Resumo


In this work, we extend a standard and successful acoustic feature extraction approach based on trigger selection to examples of Brazilian Bossa-Nova and Heitor Villa Lobos music pieces. Additionally, we propose and implement a computational framework to disclose whether all the acoustic features extracted are statistically relevant, that is, non-redundant. Our experimental results show that not all these well-known features might be necessary for trigger selection, given the multivariate statistical redundancy found, which associated all these acoustic features into 3 clusters with different factor loadings and, consequently, representatives.
