Article
This chapter discusses the struggles for cultural hegemony in Turkey as manifested in the practices of Turkish popular music by focusing on the last two decades of neoliberalism, roughly between years 2000–2020. This period corresponds to one of the most striking changes in the history of Turkey where the state and its institutions, and thus offici...
Chapter
This paper tries to map studies in Turkey onto studies in the Anglophone world. First, we briefly discuss the historical differences between studies based on shift from the sociology of arabesk in Turkey and the sociology of rock in Anglophone popular music studies to the sociology of popular music. Then, we mainly focus on similarities by a critic...
Article
This article reviews the state of popular music studies in Turkey in comparison to IASPM's Anglo-American history of popular music studies. The main focus is on the similarities and dissimilarities in studies based on shifts in paradigms: firstly the shift from the sociology of arabesk music in Turkey and sociology of rock music in the Anglo-Americ...

This study presents an automatic transcription system for Turkish music for the first time in literature. We first discuss the characteristics of Turkish music that are taken into consideration in the design of the system. Then, the following signal processing components of the system are described briefly in relation to each other and explaining t...
Article
In this paper, we suggest a novel group delay based method for the onset detection of pitched instruments. It is proposed to approach the problem of onset detection by examining three dimensions separately: phase (i.e., group delay), magnitude and pitch. The evaluation of the suggested onset detectors for phase, pitch and magnitude is performed usi...
Article
This study reviews the use of pitch histograms in music information retrieval studies for western and non-western music. The problems in applying the pitch-class histogram-based methods developed for western music to non-western music and specifically to Turkish music are discussed in detail. The main problems are the assumptions used to reduce the...
Article
Current music information retrieval (MIR) methods are specifically tailored to the needs of western music. Therefore, it is not straightforward to apply these methods to non-western musics such as traditional Turkish art music (TTAM). Western music theory plays a crucial role in MIR studies. The divergence, however, between theory and practice in t...
Conference Paper

This study discusses differences between Turkish music and Western music from an information retrieval perspective. It proposes use of frequency histograms for various music information retrieval applications: automatic tonic detection, makam classification, tuning analysis, theory-practice mismatch measurement. It announces a Matlab toolbox: Makam...

A study of mismatches between theory and performance necessitates analysis of large databases. It is very crucial that the Turkish music research community builds, shares and uses common databases containing recordings and parametric data obtained via analysis like pitch analysis, statistical analysis. This study presents such an attempt, namely co...
Article
BACKGROUND IN MUSIC THEORY Tanbur (or tambur) is the common name of a long-necked, fretted, plucked lutes of the Middle East and Central Asia (Hassan et al., 2009). The studies of the earliest theorists such as Al-F"r"b# (d 950) and Saf# al-d#n (d 1294) based on the fretting of tanbur for the description of tuning systems shows the importance of ta...
Article

Background in ethnomusicology. Turkish traditional art music is mainly based on makam, melodic organisation and usul, rhythmic organisation. Each makam i (pl. makamlar) generally corresponds to a set of rules that define the type of scale and melodic progression. Therefore Turkish traditional art music is basically classified by makam names both in...
