António Ramires

Next week Antonio Ramires defends his PhD thesis "Automatic Characterization and Generation of Music Loops and Instrument Samples for Electronic Music Production". 🗓️9 February at 11:00 📍Room 55.309 UPF Poblenou Barcelona upf.edu/web/mtg/home/-…

MTG (@mtg_upf) at @ismir2021 🙌 See you next year!!!

Today I'll be presenting our work on 🥁drum loop🥁generation on @ieeeICASSP! If you are there, stop by the Applications in Music and Audio Processing Session at 22h30 Spanish time. Presentation+Poster: ieeeicassp-virtual.org/presentation/p…

We've been working on extending our NeuroDrum to generate drum loops 🥁! It's called LoopNet and it was accepted for @ieeeICASSP. The paper is now on IEEEXplore and we created an interactive demo on Colab. 📝Paper: ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/94150… Demo and Code: github.com/aframires/drum…

@porcaro_lorenzo It's super cool!

It has been a while since I publish something. I am getting too old, someone says... (maybe also time to change the profile picture) soundcloud.com/user-317275950…

@MasYoungblood @currents_fm @ovidmusick @joshbenbow Sweet! I'm very happy about seeing more and more people joining Currents! Unfortunately I was too busy with work when they were doing the call 😥

Excited to be DJing on @currents_fm with @ovidmusick and @joshbenbow next month! Prepping some custom visuals for it ✨ More details soon 🔜

@antonioframires a Caucenar aí fortíssimo @ twitch.tv/radiouc

Uma nova cara, um novo site e todo um aniversário pela frente para a mais linda do mundo. E às 17h o @antonioframires a partir tudo. Dias bonitos para contrastar com este ano para esquecer 📻

The MTG is looking to hire a researcher to work on the development of machine learning algorithms for music audio analysis and representation for music recommendation systems, with a further possibility of joining the PhD program on these topics. upf.edu/web/mtg/home/-…

@henryjbird @thormagnusson @boblsturm This might be an interesting read: unionofmusicians.org/justice-at-spo… I'd say musicians aren't paid because Spotify doesn't really want to pay musicians. Lots of shady things going on in there.

@thormagnusson @boblsturm subscription cost should rise in line with inflation *at least*.. frankly who cares if people cancel their subscriptions.. not musicians certainly, bcus vanishingly small number of musicians make an actual living from their service! musicians should withdraw their free labour

Spotify operates with loss year after year. Musicians are not earning any money for their music because Spotify pays them hardly anything. Can anyone see the problem? The solution?

New release of mirdata, an open-source Python library that provides tools for accessing and working with a number of publicly available datasets of relevance to the field of Music Information Retrieval (MIR) upf.edu/web/mtg/home/-…

Caucenus is a producer and music technology researcher from Coimbra, Portugal. He creates ritualistic sounds with brutal and distorted leads, combined with heavily fragmented and glitched-out percussion. His inspirations include Tarraxo and Batida. open.currents.fm/c/caucenus

One of the most well-known pieces of software for downloading YouTube videos, “youtube-dl” was removed from GitHub following a takedown notice from the Recording Industry Association of America, or RIAA. Someone encoded the source code into two images and put it on Twitter:

Paper, poster and video on program.ismir2020.net/poster_2-16.ht… Annotator can be accessed at mtg.upf.edu/fslannotator/ The code for the annotator and for the analysis of the dataset can be found at github.com/aframires/free… And the dataset is available on zenodo.org/record/3967852

Today I'll present our work "Freesound Loop Dataset and Annotation Tool" at @ismir2020 . We hope the dataset will allow more open and reproducible research on audio loops and that the annotator will enable more community contributed annotations!

Team composed of @antonioframires , @SeunghunSunmoon , @snegurotschka , @dadabots , Laura Ibánez, Seunghun Lee, Ying Wang

Work conducted with Frederic Font, @di_bogdanov , @jblsmith and @affige_yang and his students!

For @ismir2020 , we created a dataset of loops from @freesounddev , propose an online annotator interface and annotated around 3k loops! The annotator is now public, contribute! 👨🏻‍💻Annotate: mtg.upf.edu/fslannotator 📄Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2008.11507 🖥️Code: github.com/aframires/free…

Give the webpage some seconds to load the sounds before hitting play!

This past weekend I was in the @ArsElectronica AIxMusic Online Hackathon. We were set to understand "AIesthetic". We converted soundscapes to string instruments using @GoogleMagenta 's DDSP. We got cool results! Demo: soundscape-ai.netlify.app Presentation: youtu.be/cYx3JX5KiTA?t=…
