Teosto – What's this song? @finlandiataloTeosto ry
This document summarizes music recognition pilots conducted in 2012-2013 in Finland. It discusses recognizing music from live performances at festivals like Provinssirock as well as DJ sets from clubs. The pilots found the system could already identify songs with some restrictions and quality of recording did not significantly affect results. Recognition was best from a direct desk output and one DJ set. Processing live and line-out signals caused difficulties in another DJ set. Potential applications discussed were integrated live venue systems, artist-specific services, and big festivals where recognition could help royalty distribution.

11. 1. Tällaista ei ole tehty aikaisemmin
-tehdään ensimmäisenä Suomessa
2. Se on kuitenkin mahdollista
-BMAT on teknisesti edellä muita - käytössä toimivin
tunnistusalgoritmi, mutta ei valmista palvelua
3. Potentiaaliset hyödyt ovat isot
-Festareiden ja livekeikkojen automaattinen musiikin käytön
raportointi
11
22. • Menetelmä on hyödynnettävissä tietyin
varauksin jo nyt osaan genreistä
sellaisenaan esim. mainstream pop/rock
• Tunnistus ei vaadi täydellistä äänenlaatua:
tunnistuksessa ei merkittäviä eroja
äänipöytä- ja yleisötallenteiden välillä.
Kuva: Turo Pekari
23. • Referenssidatan koko rajoitettu:
tunnistusjärjestelmä toimii nopeasti
<1000 äänitteen referenssimäärällä.
Kuva: Turo Pekari
24. Kolme mallia käyttöönottoon
1. ISOT FESTARIT 2. KIINTEÄT 3. KIERTUEET
ENSIN? ASENNUKSET /ARTISTI-
ISOILLE/ KOHTAINEN
-paras hyötysuhde; AKTIIVISILLE KÄYTTÖ?
korvaukset vs. KEIKKAPAIKOILLE
tunnistuksen hinta? ? -”opt-in”: vaihtoehtona
manuaaliraporteille
-Klubit, viihdekeskukset,
laivat
-Paljon tunnistuksia
/vuosi
-Yhdistettynä mekaanisen
musiikin tunnistukseen?
24
26. DJ-pilotti
• Neljä suomalaista DJ:tä • BMAT:n live-
• 1-2 tallennettua settiä /coverversioiden
/DJ tunnistusteknologia
• Selvitetään teknologian •Vertailu äänite-
soveltuvuutta referensseihin
klubiympäristöön /DJ- •Tulokset maaliskuun
käyttöön lopussa
26
27. Voisiko keikkojen raportoinnin
ulkoistaa faneille?
•78% osaa •41% on joskus •12% on
nimetä tehnyt päivityksiä kiinnostunut
suurimman osan somepalveluihin tuottamaan
lempiartistinsa suoraan keikalta sisältöä settilista-
keikkabiiseistä palveluun
Stam1na PMMP
Metallica Mokoma Muse
Chisu Nightwish Amorphis

Editor's Notes
Teosto ja BMAT päättivät ratkaista ongelmanTeosto haluaa kehittää livekeikkojen raportointia ja korvausten maksamistaBMAT haluaa kehittää cover-/livetunnistusteknologiasta valmiin palvelun
Millä ehdoilla käyttöön?Tunnistusvarmuuden parantaminen Integrointi Teoston teostietokantaan Reaaliaikaisuus: suora striimaus keikkapaikalta Kustannustehokkuus
