Detta arbete har sin grund från en tidigare läst kurs, på Mälardalens Högskola, som gick under namnet Industridesign 2. Under denna kurs utdelades en uppgift som bestod i att ”möjliggöra musicerande för funktionshindrade”, och gruppen tog därmed fram ett visuellt koncept över ett fotanpassat instrument för människor med rörelsehinder i överkroppen.

Abstract:

The structured arrangement of sounds in musical pieces, results in the unique creation of complex acoustic mixtures. The analysis of these mixtures, with the objective of estimating the individual sounds which constitute them, is known as musical instrument sound source separation, and has applications in audio coding, audio restoration, music production, music information retrieval and music education. This thesis principally addresses the issues related to the separation of harmonic musical instrument sound sources in single-channel mixtures. The contributions presented in this work include

Abstract:

A particular aspect in the perception of sound is concerned with what is commonly termed as texture or timbre. From a perceptual perspective, timbre is what allows us to distinguish sounds that have similar pitch and loudness. Indeed most people are able to discern a piano tone from a violin tone or able to distinguish different voices or singers. This thesis deals with timbre modelling. Specifically, the formant theory of timbre is the main theme throughout. This theory states that acoustic musical instrument sounds can be characterised by their formant structures. Following this principle, t

Thanks to the advancement of technological progress in networking and signal processing, we can access a large amount of musical content. In order for users to search among these vast catalogs, they need to have access to music-related information beyond the pure digital music file. Manual annotation of music is too expensive, therefore automated annotation would be of great use. A meaningful description of the musical pieces requires the incorporation of information about the instruments present in them.

<p> Choro is a traditional Brazilian music that began in Rio de Janeiro during the latter half of the nineteenth century. A virtuosic instrumental music, choro developed through Brazilian interpretations of European dance genres, especially polka and waltz.

At the turn of the twenty-first century, choro schools now offer venues for defining and validating the tradition as well as inspiring an atmosphere for innovation and crea

A new category of music-related software is proposed, implemented and tested through creative practice. "Wakeful" musical instruments are those whose interaction listeners may understand as musical. The term "wakeful" means here "sign -bearing", in relation to the potential of computers and human beings to interact in terms of exchange of signs. Wakeful instruments may empower the users' capacity for the interpretation of digital music in terms of agency, cognition and communication. These users may experience a phenomenon of collective musical embodiment, producing a shared form of intelligen

Virtual reality is a technology rapidly gaining interest from research and commercial groups around the world, but it's introduction into New Zealand has been slow. The majority of the general public have no concept of virtual reality, and only a few research institutes have begun virtual reality programmes of any sort. Partially this is due to the high cost of 'off the shelf' virtual reality systems, which is usually beyond the range of many organisations.

This thesis develops a new conception for ‘composed instruments’ and explores how these instruments can serve to challenge the established norms of musical relationships. It investigates the relationships between music and those who listen, make and facilitate it and, by extension, the relationship between the audience, the performer, and the composer. Music need not be bound by the constraints of traditional instruments and performances can be interactive as opposed to didactic. These notions are investigated through the lens of a series of composed instruments, particularly the Arduinome (an

As such, it is the first attempt to understand instrument making as a whole from a socio-economic perspective. Traditionally, organological projects have grown from an interest in surviving instruments and, as a result, have been focussed in general on the individual (usually male) whose

Abstract:

This paper investigates the viability of two different mappings of two parameters of the digital musical instrument Force Ghost. The instrument produces sound by having an ambience (a recording of rain or of waves on the beach) filtered by bandpass filters whose center-frequencies are controlled by a midi-keyboard. Five bandpass filters are assigned to each note, corresponding to the fundamental frequency its and its multiples (2f,3f,4f,5f). The mapped parameters are the Q-factor of the bandpass filters and the timbre, defined as the relative level between the even and odd multiples harmonic

Abstract:

By the seventeenth century, Malta had become a nucleus of cultural activity. It provides us with totally new perspectives on the production and consumption of music within a Mediterranean context. Though in some ways comparable to other European centres, its society differed in that there was a large presence of multi-national Knights of the Order of St John coming from the aristocracy of Italy, France, Auvergne, Provençe, Aragon, Castille, Léon, Portugal and Germany. Numerous Arab and Turkish slaves added to the cultural mix living in a concentrated area. This thesis uses the example of the

Abstract:

Cette thèse concerne le morphing de sons d'instruments de musique guidé par des descripteurs audio liés à la perception. Le morphing sonore a pour but d'obtenir des transformations graduelles entre sons. Pour le morphing entre sons d'instruments de musique, l'intérêt porte sur les aspects du timbre et comment les contrôler perceptivement. La spécificité de cette thèse a été de combiner des sons d'instruments de musique à travers différentes dimensions du timbre pour créer l'illusion auditive d'instruments musicaux hybrides. Cette thèse présente des techniques pour obtenir une transformation li

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to investigate the ability of trained musicians and musically untrained college students to discriminate music instrument timbre as a function of duration. Specific factors investigated were the thresholds for timbre discrimination as a function of duration, musical ensemble participation as training, and the relative discrimination abilities of vocalists and instrumentalists. Under the conditions of this study, it can be concluded that the threshold for timbre discrimination as a function of duration is at or below 20 ms. Even though trained musicians tended to d
