The purpose of this article is to study polyphonic techniques in the opera choirs M. Mussorgsky. question raised about identity Mussorgsky's thinking from point view free refraction forms and writing Western European polyphony it. subject are operas "Boris Godunov" "Khovanshchina". Through synthesis research methods, including musicology choral studies, specific features revealed. Attention dra...

This paper presents an evolutionary music software system that generates complex rhythmic polyphony in performance. A population of rhythms is derived from analysis of source material, using a first order Markov chain derived from subdivision transitions. The population evolves in performance, and each generation is analysed to provide rules for subsequent generations.

A revision of the genus Thyreocephalus Guérin-Méneville, 1844 of Africa south of the Sahara is presented. A new genus Afrus gen. nov. was described with the type species Thyreocephalus spegazzinii Bernhauer, 1915, which resulted in following new combination: Afrus spegazzinii (Bernhauer, 1915), comb. nov. Eulissus collarti (Cameron, 1932) was transferred to Afrus. Based on a revision of types a...

In this paper, we focus on the rhythmic component of symbolic music similarity, proposing several ways to extract a monophonic rhythmic signature from a symbolic polyphonic score. To go beyond the simple extraction of all time intervals between onsets (noteson extraction), we select notes according to their length (short and long extractions) or their intensities (intensity+/− extractions). Onc...

We report on the first 180 days of RXTE observations of the outburst of the black hole candidate IGR J17091–3624. This source exhibits a broad variety of complex light curve patterns including periods of strong flares alternating with quiet intervals. Similar patterns in the X-ray light curves have been seen in the (up to now) unique black hole system GRS 1915+105. In the context of the variabi...

Abstract
 The article presents a method using which it is possible to accurately transcribe PC speaker music in games. idea of the transcription modify DOSBox emulator so that records events (note onset times and frequencies) while playing game. This results an initial can be processed notation software.
 Using method, from two games are transcribed analyzed. In Alley Cat (1984), impr...

Nonlinear time series analysis has been widely used to search for signatures of low-dimensional chaos in light curves emanating from astrophysical bodies. A particularly popular example is the microquasar GRS 1915+105, whose irregular but systematic X-ray variability has been well studied using data acquired by the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE). With a view to building simpler models of X-...

  Bakhtin's dialogism respects differences and appreciates dialogue. Different fields of the humanities are increasingly apprehending dialogism; however, few studies have applied it in the realm of critical discourse analysis. The present study presupposes that a fundamental similarity exists between dialogism and critical discourse analysis in their respect for different human voices to be hea...
