This page lists the datasets (most of them available in Zenodo) created to carry out a number of experiments done as a part of CompMusic. They complement the Corpora of the five music traditions studied. Please visit the respective pages for more details. 

Indian Art Music

Saraga Carnatic and Hindustani collections

This repository contains time aligned melody, rhythm, and structural annotations for two large open corpora of Indian Art Music (Carnatic and Hindustani music). 

The repository contains Carnatic and Hindustani collections in separated zip files, and each collection is organized by songs grouped by artist concerts/live performances. This organization follows the structure generated by downloading the data using the scripts available at the dataset Github repository: https://github.com/MTG/saraga. 

Moreover, there is a part of the Carnatic collection, 168 tracks to be specific, that counts with multitrack audio files apart from the mix audio. The considered instruments are: Ghatam, Mridangam, Violin, Voice and Secondary Voice.

Turkish şarkı vocal dataset is a collection of 10 recordings of compositions from the vocal form şarkı. The collection has annotations with lyrical lines. Each lyrical phrase is aligned to its corresponding segment in the audio. http://compmusic.upf.edu/turkish-sarki

Turkish makam acapella sections dataset

The dataset consists of 12 a cappella performances of 11 compositions with total duration of 19 minutes. Solo vocal versions of the originals have been sung by professional singers (originals taken from Turkish şarkı vocal dataset), due to the lack of appropriate a cappella material in this music tradition. A performance has been recorded in sync with the original recording, whereby instrumental sections are left as silence. This assures that the order, in which sections are performed, is kept the same. http://compmusic.upf.edu/turkish-makam-acapella-sections-dataset

This release contains 6 audio recordings of 4 peşrev compositions from the classical Ottoman-Turkish tradition. There are 51 sections in the audio recordings in total. The total number of the note annotations in the audio recordings are 3896. These annotations typically follow the note sequence in the symbTr. There are 3 inserted and 49 omitted notes in the annotations with respect to the symbTr-scores. http://compmusic.upf.edu/node/233

Turkish Makam Sectıon Dataset

This release contains 2095 sections annotated in 257 audio recordings of 58 compositions. The midi and SymbTr-scores of the compositions are also included in the dataset. For more information please refer to the paper. http://compmusic.upf.edu/node/234
