libmogra

A Python Toolbox for Indian (Classical) Music

The Why

For playing around (understanding, modifying, etc.) with music & audio specifically in the Indian context. Music theory standardization as well as tool development has been done extensively for western music, but other music cultures lag behind. This library will start with small features, but the dream is to have a Photoshop for Indian music.

The What

This is intended to be a higher-level layer on top of the widely used librosa. If you must have an acronym, here it is: a LIBrary for the Manipulation, Organization, Generation, and Raag-aware Analysis of music. If that's too much, think of mogra the flower :)

mogra CLI

pip install libmogra

will also install the mogra command-line interface.
