“…Many studies have dealt with the singer identification but they assume the presence of a singer [17], [11], and [5]. The problem of the singing voice detection independently of the identification process, has been more recently studied [13], [4], [14], and [6].…”

The music is commonly structured in terms of the three classical categories which are instrumental, singing or singing-instrumental parts. To refine this notion, the number of singers and/or instruments is searched. An important difficulty appears when a choir in unison is observed: several singers try to reach the same note at the same time and the classical pitch analysis fails. This paper presents a method to detect such situation in an a capella context (without instrument). The approach is based on a temporal segmentation followed by a frequency tracking inside located frequency bands; it exploits the apparent splitting of the high harmonics due to small difference between the singers. The first results obtained on ethnomusicological corpora are quite satisfying and offer interesting perspectives to our work.

“…Although each of those parameters should be considered, the F0, which conveys the melody and many stylistic characteristics [2,3,4,5], should be modeled first. The main interest in using SVS is to give the user a complete control over the synthesis.…”

“…Indeed, the vocal timbre and singing style can influence people's decision on which songs to listen to. In fact, several music information retrieval (MIR) systems based on vocal timbre similarity have been proposed [1][2][3][4][5]. When people listen to singing voices, they can feel that different vocal timbres and singing styles share some factors that characterize their timbres and styles.…”

This paper presents a vocal timbre analysis method based on topic modeling using latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA). Although many works have focused on analyzing characteristics of singing voices, none have dealt with "latent" characteristics (topics) of vocal timbre, which are shared by multiple singing voices. In the work described in this paper, we first automatically extracted vocal timbre features from polyphonic musical audio signals including vocal sounds. The extracted features were used as observed data, and mixing weights of multiple topics were estimated by LDA. Finally, the semantics of each topic were visualized by using a word-cloud-based approach. Experimental results for a singer identification task using 36 songs sung by 12 singers showed that our method achieved a mean reciprocal rank of 0.86. We also proposed a method for estimating cross-gender vocal timbre similarity by generating pitch-shifted (frequency-warped) signals of every singing voice. Experimental results for a cross-gender singer retrieval task showed that our method discovered interesting similar pitch-shifted singers.
