classical music, such as Air or the Brandenburg Concerts by Bach, as well as, again, pieces by Schuhmann, Chopin and Mozart (Fremde Länder und Menschen (Schuhmann), Mazurka (Chopin), and Kleine Nachtmusik (Mozart)).
The song Ailein Duinn is a Scottish folk song and thus at first glance does not seem to fit into this cluster.
Yet, when listening to it we find it to be a ballad sung by a woman and accompanied only by violin and harp, thus making it sound-wise fit perfectly into the classic cluster, even though it would be organized into the folk cluster by strict musical genre.
On the neighboring unit (1/9) we find two pieces by Schubert, namely Ave Maria, Themen und Variationen der Forelle, as well as a piece by Mozart, i.e. the Adagio of his Clarinet Concert.
It is important to note, that the SOM does not organize the songs according to their melody, but rather according to their sound characteristics.
If we move on to unit (2/9) we find it to represent some more dynamic pieces of classic music, such as the Tritsch Tratsch Polka by Strauß or again compositions by Mozart.
We also find two vocal pieces on this unit, namely Vesti la Giubba (Domingo) and Everything I do by Bryan Adams.
Obviously, Everything I do is not a classical piece of music in the strict sense, yet in terms of its music we find it very calm and to be accompanied by an orchestra most of the time.
Even more interesting, we find unit (3/9) further to the right, and still more dynamic, to represent two pieces by John Williams, i.e. the main theme of the movies Jurassic Park and Schindler's List.
We also find mapped onto the same unit both Tchaikovsky's ``Schwanensee'' as well as Bette Midler's ``The Rose'', a very soft love song with mostly piano and violin passages, both on unit (2/8).
This cluster also nicely demonstrates the topology preservation capabilities of the SOM, with the dynamics and intensity of the various pieces of music increasing from left to the right.
To pick just one further example from a different section of the map, we find Cher's ``Believe'', Robbie Williams' ``Rock DJ'', The Pet Shop Boys' ``Go West'' mapped together on unit (4/0) next to Lou Bega's ``Mambo No. 5'' and Tom Jones' ``Sexbomb'' on units (3/0), and (5/0), respectively. Another special mapping worth mentioning in this cluster is the co-location of three songs by a single singer. Ally McBeal - Searching My Soul, Tell Him and It's in his Kiss on the neighboring units (2/1), (3/0), and (3/1), respectively, are all sung by Vonda Shepard and were taken from the same CD, played by the same group with the same set of accompanying instruments. Furthermore, the title It's in his Kiss is a cover version of Cher's Shoop Shoop Song, which is also located in this cluster on unit (4/1).
