This paper lays emphasis on research that gives an insight to the auditory-tactile perception in electronic musical instruments (here, electronic violin) stating that most traditional musical instruments inherently convey tactile feedback to the performer along with the auditory feedback which leads to a tight performer-instrument relationship which is not found in electronic musical instrument...

We describe MusicJacket, a wearable system to support the teaching of good posture and bowing technique to novice violin players. The system uses an inertial motion capture system to track, in real-time: i) whether the player is holding the violin correctly; and ii) the player’s bowing action and whether it deviates from a target trajectory. We provide the musicians with vibrotactile feedback a...

Kajian menitikberatkan setiap objek berhubungan dengan struktur elemen musik, dalam hal lagu-lagu terdapat Violin Method Vol. Sementara analytical fokus sebagai usaha merekonstruksi mengapa bagaimana Shinichi memilih menggunaka...

In this article we present our ongoing work on expressive performance analysis for violin and string ensembles, in terms of synchronization in intonation, timing, dynamics and articulation. Our current research objectives are outlined, along with an overview for the methods used to achieve them; finally, focusing on the case of intonation synchronization in violin duets, some preliminary result...

This paper considers the development of a violin teaching aid, called ViTool, which is based on violin pedagogy, sound analysis, and comparison of beginner and good player recordings. It is a computer based teaching aid and will ultimately consist of at least four task dependent tools. Typical beginner faults have been identified and features, that best describe them for classification purposes...

We have developed a scheme for reducing LIGO suspension thermal noise close to violin-mode resonances. The idea is to monitor directly the thermallyinduced motion of a small portion of (a “point” on) each suspension fiber, thereby recording the random forces driving the test-mass motion close to each violin-mode frequency. One can then suppress the thermal noise by optimally subtracting the rec...

The aim of this research project was to determine the extent to which neck pain is present in violin/viola players and to investigate if fine motor control and dexterity are influenced by dysfunctions as such. This is important to know as impairments in dexterity are expected to have an impact on motor control in violin/viola playing and contribute to a decrease in performance excellence. Playi...

Playing a music instrument relies on the harmonious body movements. Motor sequences are trained to achieve the perfect performances in musicians. Thus, the information from audio signal is not enough to understand the sensorimotor programming in players. Recently, the investigation of muscular activities of players during performance has attracted our interests. In this work, we propose a multi...

Bowed musical instruments have been the subject of scientific investigations for centuries. Yet, the physical phenomena that are behind their timbral quality are still far from being fully understood. This is one of the reasons why the art of violin making is still so strongly tied to tradition. This manuscript describes early results in a study of the relations that exist between timbral and a...
