  • The KNIGHT REVISION of HORNBOSTEL-SACHS: a New Look at Musical Instrument Classification
    The KNIGHT REVISION of HORNBOSTEL-SACHS: a new look at musical instrument classification by Roderic C. Knight, Professor of Ethnomusicology Oberlin College Conservatory of Music, © 2015, Rev. 2017 Introduction The year 2015 marks the beginning of the second century for Hornbostel-Sachs, the venerable classification system for musical instruments, created by Erich M. von Hornbostel and Curt Sachs as Systematik der Musikinstrumente in 1914. In addition to pursuing their own interest in the subject, the authors were answering a need for museum scientists and musicologists to accurately identify musical instruments that were being brought to museums from around the globe. As a guiding principle for their classification, they focused on the mechanism by which an instrument sets the air in motion. The idea was not new. The Indian sage Bharata, working nearly 2000 years earlier, in compiling the knowledge of his era on dance, drama and music in the treatise Natyashastra, (ca. 200 C.E.) grouped musical instruments into four great classes, or vadya, based on this very idea: sushira, instruments you blow into; tata, instruments with strings to set the air in motion; avanaddha, instruments with membranes (i.e. drums), and ghana, instruments, usually of metal, that you strike. (This itemization and Bharata’s further discussion of the instruments is in Chapter 28 of the Natyashastra, first translated into English in 1961 by Manomohan Ghosh (Calcutta: The Asiatic Society, v.2). The immediate predecessor of the Systematik was a catalog for a newly-acquired collection at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Brussels. The collection included a large number of instruments from India, and the curator, Victor-Charles Mahillon, familiar with the Indian four-part system, decided to apply it in preparing his catalog, published in 1880 (this is best documented by Nazir Jairazbhoy in Selected Reports in Ethnomusicology – see 1990 in the timeline below).

  • Art for the Disabled Electric​2​ Guitar
    Art for the Disabled 2 Electric ​ Guitar ​ Major Qualifying Project Report in partial completion of the degree requirements for Bachelor of Science, Electrical and Computer Engineering Joshua DeNoncour 2019 Approved by: Stephen J. Bitar, Advisor Electrical and Computer Engineering, WPI 0 Abstract Diseases such as ALS and muscular dystrophy have no cure, and cause a loss of muscle function as the disease progresses. This project was aimed to help those with disabled arms or hands play the bass guitar, creating a prototype bass guitar that received user input from an easy to use controller, designed to mimic bass playing in its design. A microcontroller processes the signals from the user and from the guitar, and controls a motor that adjusts the tension on the string. 1 Acknowledgements I would like to thank professor Stephen Bitar for his extensive help in this project, as well as the WPI Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) Dept. for providing me with the skills to complete this project, William Appleyard of the WPI ECE store for his assistance in procuring parts, and finally, I would like to thank my friends and family, especially my father, for giving me the passion for music that made this project possible. 2 Executive summary Muscular Dystrophy is a debilitating disease that gradually reduces muscle mass in patients, resulting in a loss of motion, strength, and ability. To help combat the mental effects of such a disease, and to give people who suffer a voice through music, a bass guitar was developed and modified to allow a user with Muscular Dystrophy to play.

I present results from an eth- nographic study of the Dutch improvising music collective the Instant Composers Pool, founded in 1967 and still performing. With a background in jazz, ex- perimental music and performance art, this group developed an improvisatory musical practice in which musical notations are freely used. hese pieces mediate the social and creative agency of the musicians in the group. As such, they pro- vide a case for reconsidering the nature of musical notation, and the distinction between composition and improvisation, which have been foundational for the academic study of music, and constitutive for a distinction between the aesthetic and the social.

  • 1 El Canto Llano
    Francisco Camacho Morfín* ANTROPOLOGÍA La tina, ¿instrumento típico de México? n México los músicos ambulantes ejercen su oficio en espacios pú- Eblicos y en negocios donde se permite que trabajen, como camiones, res- toranes y cantinas, lo cual se debe casi siempre a que a estos artistas —con su repertorio de piezas comerciales de moda— pocas veces se les reconoce como portadores de elementos tradicionales. En ocasiones, la creatividad lleva a los músicos ambulantes tanto a la fabricación de sus instrumentos como a constituirse en hombres orquesta, donde un solo ejecutante maneja simultáneamente varios instrumentos. El uso de estos recursos musicales proyecta una imagen de originalidad, sobre todo cuando emplean objetos cotidianos. Aunque los instrumentos implementados así parecen creaciones completamente nuevas, no es raro que sean una faceta de la pervivencia de tradiciones culturales, donde nue- vos materiales se integran al mismo principio acústico de modelos ante- riores. Un instrumento notable, autoconstruido y utilizado por músicos am- bulantes, es un monocordio denominado tina, el cual constituye un bajo construido con un recipiente de lámina de hierro galvanizada, con una capacidad aproximada de 60 litros, al que se coloca una cuerda atada a un mástil y se ejecuta al mismo tiempo que una armónica de boca. A pesar de su aspecto espontáneo, es posible documentar un pasado, una transfor- mación, así como situar regiones de empleo e identificar ejecutantes. Asunto que se aborda para México en la presente contribución, en la que se parte del mecanismo de control de los sonidos hasta llegar a los resul- tados obtenidos en entrevistas. Tipos de cordófonos Dentro de los recursos musicales actualmente más empleados, este tipo de instrumentos se divide en dos grandes grupos: los de marco, como el * Instituto Nacional de Investigaciones Forestales, Agrícolas y Pecuarias, INIFAP-Sagarpa.

Keynote Address: Roscoe Mitchell Featured Performers and Speakers: Joëlle Léandre and India Cooke isim INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR IMPROVISED MUSIC THIRD ANNUAL CONFERENCE About ISIM Mission Statement ISIM promotes performance, education, and research in improvised music, and illuminates connections between musical improvisation and creativity across fields. Narrative Reflecting the melding of diverse cultures, ethnicities, disciplines, and ideas that shapes society at large, today’s musical world is increasingly characterized by creative expressions that transcend conventional style categories. Improvisation is a core aspect of this global confluence, and in recent years the phrase “improvised music” has emerged as a kind of an overarching label for much of this eclectic musical activity. Initially used to describe jazz and its offshoots, the phrase now encompasses a broad spectrum of formats—from computer music and multi-media 1 collaborations to string quartets, bebop quintets and multiethnic fusion. Enabling spontaneous interactions between musicians from the most disparate backgrounds, the dissolution of boundaries between performers and listeners, and access to the transcendent dimensions of creative experience, improvisation is at the heart of a new musical paradigm that is uniquely reflective of contemporary life. Musical improvisation may also shed light on creativity in a wide variety of fields, as corporate executives, educators, athletes, medical professionals and other practitioners recognize an improvisatory core to success, progress, and fulfillment in their respective disciplines.

On the inside of the tub, put the fender washer on first, followed by the other washer, and finally the locking nut. You may need to use a wrench to tighten the lock nut as tight as it will go. 5. Next get the 6 feet of nylon twine and tie it onto the eye of the eyebolt. Tie 3 to 4 overhand knots, so that it is very secure. 6. Set the grooved end of the broom handle onto the bottom edge of the wash tub, string the twine through the hole in the end of the broom handle.
