This book is intended for researchers interested in using computational methods and tools to engage with music, dance and theatre. The chapters have evolved out of presentations and deliberations at an international workshop entitled Computer Assisted Music and Dramatics: Possibilities and Challenges organized by University of Mumbai in honour of Professor Hari Sahasrabuddhe, a renowned educator and a pioneering computational musicologist (CM) of Indian classical music.
The workshop included contributions from CM as well as musicians with a special focus on South Asian arts. The case studies and reflective essays here are based on analyses of genres, practices and theoretical constructs modelled computationally. They offer a balanced and complementary perspective to help innovation in the synthesis of music by extracting information from recorded performances. This material would be of interest to scholars of the sciences and humanities and facilitate exchanges and generation of ideas.
Ambuja Salgaonkar has a Ph.D. in Computer Science, M.B.A. (Operations Mgmt), M.A. (English Lit) and about 30 years’ experience teaching at university level and research in problem solving using AI. She has extensively researched Indian heritage science for contemporary applications, including Katapayadi numbers and Shree yantra type of designs for information retrieval and security, exploring the syntax of the Indus script as a consistent messaging system and image processing of palm leaf manuscripts. Her recent published work is in motion planning for agricultural robots, automatic question generation and Konkani-Hindi machine translation. She has been coordinating corpus generating activities related to Marathi and its dialects for the Bhashini project of Government of India. She is the Marathi translator of a collection of 49 essays with the title “India’s cultural history up to 1947 CE,” a multi-lingual project with international collaborators. Ambuja has been a student ofIndian classical music (violin). She has been fortunate to receive guidance from Professor Hari Sahasrabuddhe for her various researches including her Ph.D. work. She is a prolific writer in Marathi. Her articles on Vidushi Veena Sahasrabuddhe, Vidushi Sushilarani Patel and Dr Anjali Nigwekar have been well received. Transcreation of Alice in Wonderland, translation of Tagore's Geetanjali and Haiku forms of Kabir's Dohas are her contributions. Ambuja's current passion is educational technology. She was instrumental in designing as many as ten courses to teach Indian classical music in distance and open learning mode. She successfully conducted a three-semester specialization in computer-assisted music learning at University of Mumbai. Creation of a specialized MOOC on conjoining Ravindra Sangeet with Hindustani classical music and developing a scale for measuring the complexity of composition are her dream projects.
Makarand Velankar, M.E., Ph.D. in ComputerEngineering from SP Pune University, has about 11 years of industry experience. Later, he joined MKSSS’s Cummins College of Engineering for Women, Pune, and has been teaching there for the last 21 years. His passion for research in computational musicology, developed through interactions with Professor Sahasrabuddhe, has led him to explore the world music canvas with focus on Indian music. His doctoral research on query by humming, content-based retrieval, modelling melodic similarity, sentiment analysis, performance evaluation and ML-based recommendation system has received appreciation in conferences like ISMIR. His work in this domain has been published in reputed journals. Developing a commercially available personalized music recommendation system is his immediate goal. In recent times, he has been engaged in exploring the domain of automatic generation of music.
Makarand’s passion for entrepreneurship led him to become a start-up mentor for Wadhwani AI, a multinational NGOlocated in Mumbai. So far, he has mentored more than five student start-ups and provided consultancy to two established business setups to scale up. He has been heading a pre-incubation centre at his college. He has also initiated and nurtured a music technology group."About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
