A lightweight Python library for musical emotion analysis

Project description

feel: Python Library for Musical Emotion Analysis

feel is a lightweight Python library for analyzing a music file and scoring it across multiple emotions based on its acoustic features (pitch, rhythm, timbre).


🚀 Installation

Install via PyPI:

pip install feel

🎵 Supported Formats

  • WAV
  • FLAC
  • MP3
  • M4A/AAC
  • OGG/OPUS

(FFmpeg must be installed and in your PATH for MP3/AAC/OGG/OPUS support.)


🔍 How It Works

  1. Load Audio: Uses soundfile or pydub (with FFmpeg) to read and resample to 22.05 kHz mono.

  2. Extract Features: Computes:

    • Harmonic vs. percussive energy ratio
    • Chroma (CQT) to detect minor/major ratio
    • Tempo (beats per minute)
    • Spectral descriptors (centroid, bandwidth, contrast, rolloff, flatness)
    • Zero-crossing rate (ZCR)
    • Root-mean-square (RMS) loudness
  3. Normalize: Feature values are min–max normalized within the file.

  4. Score Emotions: A weighted sum over features for each emotion (sadness, happiness, grandeur, etc.).

Weights for each emotion are configurable in EMOTION_WEIGHTS.


⚙️ Quickstart

from feel import analyze

# Analyze an audio file and get emotion scores
scores = analyze("path/to/song.mp3")
print(scores)

Each score is a floating-point value (higher = stronger presence of that emotion).


🎨 Customizing Emotions

You can add, remove, or adjust emotion weights in your local feel.py before calling analyze. Example:

from feel import EMOTION_WEIGHTS

# Add a new emotion "mystical"
EMOTION_WEIGHTS['mystical'] = {
    'minor_ratio': 0.0,
    'tempo': -0.2,
    'centroid': 0.1,
    # ... specify all 10 features
}
