Exploring Music Visualization Using MIDI and Java
No full textFaculty adviser: Dr. John CarlisSheet music has been used to represent a musical piece. One problem with sheet music is its difficulty in displaying a wide range of pitches on a single staff. Also, to some, it is unclear what the relationship is between two notes at a glance. Most importantly, sheet music has difficulty illustrating volume changes, and it does not allow for a continuum of pitches.
This research explored displaying notes on a spiral instead of a staff. The spiral uses spokes to represent common tones, and the notes in the music are represented as collections of cylinders along a time axis perpendicular to the spiral [Belifuss et al., 2003].
A three-dimensional musical display would be difficult to use effectively when read from a page. Computers, though, can represent such a structure usefully. Hence, we tried to develop a working piece of software based on the spiral display.This research was supported by the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP).Fox, Nathan; Carlis, John.

Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
