Analysis of Chord Progression Networks was awarded the prize for Best Documentation at the HAMR hackathon, that was part of the ISMIR 2020 conference. We create a chord progression network using guitar chord tabs. By representing chords as nodes and transitions between chords as edges, we obtain a network suitable for the plethora of analysis methods that have been developed in the field of network science. We use the network to analyze communities, identify influential chords and compare differences between chord progressions across genre and decade. Finally, we apply stochastic walks to generate new chord progressions. Read More …
