idm09 (tempo db)

The idm09 used in our ISMIR 2009 paper consists of tenty-seven 30 second excerpts chosen from the IDM/glitch genre of electronic music, with an emphasis on tracks that we thought were rhythmically complex. For each excerpt, two independent manual annotations were made.

We hope to make this database (feature matrices and recordings) available for download soon.

This database was initially assembled for a project in applying content-based recommendation techniques to Indian Classical music. For this reason its content is quite wide ranging, in terms of sub-genre, era, recording quality, performer, instrument, etc.

This database was assembled primarily from recording made by me in Kolkata in 2006. Most of the recordings contain only the solo instrument or voice. The recordings were made with accompanying instruments, mainly tanpura, and tabla for metric sections, but the solo instrument was extracted from the mutli-tracked sessions. These recordings are excellent for melody classification and modeling tasks. An accompanying text file gives the artist, raag, instrument, and tonic frequency ("Sa").
