Nowhere does Franklin feel more contemporary, more revolutionary, and more alive than at the University of Pennsylvania. His startling vision of a secular, nonsectarian Academy that would foster an “Inclination join’d with an Ability to serve Mankind, one’s Country, Friends and Family” has never ceased to challenge Penn to redefine the scope and mission of the modern American university. When pursued vigorously and simultaneously, the two missions – developing the inclination to do good and the ability to do well – merge to help form a more perfect university that educates more capable citizens for our democracy. Penn has embodied and advanced Franklin’s revolutionary vision for 279 years. Throughout its history, Penn has extended the frontiers of higher learning and research to produce graduates and scholars whose work has enriched the nation and all of humanity. The modern liberal arts curriculum as we know it can trace its roots to Franklin’s innovation to have Penn students study international commerce and foreign languages.

  • Hatsune Miku – Liveness and Labor and Hologram Singers
    Lucie Vágnerová, Columbia University Liveness and Labor and Hologram Singers Presented at Bone Flute to Auto-Tune: A Conference on Music & Technology in History, Theory and Practice, University of California, Berkeley, April 24-26, 2014. In the past five years, a dynamic music industry has emerged around artificially-voiced singing humanoid effects in Japan. Hatsune Miku is one such pop star with an artificially simulated voice and a 3-dimensional effect that draws on Japanese Manga illustration. Hatsune sings the songs of unsigned, independent songwriters but far from being part of a small musical underground, she has a large fan following. In fact, Vocaloid music was the 8th most popular genre in Japan last year, with 17.4% of the under-40 Japanese listening to Miku.1 The aim of this paper is to investigate the aesthetic, social, and political stakes that come into play in the culture surrounding digitally-voiced humanoid effects. I nominate the study of affective attachments in mediatized musical practices in place of a preoccupation with musical Liveness, a concept problematized in music scholarship of the past two decades.2 I propose that attention to Hatsune 1 Tokyo Polytechnic University Department of Interactive Media, “[Vocaloid Survey]” a press release (February 26, 2013).

  • The Vocaloid Phenomenon of Vocal Synthesis and Sample Concatenation
    The Vocaloid Phenomenon of Vocal Synthesis and Sample Concatenation Cole Masaitis University of Mary Washington Department of Music Dr. Mark Snyder January 30, 2017 Masaitis, 1 Imagine a future where a singing voice synthesizer sang to you, instead of a real human. Instead of imagining that, what if I told you that this particular future has been around for quite some time? Vocaloid, or computer software that matches this exact description has been blowing up in Japan for over a decade, with other areas including the West being largely in the dark about it. In reality, Vocaloid has been slowly but surely seeping into pop-culture in other countries as well and was created all the way back in the early 2000’s. Vocaloid originated in the early 2000’s and was developed by a man named Hideki ​ Kenmochi who some refer to as “the father” of the software, for a research project at Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona, Spain. Following his time at university, Yamaha Corporation funded his research which allowed for the further development of his creation and since then, the ​ software has evolved into the worldwide phenomenon called Vocaloid that exists today. Vocaloid employs sample concatenation or sequence that replicates the human voice, based on actual recordings of different individuals for each voicebank found in the Vocaloid editor programs. Originally, it was only capable of pronouncing vowels, and by the year 2003, the team released their product which was now able to sing simplistic words. Over the years the product went through several iterations before it reached the modern version of vocal synthesis it exemplifies today, in the form of Yamaha’s Vocaloid 4 software with more advanced phonetic, linguistic, and vocal than ever before.

  • Tonseminar Vocaloid
    Tonseminar Vocaloid Name: Chiara Haurand Dozent: Prof. Oliver Curdt Matrikelnummer: 26671 Studiengang: Audiovisuelle Medien 1. Einleitung Dass das Internet schon mehr als einem außergewöhnlichen Phänomen eine Plattform geboten hat, ist heutzutage nichts Neues mehr. Mit einem dieser Phänomene beschäftigt sich diese Arbeit: Vocaloid. Das Produkt hat inzwischen insbesondere in der japanischen Unterhaltungs- und Musikindustrie einen hohen Stellenwert erreicht. Seit seiner Veröffentlichung hat es eine große Fangemeinde gewonnen, die bereit sind, einem Idol zuzujubeln, das keine menschliche sondern eine komplett künstlich erschaffene Persönlichkeit ist. Um dem Erfolg und der Begeisterung um dieses Produkt näher zu untersuchen, ist es erforderlich, der japanischen Popkultur näher auf den Grund zu gehen. Zudem werden in dieser Arbeit die technischen Gegebenheiten des Programms und seine Bedienung näher untersucht. Ein Beispiel, wie Vocaloid heutzutage verwendet wird, ist unter folgendem Link zu finden: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBucCNH78q4 (Abrufdatum: 26.04.2014) 2. Das japanische Idol 2.1 Die Karriere als Idol Idole im japanischen Showbusiness sind in der Regel in mehr als in einer Mediensparte präsent. So kommt es vor, dass sie nicht nur Sänger, sondern auch Schauspieler, Model, Moderator oder Synchronsprecher sind. Vermittelt werden diese Idole häufig durch Agenturen, die das Image und den wirtschaftlichen Erfolg der Idole leiten. Nicht selten ist es der Fall, dass Gesangsgruppen wie AKB48 oder Morning Musume für den Erfolg und die Bekanntheit ihrer Mitglieder verantwortlich sind. In der Regel sind Idole nicht älter als 30. Sie sollen ein Bild der Makellosigkeit vermitteln und einen zu erstrebenden Status für die Fans verkörpern. Dennoch – oder gerade deswegen – werden regelmäßig Castings (zum Teil im Rahmen einer TV- Show) veranstaltet, um jedem das Gefühl zu geben, diese Makellosigkeit selber erreichen zu können.

For VOCALOID creator search, the user can utilize three clues: VOCALOID character name, music genre, and impressions. We defined the music genre by extending generic digital music genre with considering social tags annotated on VOCALOID music videos. We also implemented SVM-based music impres- sion estimator utilizing viewer comments being over 0.8 points in F-values. We compared the proposal with three comparison methods in 12 search tasks and clarified the effectiveness of music genres and impressions. 1. ま え が き 得しながらコンテンツを配信しており,YouTube におい ては,人気のある動画配信者が「トップユーチューバー」 近年,株式会社ヤマハ ∗1が開発した歌声合成技術および として注目され,企業と提携して商品やサービスを生み その応用ソフトウェアである VOCALOID ∗2を使用した 出すという現象が起こるなど,その存在は社会的にも大 楽曲動画が,ニコニコ動画 ∗3や YouTube∗4などの動画投 きくなっている. 稿サービスに多数アップロードされている.VOCALOID このような背景を踏まえ,本研究では,クリエータが 楽曲動画はこれらの動画サイトにおける人気コンテンツ VOCALOID 楽曲動画を公表する場となっているニコニ となっており,VOCALOID 楽曲動画を収録した音楽 CD コ動画において,投稿された楽曲動画に付与されたタグ が市場に出回ったり,カラオケの人気曲として話題になっ と視聴者コメントを利用して,VOCALOID
