After feature extraction, the proposed system assumes In this study, a system for Iranian traditional music Dastgah each performed note as an IT2FS, so each musical piece is a classification is presented. Persian music is based upon a set set of IT2FSs.The maximum similarity between this set and of seven major Dastgahs. The Dastgah in Persian music is theoretical Dastgah prototypes, which are also sets of similar to western musical scales and also Maqams in IT2FSs, indicates the desirable Dastgah. Gedik et al.

A Framework for the Static and Dynamic Analysis of Interaction Graphs
A Framework for the Static and Dynamic Analysis of Interaction Graphs DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Sitaram Asur, B.E., M.Sc. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2009 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Prof. Srinivasan Parthasarathy, Adviser Prof. Gagan Agrawal Adviser Prof. P. Sadayappan Graduate Program in Computer Science and Engineering c Copyright by Sitaram Asur 2009 ABSTRACT Data originating from many different real-world domains can be represented mean- ingfully as interaction networks. Examples abound, ranging from gene expression networks to social networks, and from the World Wide Web to protein-protein inter- action networks. The study of these complex networks can result in the discovery of meaningful patterns and can potentially afford insight into the structure, properties and behavior of these networks. Hence, there is a need to design suitable algorithms to extract or infer meaningful information from these networks. However, the challenges involved are daunting. First, most of these real-world networks have specific topological constraints that make the task of extracting useful patterns using traditional data mining techniques difficult. Additionally, these networks can be noisy (containing unreliable interac- tions), which makes the process of knowledge discovery difficult. Second, these net- works are usually dynamic in nature. Identifying the portions of the network that are changing, characterizing and modeling the evolution, and inferring or predict- ing future trends are critical challenges that need to be addressed in the context of understanding the evolutionary behavior of such networks. To address these challenges, we propose a framework of algorithms designed to detect, analyze and reason about the structure, behavior and evolution of real-world interaction networks. -
FIVE CHALLENGES and SOLUTIONS in ONLINE MUSIC TEACHER EDUCATION Page 1 of 10
FIVE CHALLENGES AND SOLUTIONS IN ONLINE MUSIC TEACHER EDUCATION Page 1 of 10 Volume 5, No. 1 September 2007 FIVE CHALLENGES AND SOLUTIONS IN ONLINE MUSIC TEACHER EDUCATION David G. Hebert Boston University [email protected] “Nearly 600 graduate students?”1 As remarkable as it may sound, that is the projected student population for the online graduate programs in music education at Boston University School of Music by the end of 2007. With the rapid proliferation of online courses among mainstream universities in recent years, it is likely that more online music education programs will continue to emerge in the near future, which begs the question of what effects this new development will have on the profession. Can online education truly be of the same quality as a traditional face-to-face program? How is it possible to effectively manage such large programs, particularly at the doctoral level? For some experienced music educators, it may be quite difficult to set aside firmly entrenched reservations and objectively consider the new possibilities for teaching and research afforded by recent technology. Yet the future is already here, and nearly 600 music educators have seized the opportunity. Through online programs, the internet has become the latest tool for offering professional development to practicing educators who otherwise would not have access, particularly those currently engaged in full-time employment or residing in rural areas. Recognizing the new opportunities afforded by recent technological developments, Director of the Boston University School of Music, Professor Andre De Quadros and colleagues launched the nation’s first online doctoral program in music education in 2005. -
Groovology & the Magic of Other People's Music
Groovology and the Magic of Other People’s Music Charles Keil While the word “groove” seems to be gaining ever greater currency, the explorations and wording of groove phenomena in "musicking" (Small 1998) does not seem to be a rapidly growing field of groovology per se. 1 This paper tries to explain the general lack of academic interest in groovology as a discipline and then argues that some important issues can’t be grasped without it. Every groove is both a mystery or Batesonian 'sacrament' as well as a practical, pragmatic or testable practice within a 'joyous science' of measuring "— ultimately, any 'difference which makes a difference,' traveling in a circuit." (Bateson 1991:xiii) The practical question is something like: what do we have to do with our bodies playing these instruments and singing in order to get their bodies moving, bobbing their heads, snapping their fingers, up from their tables and dancing? The mystery: how do people and musicking become consubstantial, a communion, communitas , a sacrament, the music inside the people and the people inside the music? In Music Grooves (Keil and Feld 1994) and in the “Special Issue: Participatory Discrepancies” of Ethnomusicology (Vol. 39, No. 1, Winter 1995, articles by Keil, Progler, Alen, and 11 respondents) we have tried to persuade ethnomusicologists and other potentially interested scholars (in fields as diverse as political rhetoric, sermonizing, comedy-timing, sex-therapy, sports psychology, play, etc.) that in asking these two questions and in this wording of grooves, -
Automatic Dastgah Recognition Using Markov Models
Automatic Dastgah Recognition Using Markov Models Luciano Ciamarone1, Baris Bozkurt2, and Xavier Serra2 1 Independent researcher 2 Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona, Spain [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. This work focuses on automatic Dastgah recognition of mono- phonic audio recordings of Iranian music using Markov Models. We present an automatic recognition system that models the sequence of intervals computed from quantized pitch data (estimated from audio) with Markov processes. Classification of an audio file is performed by finding the closest match between the Markov matrix of the file and the (template) matrices computed from the database for each Dastgah. Ap- plying a leave-one-out evaluation strategy on a dataset comprised of 73 files, an accuracy of 0.986 has been observed for one of the four tested distance calculation methods. Keywords: mode recognition, dastgah recognition, iranian music 1 Introduction The presented study represents the first attempt in applying Markov Model to a non-western musical mode recognition task. The proposed approach focuses on Persian musical modes which are called Dastgah. Several different approaches to the same task have already been documented. In 2011 Abdoli [3] achieved an overall accuracy of 0.85 on a 5 Dastgahs classification task by computing similarity measures between Interval Type 2 Fuzzy Sets. In 2016 Heydarian [5] compared the performances of different methods including chroma features, spectral average, pitch histograms and the use of symbolic data. He reported an accuracy of 0.9 using spectral average and Manhattan metric as a distance cal- culation method between a signal and a set of templates. -
In Remembrance of Our Colleague Paul Rabinow Aihwa Ong, April 9, 2021
In Remembrance of Our Colleague Paul Rabinow Aihwa Ong, April 9, 2021 Over the course of a highly productive and wide-ranging career, Paul Rabinow left a permanent mark of distinction on our department. To anthropologists the world over, his name was synonymous with Berkeley Anthropology. Although he never held office beyond a brief stint as department chair, Rabinow was well respected across campus. He made anthropological inquiry critically relevant to disciplines such as French Studies, Philosophy, English, Urban Studies, History and the Biological Sciences. His writings on the formation of modern subjectivity and its ethical quandaries, the predicament of contemporary times and re-engineering of life make a distinctive contribution to the human sciences. Paul attended the University of Chicago and was mentored by Clifford Geertz. But in the midst of the intensification of the Vietnam War, Paul blazed his own trail. What can Anthropology contribute besides the study of diverse cultures? Shouldn't anthropology pose philosophical questions about what it means to be human, in these exceptional times? Viewing himself as a rooted cosmopolitan, Rabinow brought a new sophistication and energy to anthropological inquiry that participates in broad conversations about contemporary modes of living and life forms. Reflections on Fieldwork Paul's Reflections on Fieldwork in Morocco -- published in 1977, the year he was hired by Berkeley -- triggered a minor earthquake in Anthropology. As an unprecedented enactment of the distinct vicissitudes of field research, the book raised uncomfortable questions about the making of ethnographic knowledge. Rabinow argues that our observations emerge from the dialogic interaction between informant and anthropologist. -
Song, State, Sawa Music and Political Radio Between the US and Syria
Song, State, Sawa Music and Political Radio between the US and Syria Beau Bothwell Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 Beau Bothwell All rights reserved ABSTRACT Song, State, Sawa: Music and Political Radio between the US and Syria Beau Bothwell This dissertation is a study of popular music and state-controlled radio broadcasting in the Arabic-speaking world, focusing on Syria and the Syrian radioscape, and a set of American stations named Radio Sawa. I examine American and Syrian politically directed broadcasts as multi-faceted objects around which broadcasters and listeners often differ not only in goals, operating assumptions, and political beliefs, but also in how they fundamentally conceptualize the practice of listening to the radio. Beginning with the history of international broadcasting in the Middle East, I analyze the institutional theories under which music is employed as a tool of American and Syrian policy, the imagined youths to whom the musical messages are addressed, and the actual sonic content tasked with political persuasion. At the reception side of the broadcaster-listener interaction, this dissertation addresses the auditory practices, histories of radio, and theories of music through which listeners in the sonic environment of Damascus, Syria create locally relevant meaning out of music and radio. Drawing on theories of listening and communication developed in historical musicology and ethnomusicology, science and technology studies, and recent transnational ethnographic and media studies, as well as on theories of listening developed in the Arabic public discourse about popular music, my dissertation outlines the intersection of the hypothetical listeners defined by the US and Syrian governments in their efforts to use music for political ends, and the actual people who turn on the radio to hear the music. -

Classical musicology, and it’s way of emphasizing music by such disciplines as historical musicology and music analysis. For that explain how sociology of music is understood, and how it is connected to critical historiographic and analytical rather than sociological theory, criticism or aesthetic autonomy. I cite some of the musicologists that wrote approaches to research, is the reason why sociomusicology was about doing analysis in context and broadening the research of musicology (e.g. Jim regarded as a small subdiscipline for a long time. But the Samson, Joseph Kerman). I also present examples of the inclusion of sociology of music into historical musicology and music analysis – the approach of Richard increasing popularity of ethnomusicology and new musicology Taruskin in and Suzanne Cusick. The aim was to clarify some of the recent changes in (as well as the emergence of interdisciplinary field of cultural writing about music, that seem to be closer today to cultural studies than classical studies), created a situation in which sociomusicology is not only musicology.
