This handbook tackles the understudied relationship between music
and comedy cinema by analysing the nature, perception, and function
of music from fresh perspectives. Its approach is not only
multidisciplinary, but also interdisciplinary in its close
examination of how music and other cinematic devices interact in
the creation of comedy. The volume addresses gender representation,
national identities, stylistic strategies, and employs inputs from
cultural studies, musicology, music theory, psychology,
cognitivism, semiotics, formal and stylistic film analysis, and
psychoanalysis. It is organised in four sections: general
introductions, theoretical investigations, music and comedy within
national cinemas, and exemplary case studies of films or authors.
This book features original papers from 25th International
Symposium on Frontiers of Research in Speech and Music (FRSM 2020),
jointly organized by National Institute of Technology, Silchar,
India, during 8-9 October 2020. The book is organized in five
sections, considering both technological advancement and
interdisciplinary nature of speech and music processing. The first
section contains chapters covering the foundations of both vocal
and instrumental music processing. The second section includes
chapters related to computational techniques involved in the speech
and music domain. A lot of research is being performed within the
music information retrieval domain which is potentially interesting
for most users of computers and the Internet. Therefore, the third
section is dedicated to the chapters related to music information
retrieval. The fourth section contains chapters on the brain signal
analysis and human cognition or perception of speech and music. The
final section consists of chapters on spoken language processing
and applications of speech processing.
This book presents advances in speech and music in the domain of
audio signal processing. The book begins with introductory chapters
on the basics of speech and music, and then proceeds to
computational aspects of speech and music, including music
information retrieval and spoken language processing. The authors
discuss the intersection in the field of computer science,
musicology and speech analysis, and how the multifaceted nature of
speech and music information processing requires unique algorithms,
systems using sophisticated signal processing, and machine learning
techniques that better extract useful information. The authors
discuss how a deep understanding of both speech and music in terms
of perception, emotion, mood, gesture and cognition is essential
for successful application. Also discussed is the overwhelming
amount of data that has been generated across the world that
requires efficient processing for better maintenance, retrieval,
indexing and querying and how machine learning and artificial
intelligence are most suited for these computational tasks. The
book provides both technological knowledge and a comprehensive
treatment of essential topics in speech and music processing.
