The recent growth of a digital music market induces increasing demands for music searching and recommendation services. In order to improve the performance of music-based application services, the process of extracting melodies from polyphonic music is essential. In this paper, we propose a method to extract melodies from piano solo music which is highly polyphonic and has a wide pitch range. We categorize piano music into three classes taking into account the characteristics of music, and extract melodies according to each class. The performance evaluation for the implemented system showed that our method works successfully on a variety of piano solo music.

Purpose: This study aims to respond to essential queries regarding significant impacts the Korean Wave had on the music business especially in light of K-pop's explosive growth on the international scene and how to transform Hallyu into the global dynamics of the music business. Also, the study investigates what degree of cultural bridging through Music's universal language has Kpop achieved beyond its status as a purely musical genre. Research design, data and methodology: For the process of data collecting, the current investigators used a combination of keywords and controlled vocabulary terms to conduct in-depth searches across reputable academic databases, including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. Keywords are significant in searching databases such that the desired articles can be sought out wiith the keywords "Korean Wave," "Hallyu," and "music industry,". Results: The investigators found the globalization of K-pop, diverse audience engagement, digital transformation, and cultural exchange through Music as four critical effects of the Korean Wave on the music business. Conclusions: Lastly, this study concludes that As we end our investigation into Hallyu's effects on the music business, it is clear that Korean Music's cultural impact and international appeal have created new opportunities and particular difficulties for both professionals and artists.

We developed a electronic music glove (BMG) system that plays musical scores in real time processing. The EMG system interfaces with the signal coming from the controller to the sound card in the computer, The computer, according to the status of the fingers and foot switches, generates the sound signals and sends them to the speaker systems through the application C++ program and MIDI message. The EMG systems control the velocity and duration of sound and several musical performance expressions such as chorus, reverberation, rhythm, and volume. Finally, we implemented the digital drum set using: the EMG system as example.

The demand and production for mobile music increases as the number of smart phone users increase. Thus, the standard of selection of a user's preferred music has gotten more diverse and complicated as the range of popular music has gotten wider. Research to find intelligent techniques to ingeniously recommend music on user preferences under mobile environment is actively being conducted. However, existing music recommendation systems do not consider and reflect users' preferences due to recommendations simply employing users' listening log. This paper suggests a personalized music-recommending system that well reflects users' preferences. Using AHP, it is possible to identify the musical preferences of every user. The user feedback based on the Bayesian network was applied to reflect continuous user's preference. The experiment was carried out among 12 participants (four groups with three persons for each group), resulting in a 87.5% satisfaction level.

Recent popular music is made in an easy, simple, and repetitive style for the audience. German drummer Anika Niles, has creatively expressed her music and performance using Quintuplet, Septuplet, and Nonuplet that are not often used in music, different from traditional music styles. The purpose of this study is to analyze the use of tuplet used by Anika Nilles and derive the effect accordingly to present the possibility of development in future music. The research method analyzes the techniques used by dividing the consecutive notes into three main categories: five, seven, and nine. This study classified and analyzed her performance techniques using tuplet that are not usually used in music and presented various applications. Anika Nilles expressed the characteristics of tuplet and played them accordingly, and the fact that there are various methods of application showed that her performance technique using them was of sufficient research value.

This paper is a study aimed at facilitating a comprehensive understanding of the music metaverse platform that will emerge in the era of Web 3.0 and exploring productive strategies for its construction. We examine the significance of the metaverse music platform from various perspectives and investigate the developmental process of digital music platforms from Web 1.0 to 3.0. Subsequently, assuming the emergence of metaverse platforms as a transition to Web 3.0, we align this transition with technological(VR technology, wearable devices, generative AI), cultural(digital avatars, fandom), and economic(NFT) discussions related to Web 3.0. These discussions are integrated with the developmental strategies of the metaverse music platform. Through this study, we hope to enhance the understanding of the metaverse music platform and provide insights into potential construction strategies.

Summary. Most of American pop music, which are dominating the hegemony of the global pop music market, have been derived from the culture of African Americans, most of whom were slaves of European immigrants. The music of black slaves must be the one of the greatest undisputed achievements that have most influenced the American history. Indeed, All of the mainstream pop music works around the world, including those in America, are the descendants of the black music with the gene of the black people. We can say, therefore, the music born through the Afro-American culture has become the music that every person around the world enjoys in the present. Accordingly, K-Pop music culture, centered in idol group, is also based on the black music. This fact suggests that the K-Pop culture can be spread into people in different customs or traditions with little resistance. The success factor of Motown, at the very center of the black music, which integrated the whole global music, is not only their incredibly outstanding music works, but also the self-consciousness the musicians have that they are strongly reluctant to settle down to present reality. This shall lead to the necessity of self-reflection for the Korean music market, which are obsessed with present popularity and only taking advantage of teenager market, and for those engaged in music business in Korea, who are lack of the artistic value and the consciousness as artist.

The music with the times, evolved from analogous tape music to digital music. New authoring tools, interfaces, and applications make us to produce high quality music using cheap equipments. Inspired by this concept, we design an classical chinese style-instrument with the audio-visual interactive function. It enables a user to compose music and to see a vivid picture at the same time.

Consumers changed to the subject to produce a digital contents as data transmission technique is advanced and a digital machine is diffused variously. Users are interested greatly in a user creative movie (UCM) production among various online contents. The UCM production method which uses the music and picture is the method that users make the UCM more easily. However, the UCM production service has the problem that any association does not exist in the music and picture and that the picture changes according to fixed time interval without the relation at a music rhythm. To solve this problem, we propose the UCM production method which uses a music analysis and picture analysis in the paper. A music analysis finds a picture change time according to the rhythm and a picture analysis finds the association of the picture. A music analysis finds strong parts of the sound which uses Root-Mean-Square (RMS). And a picture analysis classifies the picture as a scenery picture and people picture which uses structure simplicity of the picture(SSP) and face region detection. A picture analysis got correct result of 86.4% in the experiment and we can finds the association at each picture and arranges the sequence which the picture appears. Therefore, if we use a music and picture analysis at the UCM production, users may make natural and efficient movie.
