Music Data Mining Presents a Variety of Approaches to Successfully Employ Data Mining Techniques for the Purpose of Music Processing Computer Science Chapman & Hall/CRC Music Data Mining Chapman & Hall/CRC Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery Series Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery Series The research area of music information retrieval has gradually evolved to address the challenges of effectively accessing and interacting large collections of music and associated data, such as styles, artists, Music Data lyrics, and reviews. Bringing together an interdisciplinary array of top researchers, Music Data Mining presents a variety of approaches to successfully employ data mining techniques for the purpose of music processing. Mining The book first covers music data mining tasks and algorithms and audio feature extraction, providing a framework for subsequent chapters. With a focus on data classification, it then describes a computational approach inspired by human auditory perception and examines instrument recognition, the effects of music on moods and emotions, and the connections between power laws and music aesthetics. Given the importance of social aspects in understanding music, the text addresses the use of the Web and peer-to-peer networks for both music data mining and evaluating music mining tasks and algorithms. It also discusses indexing with tags and explains how data can be collected using online human computation games. The final chapters offer a balanced exploration of hit song science as well as a look at symbolic musicology and data mining. and Tzanetakis and The multifaceted nature of music information often requires Ogihara, Li, algorithms and systems using sophisticated signal processing and machine-learning techniques to better extract useful information. An excellent introduction to the field, this volume presents state-of- the-art techniques in music data mining and information retrieval to create novel ways of interacting with large music collections.

  • Sobre Control, the Life of Ian Curtis (Anton Corbijn, 2007)
    POSTPUNK, HOLOCAUSTO Y CRISIS DEL SUJETO: SOBRE CONTROL, THE LIFE OF IAN CURTIS (ANTON CORBIJN, 2007) AARÓN RODRÍGUEZ SERRANO Universidad Europea de Madrid Resumen: Ian Curtis –vocalista y líder del grupo Joy Division- se encuentra situado en el límite histórico que separa la cultura punk –compuesta por actitudes de desprecio nihilistas de clara inspiración dadaísta y con ciertas referencias a la ideología nazi- de la introducción de su superación histórica mediante el postpunk. Mediante una metodología de análisis textual de inspiración lacaniana ejercida sobre la película Control: The life of Ian Curtis (Anton Corbijn, 2007) propondremos la manera en la que director conecta la figura de Curtis no sólo con su contexto musical e histórico, sino con algunos de los rasgos mayoritarios que han ido configurando el malestar de los sujetos en las sociedades postmodernas. Para ello, estudiaremos la erosión realizada sobre estructuras históricas de construcción social habituales como la familia, la paternidad o la eficacia simbólica. Palabras clave: Ian Curtis, Joy Division, Postmodernidad, Crisis del sujeto Title: POSTPUNK, HOLOCAUST AND DEATH OF THE SUBJECT Abstract: Ian Curtis –lead Singer and main role in the band Joy Division- is located in the historical frontier between the punk movement –based in violent attitudes of nihilistic and dadaistic inspiration, so as traces of the nazi ideology- and the overcoming of these movement in the postpunk. Using a methodology of textual analysis of lacananian inspiration applied in the movie Control: The life of Ian Curtis (Anton Corbijn, 2007), we will look for the conections of Curtis with his own context –musical and historical-, and for the relation with his own projects with the illnesses of the postmodern societies.

  • Norway's Jazz Identity by © 2019 Ashley Hirt MA
    Mountain Sound: Norway’s Jazz Identity By © 2019 Ashley Hirt M.A., University of Idaho, 2011 B.A., Pittsburg State University, 2009 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Musicology and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Musicology. __________________________ Chair: Dr. Roberta Freund Schwartz __________________________ Dr. Bryan Haaheim __________________________ Dr. Paul Laird __________________________ Dr. Sherrie Tucker __________________________ Dr. Ketty Wong-Cruz The dissertation committee for Ashley Hirt certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: _____________________________ Chair: Date approved: ii Abstract Jazz musicians in Norway have cultivated a distinctive sound, driven by timbral markers and visual album aesthetics that are associated with the cold mountain valleys and fjords of their home country. This jazz dialect was developed in the decade following the Nazi occupation of Norway, when Norwegians utilized jazz as a subtle tool of resistance to Nazi cultural policies. This dialect was further enriched through the Scandinavian residencies of African American free jazz pioneers Don Cherry, Ornette Coleman, and George Russell, who tutored Norwegian saxophonist Jan Garbarek. Garbarek is credited with codifying the “Nordic sound” in the 1960s and ‘70s through his improvisations on numerous albums released on the ECM label. Throughout this document I will define, describe, and contextualize this sound concept. Today, the Nordic sound is embraced by Norwegian musicians and cultural institutions alike, and has come to form a significant component of modern Norwegian artistic identity. This document explores these dynamics and how they all contribute to a Norwegian jazz scene that continues to grow and flourish, expressing this jazz identity in a world marked by increasing globalization.

Collin Chua was also very helpful during a period when Tony was on leave; thank you, Collin. Tony Mitchell and Kim Poole read the final draft of the thesis and provided some valuable and timely feedback. Cheers. Ian Collinson, Michelle Phillipov and Diana Springford each recommended readings; Zac Dadic sent some hard to find recordings to me from interstate; Andrew Khedoori offered me a show at 2SER-FM, where I learnt about some of the artists in this study, and where I had the good fortune to interview Dawn McCarthy; and Brendan Smyly and Diana Blom are valued colleagues of mine at University of Western Sydney who have consistently been up for robust discussions of research matters. Many thanks to you all. My friend Stephen Creswell’s amazing record collection has been readily available to me and has proved an invaluable resource. A hearty thanks! And most significant has been the support of my partner Zoë. Thanks and love to you for the many ways you helped to create a space where this research might take place.

ABSTRACT Drawing on archive material, reviews and personal observation, this thesis examines the use of visual media in stage productions of Shakespeare’s plays. Utilizing examples from the period between 1905 and 2007, the thesis focuses on intermedial productions, explores the media use in Shakespeare productions, and asks why certain Shakespeare plays seem to be more adaptable to the inclusion of visual media. Chapter one considers the technology and societal shifts affecting the theatre art and the audience and Klaus Bruhn Jensen’s three level definition of intermediality which provides a framework for the categorizing the media usage within Shakespeare productions.
