Bringing together leading European music research and industry
partners, "Semantic HiFi" will deliver next generation
tools for HiFi systems. The French Institut
de Recherche Musicale et Coordination Acoustique et Musique
IRCAM has taken a leading role as coordinator. Beside
the Fraunhofer IDMT, further project partners were SONY-CSL,
SONY-NSCE, Native
Instruments as well as the universities Pompeu
Fabra in Spain and Ben-Gurion
in Israel.
The main innovations of the project include
a deeper access to the audio content and structure through
state-of-the-art semantic musical metadata extraction and
exploitation (partially from MPEG-7): temporal segmentation,
polyphonic, melodic, and high-level descriptions like genre,
etc.
Users will be offered innovative possibilities of manipulation,
edition, re-composition, organization, sharing and interactivity
with the audio material, and true 3D audio rendering and real
time remixing of music.
Using music from CDs, consumers are able to freely exchange
metadata information enriching their music and allowing them
to listen to remix sessions performed by other users. But
with appropriate DRM systems sharing music files is also possible
and may even support new profitable music business models
for the music industry.
