【Music】Article four: 'Digital music and critical music literacy'
The Society of Music Analysis report indicated that digital music often sits uncomfortably within a curriculum where the main focus is on the non-digi... [more]
【Music】Music-making for music teacher identity: perspectives from novice music teachers in South Korea
Music teacher identity is constructed at the intersection between musician and teacher. This study investigated the meaning of music-making among Kore... [more]

Slicing it all ways: Mathematical models for tonal induction, approximation, and segmentation using
This paper presents the spiral array model and its associated algorithms for tonal induction, approximation, and segmentation. The spiral array is a geometric model for tonality that clusters perceptually similar tonal entities. The model summarizes music
The neural basis of human dance
Human dance was investigated with positron emission tomography to identify its systems-level organization. Three core aspects of dance were examined: entrainment, meter and patterned movement. Amateur dancers performed small-scale, cyclically repeated tan
Modeling the competitive effect of phosphate, sulfate, silicate, and tungstate anions on the adsorpt
The mobility of Mo in soils and sediments depends on several factors including soil mineralogy and the presence of other oxyanions that compete with Mo for the adsorbent's retention sites. Batch experiments addressing Mo adsorption onto goethite were con
The impact of Turkish military bands on European court festivals in the 17th and 18th centuries
Ever since Turkish forces first crossed the Bosporus, the threat of Ottoman domination in Europe was made real by almost 400 years of armed confrontation. The West viewed the Turkish empire with a mixture of curiosity and fear. A long series of cultural c
Spatial polarimetric time-frequency distributions for direction-of-arrival estimations
Time-frequency distributions (TFDs) are traditionally applied to a single antenna receiver with a single polarization. Recently, spatial time-frequency distributions (STFDs) have been developed for receivers with multiple single-polarized antennas and suc
A note on the effect of auditory stimulation on the behaviour and welfare of zoo-housed gorillas
Auditory stimulation has long been employed as a form of therapy for humans and animals housed in institutions. Its effect on one of our closest-living relatives, the gorilla, however, is largely unknown. This study explored the effect of auditory stimula
On the asymptotic performance analysis of subspace DOA estimation in the presence of modeling errors
This paper provides a new analytic expression of the bias and RMS error (root mean square) error of the estimated direction of arrival (DOA) in the presence of modeling errors. In [1]-[5], first-order approximations of the RMS error are derived, which are
Estimation of position and radius of cylindrical targets using MUSIC algorithm in cross-borehole rad
To date, for the tomographic signals obtained in cross-borehole radar measurement in which transmitting and receiving antennas are scanned independently, a position estimation method for the isolated reflector has been studied by applying the transmission
Musical training and language-related brain electrical activity in children
This experiment aimed at testing whether 8 weeks of musical training affect the ability of 8-year-old children to detect pitch changes in language. Twenty nonmusician children listened to linguistic phrases that ended with prosodically congruous words or
Examining the validity of self-report: middle-level singers' ability to predict and assess thei
The purpose of the present study was to determine choral students' ability to predict and evaluate their sight-singing skills. Participants were asked to assign a rating based on how well they predicted they would sight-sing five musical examples. Follow
The legal and technological battle in the music industry:: Information-push versus information-pull
Peer-to-peer (P2P) technologies are often seen as a threat by copyright owners because they encourage piracy by making digital copies easier to obtain. In response, major record companies have come up with new devices designed to protect original material
The clustering evolution of distant red galaxies in the GOODS-MUSIC sample
Aims. We study the clustering properties of Distant Red Galaxies ( DRGs) to test whether they are the progenitors of local massive galaxies. Methods. We use the GOODS-MUSIC sample, a catalog of similar to 3000 Ks-selected galaxies based on VLT and HST obs
Exploring pianist performance styles with evolutionary string matching
We propose novel machine learning methods for exploring the domain of music performance praxis. Based on simple measurements of timing and intensity in 12 recordings of a Schubert piano piece, short performance sequences are fed into a SOM algorithm in or
Sex differences in emotional and psychophysiological responses to musical stimuli
Although it is known that men and women differ in their music preferences and emotional reactions to music, little is known about sex differences in physiological reactions to music. In our study, we therefore set out to examine the differential reactivit
Analysis as interpretation: Interaction, intentionality, invention
This essay advocates analysis of the human-music interaction that articulates what the music does to or for someone (e.g., that it confuses, astonishes, or moves a listener), and how it does so. To connect analysis to musical sensibility, I reframe it as
