The use of artificial intelligence techniques for a model proposal reflecting the makam structures

SUMMARYIn the context of this study; ?a thinking concept? that will reflect the structural changes inthe ?hearing and practice based? makams of our traditional musics related to the culturaleffects; is proposed. It is believed that this thinking concept will act as a base for moreprogressed ?makam models? that shall be developed in the future. Also, the possibleinteraction of ?artificial intelligence? methods with such a concept and the potentialadvantages of this approach will also be discussed. It is very obvious that the basic sourcesthat will be used within this study will be ?Edvars?, which have the capability of reflectingcompletely; but sometimes a bit subjectively; the inner theoretical characteristics of our musicbased on practice. Of course, formulating such a study needs more than an individualengagement and knowledge supply. So this study aims form an initial seed and concept for amodel that will include clues from the past studies and is supposed to leave new hints for thefuture studies. It is for sure that there is a great burden of work to carry for all musicologistsof this land; to be able to form theories reflecting the musical strucutures of Anatolia and topresent them to the world culture.Keywords: Makam, sound organization, hüseyni, Anatolian music, Anatolian traditionalmusics, traditional music, performance, artificial intelligence, integrated traditional musics,folk music, classical Turkish music, Ottoman urban music.
