  • An Examination of Essential Popular Music Compact Disc Holdings at the Cleveland Public Library
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 435 403 IR 057 553 AUTHOR Halliday, Blane TITLE An Examination of Essential Popular Music Compact Disc Holdings at the Cleveland Public Library. PUB DATE 1999-05-00 NOTE 94p.; Master's Research Paper, Kent State University. Information Science. Appendices may not reproduce adequately. PUB TYPE Dissertations/Theses (040) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC04 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Audiodisks; Discographies; *Library Collection Development; *Library Collections; *Optical Disks; *Popular Music; *Public Libraries; Research Libraries; Tables (Data) IDENTIFIERS *Cleveland Public Library OH ABSTRACT In the 1970s and early 1980s, a few library researchers and scholars made a case for the importance of public libraries' acquisition of popular music, particularly rock music sound recordings. Their arguments were based on the anticipated historical and cultural importance of obtaining and maintaining a collection of these materials. Little new research in this direction has been performed since then. The question arose as to what, if anything, has changed since this time. This question was answered by examining the compact disc holdings of the Cleveland Public Library, a major research-oriented facility. This examination was accomplished using three discographies of essential rock music titles, as well as recent "Billboard" Top 200 Album charts. The results indicated a strong orientation toward the acquisition of recent releases, with the "Billboard" charts showing the largest percentages of holdings for the system. Meanwhile, the holdings vis-a-vis the essential discographies ran directly opposite the "Billboard" holdings. This implies a program of short-term patron satisfaction by providing current "hits," while disregarding the long-term benefits of a collection based on demonstrated artistic relevance.

  • Learning to Dance Through Interactive Evolution
    Learning to Dance through Interactive Evolution In: Proceedings of the 8th European event on Evolutionary and Biologically Inspired Music, Sound, Art and Design (EvoMUSART 2010). New York, NY: Springer, 2010 Greg A. Dubbin and Kenneth O. Stanley School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science University of Central Florida Orlando, FL 32816, USA Abstract. A relatively rare application of artificial intelligence at the nexus of art and music is dance. The impulse shared by all humans to express ourselves through dance represents a unique opportunity to arti- ficially capture human creative expression. In particular, the spontaneity and relative ease of moving to the music without any overall plan sug- gests a natural connection between temporal patterns and motor control. To explore this potential, this paper presents a model called Dance Evo- lution, which allows the user to train virtual humans to dance to MIDI songs or raw audio, that is, the dancers can dance to any song heard on the radio, including the latest pop music. The dancers are controlled by artificial neural networks (ANNs) that \hear" MIDI sequences or raw audio processed through a discrete Fourier transform-based technique. ANNs learn to dance in new ways through an interactive evolutionary process driven by the user. The main result is that when motion is ex- pressed as a function of sound the effect is a plausible approximation of the natural human tendency to move to music. 1 Introduction The ubiquity of dance throughout the cultures of the world [1] hints at its deep connection to human creativity and self-expression. The power of music and dance as a tool for self expression is further demonstrated by the popularity of such music and rhythm-oriented games as Guitar Hero1, Rock Band 2, and Dance Dance Revolution3.

  • Sample Mix Tape 1
    Last Name 1 Your Name Dr. Anthony Atkins English 201 Date My Playlists > Cool Title Baptized an Episcopalian and having grown up in the Catholic Church, it stands to reason that I may be a little confused about my religious views. My father once said something that I whole-heartedly agree with; he said that it doesn’t matter what religion you belong to as long as you are thankful for that which God has given you. I also believe that you should try to be a good person, and above all to appreciate everything in life, whether it is another person’s achievements, a special event or moment, the people in your life, or to value yourself for being the way God made you. My taste in music tends to reflect these views. Instead of having an iPod full of all the latest songs that everyone in the world are listening to, my playlists contain music that reflects on my appreciation for many aspects of my life, including an appreciation for hard work. As people, we would not revere or idolize movie celebrities and sports stars if we did not believe that they can do something that we cannot. In my own life, I find that I am in awe of anyone who is passionate about something and works hard to perfect their skill. I wonder at my father’s ability to fix anything we present him with, I admire my roommate’s talent for crocheting out a scarf every couple of days and, in fact, the only time I ever feel attracted to a specific male friend of mine is when he is bent over his keyboard playing his latest composure.
