Description:
The course consists of three parts covering the topics of music analysis, cognition, and synthesis with emphasis on recent advances.
The first part covers methods and models for music analysis. This includes statistical methods for parameterization of music signals and methods for music information retrieval. In the second part, models of music perception and cognition are covered, including analysis of symbolic representations of music. Finally, physical models of music instruments are covered in the last part along with parametric and interactive methods for synthesis and spatialization of sounds.

Important information concerning PhD courses
We have over some time experienced problems with no-show for both project and general courses. It has now reached a point where we are forced to take action. Therefore, the Doctoral School has decided to introduce a no-show fee of DKK 5,000 for each course where the student does not show up. Cancellations are accepted no later than 2 weeks before start of the course. Registered illness is of course an acceptable reason for not showing up on those days. Furthermore, all courses open for registration approximately three months before start. This can hopefully also provide new students a chance to register for courses during the year. We look forward to your registrations.
