Instrumentality in Electronic Music
No full textThere is nothing intrinsically musical about a laptop computer, but there has in the past two decades been a rise in popularity of using portable computers to perform music. Computers powerful enough to create music were once exclusive to Universities and music studios. Now computers are as accessible to people as traditional instruments and have fully opened the world of electronic music to the non-musician through the use of graphic interfaces.
This commentary will discuss the relationship between instrumentality and the performance and
composition of electronic music by examining traditional methods of instrumental performance and the relatively modern idea of performing live with a laptop computer. The issue of imperfection will be discussed and how certain ‘errors’ have become widely acceptable even to the point where
whole genres have arisen entirely from their creation. I will look at the way glitch music began as a genre entirely reliant on the computer for its creation into one that has embraced traditional instrumentation and the idea of performance.
There will be a comparison of the compositional styles of Alva Noto's earlier solo work and his
more recent collaborations, in particular with the Ensemble Modern and the formally trained pianist and composer Ryuichi Sakamoto. The aim of this is to examine whether the inclusion of
instruments or notions of instrumentality in the compositional process has in some way changed
Alva Noto’s approach to composing from a visually led (cymatic) process to one that is more
sonically led. This comparison is used as a case study to inform my own work as some works in the
portfolio set out deliberately to explore traditional instrumental playing techniques, whereas others deal with virtuosity within the software environment of Ableton Live
Desempeño Docente Y Rendimiento Académico De Los Alumnos Del Instituto De Educación Superior Tecnológico Público Felipe Alva Y Alva, Contumazá, 2019
No full textLa investigación se propone en la realidad del Instituto de educación superior tecnológico
público Felipe Alva y Alva, provincia de Contumazá departamento de Cajamarca que
presenta características similares a las de universidades e institutos de educación superior
donde forman bachilleres en Administración de empresas, Técnico en farmacia y
Construcción civil. Esta investigación tiene una trascendencia significativa, porque, tiene
como objeto primordial describir si existe relación entre el desempeño docente y el
rendimiento académico da los alumnos de la institución, al determinarse el desempeño
pedagógico del profesor de pregrado en el instituto, se tomaran decisiones que propensen a
enriquecer su oportuno desempeño, coincidencia que reincide directamente en el desarrollo
de la instrucción y aprendizaje y esto debería dar inicio a que este procedimiento mejore y
por consiguiente docente tendrá un desempeño deseable que dará lugar a que todos los
estudiantes se beneficien. La indagación actual cuenta con una orientación cualitativa,
debido a que se procesó información de datos numéricos para analizar y cuantificar a partir
de instrumentos de observación que se aplicaron a la población estudiantil que estuvo
constituida por 75 alumnos de primer, tercer y quinto ciclo encontrándose como resultado
general determinado por el coeficiente de Rho Spearman = ,165; con un p de valor =,157 se
obtuvo una correlación positiva de baja magnitud, por cuanto, se rechazó la hipótesis nula y
se admitió la hipótesis alternativa. Además, se determinó un porcentaje del 56,0 % para el
nivel de excelente de los docentes y de 61,3 % para el nivel de bueno. Concluyendo que no
se encontró correlación entre el desempeño docente y el rendimiento académico de los
estudiantes del instituto de educación superior tecnológico Felipe Alva y Alva, 2019

The Disarmament Story : On Alva Myrdal's Study <em>The Game of Disarmament</em> (1976)
No full textHedvig Ekerwald takes a close look at Alva Myrdal's masterpiece The Game of Disarmament: How the United States and Russia Run the Arms Race, underscoring how relevant the book is still today, almost fifty years after its publication. She exposes some of the lingering vulnerabilities of Europe as a “battlefield” to ban nuclear weapons, often caught in the quagmire of an incessant arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union. Considering what is happening in Europe today—the war in Ukraine, and the tensions between NATO and Russia—this seems almost like a nightmarish case of déjà vu. Of note, Dr. Ekerwald also pays close attention to the risks stemming from conventional, as well as biological and chemical weapons. Yet again, these risks are associated with warfare and conflict, and are as pertinent today as they were fifty years ago at the height of the Cold War.</p

”Forskningen om individ och samhälle måste internationaliseras” : Alva Myrdals samhällsvetenskapliga internationalism 1950–1955
No full textEarly post-World War II international social science was marked by paradoxical tendencies. On the one hand it experienced a rapid expansion underblown by a new optimistic internationalism. On the other hand, many of the initiatives taken were increasingly affected by emerging Cold War tensions. Embedded in these cross-currents of internationalism and geopolitics, UNESCO’s Department of Social Sciences (SSD) played a key role. The aim of this article is to analyze Alva Myrdal’s social scientific internationalism during her term as Director of UNESCO’s SSD, 1950–1955, in the context of other contemporary ideas on international social science. Empirically centred around fifteen key texts by Myrdal, the article argues: first, that a relatively distinct core in Myrdal’s view on international social science can be discerned; second, that her social scientific internationalism by large were in line with the previous and dominating views within UNESCO’s SSD, but also that Myrdal introduced and advocated a more interdisciplinary, applied and polycentric approach to international social science; third, that some discrete but important displacements can be discerned – in spite of the short period – over time.</p
