First, this is cool. As someone who studied Sound Engineering it's not often that you see this type of post on HN. Second - The scientific journal that published the article looks really interesting - The Journal of New Music Research. I wasn't aware of this. Now to find out if the local college library subscribes! http://www.informaworld.com/smpp/title~db=all~content=t713817838 http://www.informaworld.com/smpp/title~db=all~content=t71381... Also, looks like a future issue in 2011 will be a special issue on 'Music and Machine Learning' http://www.auditory.org/mhonarc/2010/msg00428.html http://www.auditory.org/mhonarc/2010/msg00428.html

Machine Learning had a special issue on machine learning and music in 2006, if you're interested: http://springerlink.metapress.com/content/p59760403721/?p=39815c0c5c564a5eb3bffde16a754438&pi=1 http://springerlink.metapress.com/content/p59760403721/?p=39... There's also a cool conference on bringing various kinds of technology and research methods to music: http://www.nime.org/ http://www.nime.org/

When you find it, could you please confirm whether or not it is peer-reviewed?

  I've just skimmed the article. If you know music theory (scales, intonation) and a little math you can at least get the gist of it. I agree with mycroftiv's comment. It's nice in the sense that it formalizes in a new way some knowledge we already had, but it doesn't seem to be anything new or surprising.
