Investigating the how and why of recent research in interdisciplinary Music Science by interviewing researchers from two angles: inside and outside of their area. Every episode, an expert shares their recommendation for a recent publication and we call up the PI to discuss how the research went and what the results mean for music and science. Note: This podcast is tailored for people into music and science, academics and students in the field rather than the general public.

Episode 2: Aligned Hierarchies and Segmentation with Vincent Lostanlen and guest Katherine Kinnaird

Data Scientist Vincent Lostanlen recommends Katherine Kinnaird's “Aligned Hierarchies: A Multi-Scale Structure-Based Representation for Music-Based Data Streams”, published in the proceedings of ISMIR (2016). Vincent and Finn interview Dr. Kinnaird about this method for abstracting structure in music through repetition, how it has been implemented for fingerprinting on Chopin's Mazurkas, and how Aligned Hierarchies could be used for other tasks and on other musics.
