Humbly, she would call herself a homemaker, which is an understatement for her creative work; providing a culturally rich home environment. Instinctively, she understood the power of multi-modality before it was even a term. A woman of deep faith, she exemplified a vibrant love of God and the Bible. Hers was not a religion of legalism, but of freedom. As a result, the atmosphere she created encouraged creativity; rich with music, art and literature. Early on, she introduced us to children’s literature, as she read aloud Winnie the Pooh, Peter Rabbit and many other illustrated classics. Her deep love of illustrated children’s books was infectious. Later, she continued to encourage a love of literature with an ever growing library that included The Secret Garden, Anne of Green Gables, The Chronicles of Narnia, Lord of the Rings, The Princess and the Goblin and The Little House series.

Tours roll across the coun- try like mobile homes in a Florida hurricane. The most memo- rable for this magazine/bar owner were the Warped Tour and Wakestock, where such bands as Bad Religion, Billy Talent, Alexisonfire, Closet Monster, The Trews and Crowned King had audiences in mosh-pit frenzies. At Wakestock, in Wasaga Beach, Ont., Gasoline, Fox Racing, and Bluenotes rocked so hard at their two-day private cottage party that local authorities shut down the stage after Magneta Lane and Flashlight Brown. Poor Moneen didn't get to crush the eardrums of the drunken revellers. That was day one! Day two was an even bigger party with the live music again shut down. The Reason, Moneen and Crowned King owned the patio until Alexisonfire and their crew rolled into party. Gasoline would also like to thank Chuck (see cover story) and other UN officials for making sure that the boys in Sum41 made it back to the Bovine for another cocktail, despite the nearby mortar and gunfire during their Warchild excursion.

  • An Assessment of Psychoacoustical Models in The
    Abstract A simple system for recognizing music is presented, based on various musical descriptors, num- bers that describe some aspect of the music. Various descriptors are discussed; in particular, a novel descriptor, the floor-1 cepstral coefficient (F1CC) measure, a refinement of MFCCs based on the Vorbis psychoacoustical model is presented and evaluated. Also, various forms of statistical dimensionality reduction, among them PCA and LDA, are considered in the present context. Finally, a few directions for future work are discussed. vii viii Acknowledgments First of all, I would like to thank my advisor Jan Tro, who patiently provided feedback and guidance over the course of the entire semester. However, several other people have played important roles: Greg Maxwell originally proposed the idea that eventually led to the develop- ment of F1CCs, and Chris Montgomery provided helpful guidance on the internals of the Vorbis encoder. Mette Langaas helped with various insights on statistics, in particular dimensionality reduction. H˚avard Midtkil provided his entire music collection in FLAC format as data mate- rial, saving countless hours of ripping labor.
