    UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI Date: 29-Apr-2010 I, Tyler B Walker , hereby submit this original work as part of the requirements for the degree of: Doctor of Musical Arts in Composition It is entitled: An Exhibition on Cheerful Privacies Student Signature: Tyler B Walker This work and its defense approved by: Committee Chair: Mara Helmuth, DMA Mara Helmuth, DMA Joel Hoffman, DMA Joel Hoffman, DMA Mike Fiday, PhD Mike Fiday, PhD 5/26/2010 587 An Exhibition On Cheerful Privacies Three Landscapes for Tape and Live Performers Including Mezzo-Soprano, Bb Clarinet, and Percussion A dissertation submitted to the Division of Research and Advanced Studies of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in the Division of Composition, Musicology, and Theory of the College-Conservatory of Music 2010 by Tyler Bradley Walker M.M. Georgia State University January 2004 Committee Chair: Mara Helmuth, DMA Abstract This document consists of three-musical landscapes totaling seventeen minutes in length. The music is written for a combination of mezzo-soprano, Bb clarinet, percussion and tape. One distinguishing characteristic of this music, apart from an improvisational quality, involves habituating the listener through consistent dynamics; the result is a timbrally-diverse droning. Overall, pops, clicks, drones, and resonances converge into a direct channel of aural noise. One of the most unique characteristics of visual art is the strong link between process and esthetic outcome. The variety of ways to implement a result is astounding. The musical landscapes in this document are the result of an interest in varying my processes; particularly, moving mostly away from pen and manuscript to the sequencer.

  • The Percussion Family 1 Table of Contents
    THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA WHAT IS AN ORCHESTRA? Student Learning Lab for The Percussion Family 1 Table of Contents PART 1: Let’s Meet the Percussion Family ...................... 3 PART 2: Let’s Listen to Nagoya Marimbas ...................... 6 PART 3: Music Learning Lab ................................................ 8 2 PART 1: Let’s Meet the Percussion Family An orchestra consists of musicians organized by instrument “family” groups. The four instrument families are: strings, woodwinds, brass and percussion. Today we are going to explore the percussion family. Get your tapping fingers and toes ready! The percussion family includes all of the instruments that are “struck” in some way. We have no official records of when humans first used percussion instruments, but from ancient times, drums have been used for tribal dances and for communications of all kinds. Today, there are more instruments in the percussion family than in any other. They can be grouped into two types: 1. Percussion instruments that make just one pitch. These include: Snare drum, bass drum, cymbals, tambourine, triangle, wood block, gong, maracas and castanets Triangle Castanets Tambourine Snare Drum Wood Block Gong Maracas Bass Drum Cymbals 3 2. Percussion instruments that play different pitches, even a melody. These include: Kettle drums (also called timpani), the xylophone (and marimba), orchestra bells, the celesta and the piano Piano Celesta Orchestra Bells Xylophone Kettle Drum How percussion instruments work There are several ways to get a percussion instrument to make a sound. You can strike some percussion instruments with a stick or mallet (snare drum, bass drum, kettle drum, triangle, xylophone); or with your hand (tambourine).

  • Learning Neural Audio Embeddings for Grounding Semantics in Auditory Perception
    Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research 60 (2017) 1003-1030 Submitted 8/17; published 12/17 Learning Neural Audio Embeddings for Grounding Semantics in Auditory Perception Douwe Kiela [email protected] Facebook Artificial Intelligence Research 770 Broadway, New York, NY 10003, USA Stephen Clark [email protected] Computer Laboratory, University of Cambridge 15 JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FD, UK Abstract Multi-modal semantics, which aims to ground semantic representations in perception, has relied on feature norms or raw image data for perceptual input. In this paper we examine grounding semantic representations in raw auditory data, using standard evaluations for multi-modal semantics. After having shown the quality of such auditorily grounded repre- sentations, we show how they can be applied to tasks where auditory perception is relevant, including two unsupervised categorization experiments, and provide further analysis. We find that features transfered from deep neural networks outperform bag of audio words approaches. To our knowledge, this is the first work to construct multi-modal models from a combination of textual information and auditory information extracted from deep neural networks, and the first work to evaluate the performance of tri-modal (textual, visual and auditory) semantic models. 1. Introduction Distributional models (Turney & Pantel, 2010; Clark, 2015) have proved useful for a variety of core artificial intelligence tasks that revolve around natural language understanding. The fact that such models represent the meaning of a word as a distribution over other words, however, implies that they suffer from the grounding problem (Harnad, 1990); i.e. they do not account for the fact that human semantic knowledge is grounded in the perceptual system (Louwerse, 2008).

  • KASHCHEI for Nine Instruments and Electronics
    KASHCHEI For Nine Instruments and Electronics Nina C. Young November 2010 KASHCHEI for nine instruments and electronics November 2010 Approximate duration: 18:00 Premiered February 8, 2011, Live@CIRMMT – Montreal, Canada Instrumentation: Program Notes: flute (+ piccolo) Kashchei, for nine instruments and electronics, was written by Nina C. Young in 2010 in partial fulfillment of the Master’s of Music degree at McGill University under the supervision of Prof. Sean clarinet in B (+ bass clarinet) b Ferguson. The piece is a representation of Kashchei – a character from Russian folklore who makes an trumpet in C (+ piccolo trumpet; straight and harmon mutes) appearance in many popular fairytales or skazki. H is a dark, evil person of ugly, senile appearance who principally menaces young women. Kashchei cannot be killed by conventional means targeting his body. 2 percussion: Rather, the essence of his life is hidden outside of his flesh in a needle within an egg. Only by finding this I – vibraphone egg and breaking the needle can one overcome Kashchei’s powers. In one skazka, the princess Tsarevna’s I – almglocken (F4, G#4, A4, C5, D#5, E5, F5, G5, A5, B5, C#6) Darissa asks Kashchei where his death lies. Infatuated by her beauty, he let’s down his guard and I – crotales (E5, F5) eventually explains, “My death is far from hence, and hard to find, on the ocean wide: in that sea is the island of I – triangle I – wind chime Buyan, and upon this island there grows a green oak, and beneath this oak is an iron chest, and in this chest is a small I – splash cymbal basket, and in this basket is a hare, and in this hare is a duck, and in this duck is an egg; and he who finds this egg and I – suspended cymbal (medium) breaks it, at the same instant causes my death.” My own piece explores the seven layers and death of Kashchei.

  • Percussion Primer / Triangle by Neil Grover
    Percussion Primer / Triangle by Neil Grover SELECTION The triangle should be the highest, non-pitched member of the percussion family. Sizes range from 4” to 10”, however, the best size for concert playing is between 6” and 9”. A larger triangle provides a bigger internal working area for easier execution, however, it is heavier and more difficult to control. Triangles are made from steel, brass or bronze, each producing a different sonority. SUSPENSION A triangle needs to be suspended so that it vibrates unencumbered and freely, al- lowing maximum overtone resonance to be produced. It is very important that the instrument be suspended using a very thin, yet strong, mono-filament line. Fishing line works great and is also inexpensive. The use of string, cable, shoelaces, etc. will effec- tively dampen the resonance of any triangle. Using a second “catch line” will pre- vent the triangle from falling to the floor, should the primary line break. A light “triangle clip” will allow the triangle to be mounted on a music stand when not in use. STROKE The triangle should never be played when mounted on a music stand. It should al- ways be held at eye level and struck on the bottom leg with a motion that “pushes away” the bottom leg. This method will produce the maximum overtone sonority. A triangle sound full of overtones will blend with other instruments. Remember, a tri- angle is a non-pitched instrument and should have a very lush array of overtones, it should not sound like a bell! BEATERS Beaters are available in a large variety of sizes (diameters), materials and shapes.

  • Ludwig Musser Concert Percussion 2013 Catalog
    Welcome to the world of Ludwig/Musser Concert Percussion. The instruments in this catalog represent the finest quality and sound in percussion instruments today from a company that has been making instruments and accessories in the USA for decades. Ludwig is “The Most famous Name in Drums” since 1909 and Musser is “First in Class” for mallet percussion since 1948. Ludwig & Musser aren’t just brand names, they are men’s names. William F. Ludwig Sr. & William F. Ludwig II were gifted percussionists and astute businessmen who were innovators in the world of percussion. Clair Omar Musser was also a visionary mallet percussionist, composer, designer, engineer and leader who founded the Musser Company to be the American leader in mallet instruments. Both companies originated in the Chicago area. They joined forces in the 1960’s and originated the concept of “Total Percussion." With our experience as a manufacturer, we have a dedicated staff of craftsmen and marketing professionals that are sensitive to the needs of the percussionist. Several on our staff are active percussionists today and have that same passion for excellence in design, quality and performance as did our founders. We are proud to be an American company competing in a global economy. This Ludwig Musser Concert Percussion Catalog is dedicated to the late William F. Ludwig II Musser Marimbas, Xylophones, Chimes, Bells, & Vibraphones are available in “The Chief.” His vision for a “Total Percussion” a wide range of sizes and models to completely satisfy the needs of beginners, company was something he created at Ludwig schools, universities and professionals.
