Statistical Signal Processing on Iakovos Nafpliotis

By K Michael Tsiappoutas

Classic and modern statistical spectral estimation and time-series algorithms are applied on the landmark Byzantine Music recordings of I. Nafpliotis (1864-1942) to uncover the tonic intervals of the diatonic scale. His intervals are then compared to different theoretical and experimental results within a psychophysical framework of human pitch discrimination. In this attempt of "statistical archeology," the results are as enlightening as the master chanter himself.
