  • Musical Humility
    © Copyright 2018 William J. Coppola Musical Humility: An Ethnographic Case Study of a Competitive High School Jazz Band William J. Coppola A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2018 Reading Committee: Patricia Shehan Campbell, Chair Steven J. Morrison James A. Banks Shannon Dudley Program authorized to offer degree: Music University of Washington Abstract Musical Humility: An Ethnographic Case Study of a Competitive High School Jazz Band William J. Coppola Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Patricia Shehan Campbell School of Music In any form, musical participation is an intimately social activity. Yet, as musicians unflinchingly commit their fullest selves to shared musical collaborations, the natural human penchant for self-interest inevitably comes along for the journey, threatening to compromise collectivistic desires with more egocentric comportments. Undeniably, the ego plays an inextricable—and at times antagonistic—role in the negotiation of musicians’ performed identities. But as pervasive as the ego may be throughout various spheres of musical practice, it has yet to become a topic of empirical music research. In response to this gap in the literature, the purpose of the current study was to contribute an initial understanding of humility’s role in musical participation. This research utilized an ethnographic case study (including non-participant observation and interviews as the primary means of data collection) over the course of six months to examine the presence of prosocial and antisocial behaviors among the students and director of a competitive high school jazz band in the Pacific Northwest. First, three broad themes of musical egoism were identified: (a) seeking and desiring superiority, (b) displays of self-importance, self-promotion, and self-orientation, and (c) an inflated self- view.

  • Groove: Shared Time and Its Meanings
    Feeling the groove: shared time and its meanings for three jazz trios Abstract The notion of groove is fundamental to jazz culture and the term yields a rich set of understandings for jazz musicians. Within the literature, no single perspective on groove exists and many questions remain about the relationship between timing processes, phenomenal experience and musical structures in making sense of groove. In this account, the experience and meaning of groove is theorised as emerging from two forms of sharedness. Firstly, a primary intersubjectivity that arises through the timing behaviours of the players; this could be likened to the ‘mutual tuning-in’ described in social phenomenology. It is proposed that this tuning-in is accomplished through the mechanism of entrainment. The second form of sharedness is understood as the shared temporal models, the cultural knowledge, that musicians make use of in their playing together. Methodologically, this study makes use of detailed investigation of timing data from live performances by three jazz trios, framed by in-depth, semi-structured interview material and steers a new course between existing ethnographic work on jazz and more psychologically informed studies of timing. The findings of the study point towards significant social and structural effects on the groove between players. The impact of musical role on groove and timing is demonstrated and significant temporal models, whose syntactic relations suggest musical proximity or distance, are shown to have a corresponding effect on timing within the trios. The musician’s experience of groove is discussed as it relates to the objective timing data and reveals a complex set of understandings involving temporality, consciousness and communication.

  • Comparing Feature-Based Models of Harmony
    Comparing Feature-Based Models of Harmony Martin Rohrmeier1 and Thore Graepel2 ? 1 Freie Universit¨atBerlin 2 Microsoft Research Cambridge [email protected] Abstract. Predictive processing is a fundamental process in music cog- nition. While there are a number of predictive models of melodic struc- ture, fewer approaches exist for harmony/chord prediction. This paper compares the predictive performance of n-gram, HMM, autoregressive HMMs as well as feature-based (or multiple-viewpoint) n-gram and Dy- namic Bayesian Network Models of harmony, which used a basic set of duration and mode features. The evaluation was performed using a hand-selected corpus of Jazz standards. Multiple-viewpoint n-gram mod- els yield strong results and outperform plain HMM models. However, feature-based DBNs outperform n-gram models and HMMs when incor- porating the mode feature, but perform worse when duration is added to the models. Results suggest that the DBNs provide a promising route to modelling tonal harmony.

  • Of the Rules of Jazz”: Stylistic Models and Algorithmic Creativity in Human-Computer Improvisation
    “All of the Rules of Jazz”: Stylistic Models and Algorithmic Creativity in Human-Computer Improvisation Brian A. Miller NOTE: The examples for the (text-only) PDF version of this item are available online at: hps://www.mtosmt.org/issues/mto.20.26.3/mto.20.26.3.miller.php KEYWORDS: improvisation, jazz, corpus studies, computer music, style, George Lewis ABSTRACT: Though improvising computer systems are hardly new, jazz has recently become the focus of a number of novel computer music projects aimed at convincingly improvising alongside humans, with a particular focus on the use of machine learning to imitate human styles. The aempt to implement a sort of Turing test for jazz, and interest from organizations like DARPA in the results, raises important questions about the nature of improvisation and musical style, but also about the ways jazz comes popularly to stand for such broad concepts as “conversation” or “democracy.” This essay explores these questions by considering robots that play straight-ahead neoclassical jazz alongside George Lewis’s free-improvising Voyager system, reading the technical details of such projects in terms of the ways they theorize the recognition and production of style, but also in terms of the political implications of human-computer musicking in an age of algorithmic surveillance and big data.

  • An Empirical Study of Refactoring Challenges and Benefits at Microsoft
    KIM et al.: IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON SOFTWARE ENGINEERING, ACCEPTED ON MARCH 16TH, 2014 1 An Empirical Study of Refactoring Challenges and Benefits at Microsoft Miryung Kim, Member, IEEE, Thomas Zimmermann, Member, IEEE, Nachiappan Nagappan, Member, IEEE Abstract—It is widely believed that refactoring improves software quality and developer productivity. However, few empirical studies quantitatively assess refactoring benefits or investigate developers’ perception towards these benefits. This paper presents a field study of refactoring benefits and challenges at Microsoft through three complementary study methods: a survey, semi-structured interviews with professional software engineers, and quantitative analysis of version history data. Our survey finds that the refactoring definition in practice is not confined to a rigorous definition of semantics-preserving code transformations and that developers perceive that refactoring involves substantial cost and risks. We also report on interviews with a designated refactoring team that has led a multi-year, centralized effort on refactoring Windows. The quantitative analysis of Windows 7 version history finds the top 5% of preferentially refactored modules experience higher reduction in the number of inter-module dependencies and several complexity measures but increase size more than the bottom 95%. This indicates that measuring the impact of refactoring requires multi- dimensional assessment. Index Terms—Refactoring; empirical study; software evolution; component dependencies; defects; churn.
