The ideation, conception and implementation of new musical interfaces and instruments provide more than the mere construction of digital objects. As physical and digital assemblages, interfaces also act as traces of the authoring entities that created them. Their intentions, likes, dislikes, and ultimate determinations of what is creatively useful all get embedded into the available choices of ...

During a music lesson, participants need to co-ordinate both their turns at talk and their turns at playing. Verbal and musical contributions are shaped by their organisation within the turntaking system. When lessons are conducted remotely by video conference, these mechanisms are disrupted by the asymmetric effects of delay on the interaction; in effect a “non-mutual reality” comprised of two...

abstract there is interchange of cultures and different kinds of ethnos music in the world between different cultures as acculturation. the economical, trade and political interchange, war and immigration has played a prominent role on acculturation; and obviously most of the time dominant culture has more influence on the other culture. one of the acculturation in the field of music devoted to...

Mobile devices represent a growing research field within NIME, and a growing area for commercial music software. They present unique design challenges and opportunities, which are yet to be fully explored and exploited. In this paper, we propose using a survey method combined with qualitative analysis to investigate the way in which people use mobiles musically. We subsequently present as an ar...

Traditional text input modalities, namely keyboards, are often not appropriate for use when standing in front of very large wall displays. Direct interaction techniques, such as handwriting, are better, but are not well suited to situations where users are not in close physical proximity to the display. We discuss the potential of mid-air interaction techniques for text input on very large wall...

The automatic identification of musical instruments is a relatively unexplored and potentially very important field for its promise to free humans from time-consuming searches on the Internet and indexing of audio material. Speaker identification techniques have been used in this paper to determine the properties (features) which are most effective in identifying a statistically significant num...

Scarce water uses driven by hotspots in production and consumption stages of global supply chains have been well studied. However, primary inputs intermediate transmission also leading to large amounts scarce are overlooked. This gap can lead the underestimation impacts certain nation sectors on uses. study identifies critical suppliers centers contributing uses, based environmentally extended ...
