Issues of live-ness in fragile.flicker.fragment
No full textThis article is concerned with issues of perceived live-ness in fragile.flicker.fragment (2010), an electroacoustic suite in nine movements composed by the author. The role and recording of instrumental sounds is discussed with reference to Bridger's metaphoric/metonymic perception of sounds in electroacoustic music and Dellaira's three modes of recording. The final section situates our perception of the composition within an understanding of Richard Allen's notion of cinematic projective illusion
[60]Project: Conception, Composing and Archiving
No full textThe [60]Project was composed by one of the authors in 2008 in response to a commission from the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival to celebrate 60 years of musique concrète using sound contributions from over 60 of the worlds leading sound artists. The paper discusses the composition in the context of other related works such as Dhomont's Frankenstein Symphony (1997) and the open electronic works of Pietro Grossi. The paper also considers issues of authorship. The writings of writers such as Foucault are referenced in order to examine the work-composer relationship. The archiving methodology of the [60] project by INA-GRM is also discussed

No full textMeSH term explosion and author rank improve expert recommendations
No full textInformation overload is an often-cited phenomenon that reduces the productivity, efficiency and efficacy of scientists. One challenge for scientists is to find appropriate collaborators in their research. The literature describes various solutions to the problem of expertise location, but most current approaches do not appear to be very suitable for expert recommendations in biomedical research. In this study, we present the development and initial evaluation of a vector space model-based algorithm to calculate researcher similarity using four inputs: 1) MeSH terms of publications; 2) MeSH terms and author rank; 3) exploded MeSH terms; and 4) exploded MeSH terms and author rank. We developed and evaluated the algorithm using a data set of 17,525 authors and their 22,542 papers. On average, our algorithms correctly predicted 2.5 of the top 5/10 coauthors of individual scientists. Exploded MeSH and author rank outperformed all other algorithms in accuracy, followed closely by MeSH and author rank. Our results show that the accuracy of MeSH term-based matching can be enhanced with other metadata such as author rank

Practice led research into stream-form composition methods, freeassociation, and synaesthesia in audio/visual compostion.
No full text.haul / S is a portfolio of audio/visual works, all with a common start point, synaesthesia: a
powerful and highly personal phenomenon. In this portfolio I examine my own synaesthetic perceptions of sound and image, and how they direct my compositional decisions and aesthetic tastes. These perceptions, and the resulting compositions, are compared to the experiences of synaesthete composers, and their goals in composing from such an abstract source material, as well as synaesthetes not engaged in musical
endeavours. In doing so, I speculate how the act of making from such personal, abstract, and ultimately indescribable and unsharable experiences affects an audience’s reception
of the pieces produced. As such, I produce works that are as close to being about nothing as I could posit: pieces that feature no defined subject, theme, or narrative, outside of their constituent parts. This nothingness, or lack of concrete reference is speculative, aiming to open discussion on perception and synaesthesia (which I do not consider a special condition only experienced by few), and strives to inform further work actively influenced by this composer/audience feedback loop.
The compositions in this portfolio are also the result of practice-led research into stream
form composition methods, and examinations of free-association in audio/visual composition. The aim of this research is to open discussion on intuitive composition practices, and composers’ aesthetic judgments and decisions when producing a work. It also examines synaesthesia as a compositional tool, as a means of suggesting further research in a field which is still poorly understood
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
