In sound processing, the mel-frequency cepstrum (MFC) is a representation of the short-term power spectrum of a sound, based on a linear cosine transform of a log power spectrum on a nonlinear mel scale of frequency.

Mel-frequency cepstrum

Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs) are coefficients that collectively make up an MFC. They are derived from a type of cepstral representation of the audio clip (a nonlinear "spectrum-of-a-spectrum"). The difference between the cepstrum and the mel-frequency cepstrum is that in the MFC, the frequency bands are equally spaced on the mel scale, which approximates the human auditory system's response more closely than the linearly-spaced frequency bands used in the normal cepstrum.

This frequency warping can allow for better representation of sound, for example, in audio compression. Mel scale. Plots of pitch mel scale versus Hertz scale Play . 440 Hz = 549.64 mels.

Like it’s predecessor, Elektrosluch 2 is a means to listen to the electromagnetic sounds of the world around you. Fans, computers, cell phones, routers, and just about anything electronic create strange and interesting sounds when probed with Elektrosluch 2. The campaign seems to be doing well enough with its target audience of experimental music and audio folks.

Il a même alimenté «l'économie des artistes superstars», titre le site Musically, qui relaie une étude récente d'un analyste de MIDiA consulting, spécialisée dans le conseil aux médias. A l'en croire, 1% des artistes les plus cotés sur le marché capterait près de 77% de l'ensemble des revenus générés par la musique enregistrée. «Intuitivement, la démocratisation de l'accès à la musique» grâce aux nombreux forums, sites spécialisés et plateformes de streaming sur Internet, «aurait dû se traduire en une dilution de l'effet de l'économie des superstars», poursuit de son côté le blog Music Industry.

How Paco de Lucía transformed modern flamenco. As I think of the recently deceased guitarist Paco de Lucía, there is one thought that immediately comes to mind: he has arguably brought about the most thorough transformation of flamenco in the second half of the 20th century.

How Paco de Lucía transformed modern flamenco

He brought into effect an enormous range of stylistic innovations and was involved in a huge number and variety of artistic collaborations. This makes it very difficult to give his oeuvre a precise location in the complex constellation of styles that forms the universe of flamenco today. But if one had to describe his contribution to this music in only a few words, it would be fair to say that he pushed its boundaries in unprecedented and innumerable directions.

He mixed flamenco with jazz and other popular music styles and opened it up to the colourful charm of the electric bass, saxophone and flute, among other instruments. Like most – if not all – innovators, Paco de Lucía is not without illustrious precedents. Getting started as a DJ: Mixing, mashups and digital turntables - Cole Plante.

It’s the music that many men say they like, but don’t actually know anything about. Which is a shame for a whole host of reasons.

In a report published Tuesday, Spotify revealed the inner workings of its payout systems for artists with music available on the service.

The company debunked the claim that the service pays per stream, revealing that things are slightly more complex. Rather than a flat rate per play of a song, Spotify considers the success of an artist relative to the entire Spotify ecosystem to determine how much money they get. Royalties for, say, one song are paid out based on the proportion of plays it gets out of all of the plays Spotify doles out in a given time period. There are other factors to the payout formula.

Last week I had a familiar experience: I plugged one of my favorite songs (by the excellent drone metal band Earth) into Spotify’s radio feature and their first recommendation was worlds apart from my original. Yes, the genre and vibe were similar, but the song felt completely different to me.

Put simply, I hated it. So I skipped ahead to the next song and then the next. Like so many others, I gave up, and instead used Spotify as a way to stream music, not as a means of discovering great new songs. YURI SUZUKI. John Coltrane’s Handwritten Outline for His Masterpiece A Love Supreme. Click the image above to view it in a larger format.

The great jazz saxophone player John Coltrane was born 87 years ago today. To mark the occasion we present this rare document from the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History: Coltrane’s handwritten outline of his groundbreaking jazz composition A Love Supreme. Recorded in December of 1964 and released in 1965, A Love Supreme is Coltrane’s personal declaration of his faith in God and his awareness of being on a spiritual path. “No road is an easy one,” writes Coltrane in a prayer at the bottom of his own liner notes for the album, “but they all go back to God.” If you click the image above and examine a larger copy of the manuscript, you will notice that Coltrane has written the same sentiment at the bottom of the page.
