  • Computational Modelling and Quantitative Analysis of Dynamics in Performed Music
    Computational Modelling and Quantitative Analysis of Dynamics in Performed Music Katerina Kosta PhD thesis School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science Queen Mary University of London 2017 Abstract Musical dynamics|loudness and changes in loudness|forms one of the key aspects of ex- pressive music performance. Surprisingly this rather important research area has received little attention. A reason is the fact that while the concept of dynamics is related to signal amplitude, which is a low-level feature, the process of deriving perceived loudness from the signal is far from straightforward. This thesis advances the state of the art in the analysis of perceived loudness by modelling dynamic variations in expressive music performance and by studying the relation between dynamics in piano recordings and markings in the score. In particular, we show that dynamic changes: a) depend on the evolution of the performance and the local context of the piece; b) correspond to important score markings and music structures; and, c) can reflect wide divergences in performers' expressive strategies within and across pieces. In a preparatory stage, dynamic changes are obtained by linking existing music audio and score databases. All studies in this thesis are based on loudness levels extracted from 2000 recordings of 44 Mazurkas by Fr´ed´ericChopin. We propose a new method for efficiently aligning and annotating the data in score beat time representation, based on dynamic time warping applied to chroma features. Using the score-aligned recordings, we examine the relationship between loudness values and dynamic level categories. The research can be broadly categorised into two parts.

  • Four Distinctions for the Auditory ``Wastebasket'' of Timbre
    OPINION published: 04 October 2017 doi: 10.3389/fpsyg.2017.01747 Four Distinctions for the Auditory “Wastebasket” of Timbre1 Kai Siedenburg 1, 2* and Stephen McAdams 1 1 Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Music Media and Technology, Schulich School of Music, McGill University, Montreal, QC, Canada, 2 Department of Medical Physics and Acoustics, University of Oldenburg, Oldenburg, Germany Keywords: timbre perception, music cognition, psychoacoustics, conceptual framework, definitions 1. INTRODUCTION If there is one thing about timbre that researchers in psychoacoustics and music psychology agree on, it is the claim that it is a poorly understood auditory attribute. One facet of this commonplace conception is that it is not only the complexity of the subject matter that complicates research, but also that timbre is hard to define (cf., Krumhansl, 1989). Perhaps for lack of a better alternative, one can observe a curious habit in introductory sections of articles on timbre, namely to cite a definition from the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and to elaborate on its shortcomings. For the sake of completeness (and tradition!) we recall: “Timbre. That attribute of auditory sensation which enables a listener to judge that two nonidentical sounds, similarly presented and having the same loudness and pitch, are dissimilar [sic]. NOTE-Timbre depends primarily upon the frequency spectrum, although it also depends upon the sound pressure and the temporal characteristics of the sound.” (ANSI, 1994, p. 35) One of the strongest criticisms of this conceptual framing was given by Bregman (1990), Edited by: commenting, Mari Tervaniemi, University of Helsinki, Finland “This is, of course, no definition at all.

Results: McNamara (Winter 2010 & Winter 2011) Students scored an average of 3.11 and 3.14 on the Key Signature Test. Hermann (Spring 2010 & Spring 2011) Most students scored at Level 3 or Level 4. Analysis and Action: McNamara (Winter 2010 & Winter 2011) In this assessment period I gave the test at the end of the winter quarters and did not integrate it into the rest of my testing procedures or evaluation methods, i.e. it was not included in the students’ final grade for the course. Instead, I used my own key signature tests as part of more comprehensive tests that I gave during the quarter. From now on I will make it a feature of my students’ tests. Not only will I make it count toward their final grade, but I will give an incentive of extra credit points for scoring well on this test.

  • COVID-19 Transmission Risks from Singing and Playing Wind Instruments – What We Know So
    SYNOPSIS 11/18/2020 COVID-19 Transmission from Singing and Playing Wind Instruments – What We Know So Far Introduction Public Health Ontario (PHO) is actively monitoring, reviewing and assessing relevant information related to Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). “What We Know So Far” documents provide a rapid review of the evidence related to a specific aspect or emerging issue related to COVID-19. Updates to our Latest Version In the latest version of COVID-19 Transmission from Singing and Playing Wind Instruments – What We Know So Far, we present results of an updated literature search and rapid review. The updated version provides additional evidence concerning potential COVID-19 transmission during singing and playing wind instruments, including the addition of 22 new articles. We identified 10 new studies on experimental transmission during singing or playing wind instruments; four additional articles reported observational studies on transmission during singing; and there were two reviews of transmission risks during performances. We identified six articles on transmission risks during performances from the grey literature. There have been no published reports on COVID-19 transmission from wind instruments. The findings from this updated rapid review do not change our previous assessment of COVID-19 transmission during singing and playing wind instruments. Key Findings Singing generates respiratory droplets and aerosols; however, the degree to which each of these particles contributes to COVID-19 transmission is unclear. The evidence supporting COVID-19 transmission during singing is limited to a small number of observational studies and experimental models. Thirteen of 1,548 (<1%) documented superspreading events have been associated with singing.
