I've spent close to two decades making music strictly for the sake of art and my own enjoyment. I've also been paid to play and dj before. But one must admit the reality of this is little more than a hobby. During my music theory training the rigidness with which the classical masters held to musical formula was really emphasized. From traditional chord progressions to song structure there was an underlying set of principles that steered these composers to produce masterpieces with a pronounced clarity of vision and appeal to the masses. I believe the statistical analysis of music aesthetics will yield way to another set of musical formula. The evolution in the theory of musical archetypes is still young but with the proper evaluation of all relevant data one should be able to distinguish the optimum structural and tonal aspects of music with mass appeal. As of yet these "Arch types" have not been created, no ones ever heard them.. we barely know they exist by statistical analysis. Almost every bodies favorite Top 30 song is mathematically similar to one of these archetypes, so in effect they would have a haunting familiarity. Arguably they could be considered the true core of modern musical art. And to hold to topic I think Vocaloid Technology could play a key part in engineering these beasties.

HSS statistically analyzises Top 30 hits to determine mathematical similarities in pitch, tempo, and structural format, as well as spectral analysis and over 25 additional variables directly from the digitalized audio signal. It has been noted that there are a finite number of clusters that all most all hit songs fall into. Although I have not had direct access to this data, it can be hypothesising that there are 18-55 mathematical archtypes based on the clustered formation. HSS does not take into consideration of vocal content although the tonal aspects make a marked expression as a vocal insturment. While Vocaloid may still be in it's infancy, I believe a synthetic vocal insturment will be more efficent at matching the model of the mathematical archtype. This voiceset sampling technique is similiar to MBROLA synthesis. Voice set creation is extensive and requires a studio enviroment. the possiblity of reanimating a deceased performance artist vocals is highly unlikely with this technique. Leave it to Yamaha to dress it up fun enough for kids to play with. Check out this topic bending HSS link: http://www.hitsongscience.com/index.php?p=w

Hit Song Science + Vocaloid = $.$

"Vocaloid V1.0 Serial Number Generator" is what people really need.. atleast for the "VOCALOID Software Update version 1.0.2" keywords.. heh.. no sir.. i'm not looking for CRACKZ.. no WAREZ for me.. i can't even find the original binary.. #audiowarez on IRC seems to be locked up pretty tight.. what's the secret password? *clicks his heels three times winks twcie and nudges the /join.* and no mention of Vocaloid on the p2p nets.. I'm assuming it's released if they're offering updates.. meh.. if i did find one of the aforementioned scandelous items i'd surely hide em safely at: http://www.e-n-felix.com/forum so they wouldn't fall into the wrong hands .. of course..
