  • Magpick: an Augmented Guitar Pick for Nuanced Control
    Magpick: an Augmented Guitar Pick for Nuanced Control Fabio Morreale Andrea Guidi Andrew McPherson Creative Arts and Industries Centre For Digital Music Centre For Digital Music University of Auckland, Queen Mary University of Queen Mary University of New Zealand London, UK London, UK [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper introduces the Magpick, an augmented pick for electric guitar that uses electromagnetic induction to sense the motion of the pick with respect to the permanent mag- nets in the guitar pickup. The Magpick provides the gui- tarist with nuanced control of the sound that coexists with traditional plucking-hand technique. The paper presents three ways that the signal from the pick can modulate the guitar sound, followed by a case study of its use in which 11 guitarists tested the Magpick for five days and composed a piece with it.

  • USING MICROPHONE ARRAYS to RECONSTRUCT MOVING SOUND SOURCES for AURALIZATION 1 Introduction
    USING MICROPHONE ARRAYS TO RECONSTRUCT MOVING SOUND SOURCES FOR AURALIZATION Fanyu Meng, Michael Vorlaender Institute of Technical Acoustics, RWTH Aachen University, Germany {[email protected]) Abstract Microphone arrays are widely used for sound source characterization as well as for moving sound sources. Beamforming is one of the post processing methods to localize sound sources based on microphone array in order to create a color map (the so-called “acoustic camera”). The beamformer response lies on the array pattern, which is influenced by the array shape. Irregular arrays are able to avoid the spatial aliasing which causes grating lobes and degrades array performance to find the spatial positions of sources. With precise characteristics from the beamformer output, the sources can be reconstructed regarding not only spatial distribution but also spectra. Therefore, spectral modeling methods, e.g. spectral modeling synthesis (SMS) can be combined to the previous results to obtain source signals for auralization. In this paper, we design a spiral microphone array to obtain a specific frequency range and resolution. Besides, an unequal-spacing rectangular array is developed as well to compare the performance with the spiral array. Since the second array is separable, Kronecker Array Transform (KAT) can be used to accelerate the beamforming calculation. The beamforming output can be optimized by using deconvolution approach to remove the array response function which is convolved with source signals. With the reconstructed source spectrum generated from the deconvolved beamforming output, the source signal is synthesized separately from tonal and broadband components. Keywords: auralization, synthesizer, microphone arrays, beamforming, SMS PACS no.

  • How to Effectively Listen and Enjoy a Classical Music Concert
    HOW TO EFFECTIVELY LISTEN AND ENJOY A CLASSICAL MUSIC CONCERT 1. INTRODUCTION Hearing live music is one of the most pleasurable experiences available to human beings. The music sounds great, it feels great, and you get to watch the musicians as they create it. No matter what kind of music you love, try listening to it live. This guide focuses on classical music, a tradition that originated before recordings, radio, and the Internet, back when all music was live music. In those days live human beings performed for other live human beings, with everybody together in the same room. When heard in this way, classical music can have a special excitement. Hearing classical music in a concert can leave you feeling refreshed and energized. It can be fun. It can be romantic. It can be spiritual. It can also scare you to death. Classical music concerts can seem like snobby affairs full of foreign terminology and peculiar behavior. It can be hard to understand what’s going on. It can be hard to know how to act. Not to worry. Concerts are no weirder than any other pastime, and the rules of behavior are much simpler and easier to understand than, say, the stock market, football, or system software upgrades. If you haven’t been to a live concert before, or if you’ve been baffled by concerts, this guide will explain the rigmarole so you can relax and enjoy the music. 2. THE LISTENER'S JOB DESCRIPTION Classical music concerts can seem intimidating. It seems like you have to know a lot.

An interface for manipulating these elements is suggested, based on the concept of a disk-jockey turntable as a performance instrument. A system is developed around this idea, enabling optical pickup of visual informa- tion from physical media as input to processes on the computer. Software architecture(s) are discussed and examples are implemented, illustrating the potential uses of the interface for the purpose of creative expression in the virtual domain.
