  • 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.

The album exhibits a shift in Robinson's music style from the heavy, bass-fueled complextro of his previous work to a more alternative form of electronic music. Contents. Background [ edit | edit source ] During 2012 and 2013, while touring extensively on his Language tour, the then 19-year-old producer began to grow increasingly tired of the current commercial EDM scene, feeling that it was inhibiting his creativity by being too formulaic, with the production process being centered around making "DJ friendly" tracks. He decided instead to create an album that was true to himself and that channeled his own feelings of nostalgia: particularly his interest in Japanese culture such as video games, anime and Vocaloids.

  • Tess of the D'urbervilles Hardy, Thomas
    Tess of the d'Urbervilles Hardy, Thomas Published: 1891 Categorie(s): Fiction, Romance Source: Feedbooks 1 About Hardy: Thomas Hardy, OM (2 June 1840 – 11 January 1928) was an English novelist, short story writer, and poet of the naturalist movement. The bulk of his work, set mainly in the semi-imaginary county of Wessex, de- lineates characters struggling against their passions and circumstances. Hardy's poetry, first published in his fifties, has come to be as well re- garded as his novels, especially after the 1960s Movement.

The pair of legs that carried him were rick- ety, and there was a bias in his gait which inclined him somewhat to the left of a straight line. He occasionally gave a smart nod, as if in confirma- tion of some opinion, though he was not thinking of anything in particu- lar.
