The Yin Yang Theory in sound and Music: a First Exploration.

Le résumé fourni par la source

Today the Chinese theory of the Yin and Yang principles is well known in western countries, often in its philosophical aspects.However, in the far east it has been used for millenia to explain and solve pragmatic problems.Notwithstanding its fuzzy and holistic nature, the Yin Yang theory has already been successfully applied to the analysis of physical and biological systems.In this paper, the theory is extended to the field of acoustic signals and their time-frequency representation, allowing for a simple yet functional way to analyze, discuss and formalize various aspects of sound, accessible to experts and non-experts.The framework can also have application on synthesis algorithms, generative music and music therapy.Two highlevel features for automatic analysis are proposed based on MPEG-7 low-level descriptors and future scenarios to assess sound properties and their effect on human subjects are discussed.
