The MIT Center for Art, Science & Technology (CAST) exists The 2017 symposium “Being Material” emerged from through collaboration, and faculty director Evan Ziporyn and I are a two-year-long conversation. As we began to explore the fortunate to have outstanding colleagues who work with us to unprecedented ability to program materials, we thought about implement the Center’s mission of fostering creative, intellectual, new approaches to materialism in the humanities, the emergence and practical exchanges among the arts, humanities, sciences, of wearable computing in the 1990s, and recent developments and all kinds of technological innovation at MIT and beyond; we in biotechnology that allow researchers to design with the believe that they are mutually informing modes of exploration, units of life.

  • Résonance Et Perception Des Harmoniques Naturelles
    UNIVERSITE PARIS VIII – VINCENNES A SAINT-DENIS UFR « Arts, Philosophie, Esthétique » Département de Musique RESONANCE ET PERCEPTION DES HARMONIQUES ATURELLES Julien GILI Mémoire de maîtrise réalisé sous la direction de M. Philippe MICHEL Année universitaire 2004 – 2005 1 Avant-propos L’élan qui a motivé ce travail pourrait se résumer à une curiosité permanente qui s’est amplifiée au fur et à mesure que je creusais le sujet des vibrations sonores et de l’acoustique naturelle. L’étude des musiques du monde et des instruments peu communs m’a fait prendre conscience que dans les cultures les plus éloignées, aussi bien historiquement que géographiquement, on retrouve des points communs surprenants, des coïncidences qui, au fond ne sont sans doute pas le fruit du hasard. Parmi ces principes universels, je me suis particulièrement penché sur le phénomène de la résonance et celui de la série des harmoniques naturelles. Je tenterai de les rapprocher dans ce mémoire en mettant en évidence leurs effets et leurs utilisations. Il n’y a pas de réel commencement à cette curiosité, mais plutôt une série de découvertes plus ou moins importantes qui, par étapes, m’ont encouragé à en savoir toujours plus. La première phase significative fut franchie grâce au travail de l’ethnomusicologue Trân Quang Hai, qui m’a d’ailleurs accordé un précieux entretien. Dans un documentaire vidéo réalisé par Hugo Zemp, il présente ses recherches sur le chant diphonique. Ce chant, qui fait entendre deux sons simultanément, m’a particulièrement intéressé et l’approche pédagogique de T.Q.Hai m’a encouragé à le développer sur ma propre voix.

  • Squeakeys”: a Friction Idiophone, for Physical Interaction with Mobile Devices
    “SQUEAKeys”: a friction idiophone, for physical interaction with mobile devices Steve Mann, Ryan Janzen, Valmiki Rampersad, Jason Huang, Lei Jimmy Ba University of Toronto http://eyetap.org Abstract—We present “SqueaKEYS”, a musical instrument application to enhance touch screens on mobile devices. Sound is generated acoustically by the sound of one or more fingers rubbing on the glass surface of a liquid crystal display screen, or the like. In this sense, the instrument is not an electronic in- strument, but, rather, a friction idiophone (e.g. in the Hornbostel Sachs musical instrument classification sense). Location sensing on the touch screen is used to frequency-shift the sound onto a musical scale depending on where the screen is rubbed, struck, or touched. In other embodiments the location of the touch is determined with sound localization by way of geophones bonded to a glass substrate, eliminating the need for a touch screen (e.g. to implement the instrument on any glass surface equipped with appropriate listening devices).

  • Swordfishtrombones Revisited
    Swordfishtrombones Revisited Start time: 8pm Approximate running time one hour 30 minutes, no interval Please note all timings are approximate and subject to change David Sheppard talks to David Coulter about discovering a spirit of adventure through Swordfishtrombones. At the dawn of the 1980s, Tom Waits was in danger of sliding into terminal self-parody. While his songs were covered by everyone form The Eagles to Bruce Springsteen, Waits, who had just turned 30, seemed stuck in an artistic rut, his albums delivering a cocktail of retro styles: afterhours burlesques, Beat poet reveries, jazzy stomps and string-laden ballads, all of them rendered in the grizzled cartoon baritone of a heavy-smoking soak at least twice his age. Despite 1980’s Heart Attack & Vine, the sixth and last of his albums for Elektra/Asylum, winning critical plaudits, Waits was growing jaded, holed up in West Hollywood’s sybaritic Tropicana Hotel, still peopling his songs with lonely, hard-boiled characters apparently on loan from desolate Edward Hopper paintings or the novels of Dashiell Hammett. While elsewhere punk’s youthful new broom was gleefully sweeping away the old, Waits remained a goateed, trilby-hatted anachronism, a wilful throwback to a sentimentalised, pre-rock’n’roll America. ‘I used to think I was making movies for the ears… I was overly maudlin and romantic’, he later admitted. Happily, artistic deliverance would soon arrive courtesy of another kind of ‘movie for the ears’ – namely a commission from Francis Ford Coppola to write a ‘lounge operetta’ score for the director’s ambitious cine-musical, One From the Heart.
