Glitch DeLighter is a HyperInstrument conceived for Glitch music, based on the idea of using fire expressiveness to digitally distort sound, pushing the body and primitive ritualism into a computer mediated sound performance. Glitch DeLighter uses ordinary lighters as physical controllers that can be played by creating a flame and moving it in the air. Droned sounds are played by sustaining the...

The timbral elements in music analysis of have hitherto resisted systematic analysis due to the lack of tools to objectify them. This is increasingly important as modern composers exploit new acoustic resources. In this study a range of digital tools were applied to the analysis of acousmatic music, including scoring, analysis and modelling techniques. These tools are described and applied to a...

This paper presents an approach to studying Barry Truax’s Riverrun as it is being carried out within the TaCEM project (Technology and Creativity in Electroacoustic Music), a collaboration between the Universities of Huddersfield and Durham funded for 30 months (2012-2015) by the Arts and Humanities Research Council in the United Kingdom. This approach aims at realising an Interactive Aural Ana...

Science and Art Centers (BILSEM) are state institutions in Turkey operating under the Ministry of National Education, which aim to ensure that gifted students acquire a scientific study discipline develop their creativity line with talents interests. In these centers, there three different special talent fields: music, visual arts general talent. this study, it was aimed determine views music t...

Within the past fifteen years, the klezmer (East European instrumental Jewish Music) music scene has included music of Transylvania (usually Kalotaszeg) that is stylistically specific to that region, even when the tunes played are considered Jewish. Popular groups such as Muzsikás and Di Naye Kapelye have circulated and popularized a limited standard repertoire, which has served partially to re...

While the “units, events and dynamics” of memetic evolution have been abstractly theorized (Lynch, 1998), they have not been applied systematically to real corpora in music. Some researchers, convinced of the validity of cultural evolution in more than the metaphorical sense adopted by much musicology, but perhaps skeptical of some or all of the claims of memetics, have attempted statistically ...

This thesis investigates Digital Tabletop Musical Interfaces (DTMIs) in the context of music education. Digital tabletops have emerged in recent years, surrounded by much enthusiasm, and have found applications in a diversity of fields – from museum installations to engineering applications, from information systems, to music making. In particular, their ability to create a link between the phy...

background: exposure to loud music from sources such as portable music players (pmp), especially among adolescents, can lead to noise-induced hearing loss. the aims of this study are as follows: 1) investigate the prevalence of headphone use in iranian university students by assessing their behavior, 2) determine the type of headphones used, and 3) ascertain the type of music player used. metho...

Notes, ornaments and intervals are examples of basic musical elements. Their representation as discrete-time digital audio plays a central role in software for music creation and design. Nevertheless, there is no systematic relation, in analytical terms, of these musical elements to the sonic samples. Such a compendium enables scientific experiments in precise and trustful ways, among education...
