![]() ![]() When sufficient training examples are available, we find that our model achieves similar performance on both the well-known and novel datasets and statistically significantly outperforms a baseline Hidden Markov Model. In the months prior to the completion of this thesis, a large number of new, fully-labelled datasets have been released to the research community, meaning that the generalisation potential of models may be tested. This performance is realised by the introduction of a novel Dynamic Bayesian Net- work and chromagram feature vector, which concurrently recognises chords, keys and bass note sequences on a set of songs by The Beatles, Queen and Zweieck. In this thesis we introduce a machine learning based automatic chord recognition algorithm that achieves state of the art performance. As previously obscure genres, which tend to use insects more, become more popular (witness the rise of Rap music), it is possible that even more insect songs will be heard on the airwaves. As Hogue (1987) cites only eight insect songs from traditional or classical music, the results of this study suggest that rock music has utilized insects to a much greater extent, although the percentage of the total is small. Little biological information is provided by insect music, the most common exceptions being metamorphosis and curious methods of insect control. Overall, insects in music have been used to great effect in eliciting humor, especially the dark and twisted kind, and occasionally to address deeper issues. Popular music, however, has more participants (artists) and titles (albums and tracks) than the other media, perhaps allowing a broader range of expression of attitudes toward insects. ![]() Not surprisingly, these applications are similar to those found among films and cartoons. Hymenopterans are the insects most commonly cited, probably because they have both charming qualities and painful associations, such as stinging. ![]() Lepidoptera probably are well represented because of the beauty of butterflies and moths and Diptera for the negative hygienic associations of flies, maggots and mosquitoes. Insects have been used for a diversity of effects in rock music but primarily for their appealing qualities and for shock value. ![]()
