Networking concert halls, musicians, and interactive textiles: Interwoven Sound Spaces
No full textInterwoven Sound Spaces is an interdisciplinary project which brought together telematic music performance, interactive textiles, interaction design, and artistic research. A team of researchers collaborated with two professional contemporary music ensembles based in Berlin, Germany, and Piteå, Sweden, and four composers, with the aim of creating a telematic distributed concert taking place simultaneously in two concert halls and online. Central to the project was the development of interactive textiles capable of sensing the musicians’ movements while playing acoustic instruments, and generating data the composers used in their works. Musicians, instruments, textiles, sounds, halls, and data formed a network of entities and agencies that was reconfigured for each piece, showing how networked music practice enables distinctive musicking techniques. We describe each part of the project and report on a research interview conducted with one of the composers for the purpose of analysing the creative approaches she adopted for composing her piece.Validerad;2024;Nivå 2;2024-05-21 (joosat);Full text license: CC BY;Funder: Kulturstiftung des Bundes (German Federal Cultural Foundation); Programme for Digital Interactions [grant number DIV.0725]; Einstein Center Digital Future;</p
Reconciliation [Elektronisk resurs]
No full textThis global hyperorgan performance is a site-specific exploration, connecting sonic traces, archive recordings, interviews and field recordings to memory of place. The places share historical moments of division, and of reconciliation. Each location holds one or more pipe organs, which can be controlled remotely. In the creation of the piece, dividing the quartet in two duos is a fundamental building block. While the duos develop individual materials, the composition also explores how they can be united. One of the connecting points is the Fantasia in c-minor BWV 562 by J.S. Bach, which provides the basic material for the interaction with the pipe organs. The TCP/Indeterminate Place quartet (also known as TCP/IP: Robert Ek, Stefan Östersjö, Mattias Petersson, and Federico Visi) will perform a telematic concert with networked hyperorgans from two wonderful locations in Berlin and Amsterdam on June 6, 2024. The quartet will split in two: Stefan and Mattias will be in Amsterdam at the Orgelpark for the International Orgelpark Symposium, and Robert and Federico will be at the Kapelle der Versöhnung (Chapel of Reconciliation) in Berlin. Both places house beautiful pipe organs that can be remotely controlled. The quartet will interact with them in several ways, none of which involve playing a conventional keyboard. We will network the two locations so that high-quality audio and data can be exchanged in real time, making it possible for us to perform together while in two different places. This "double duo" networked concert is a special event that is part of a research project conducted by the GEMM))) (Gesture Embodiment and Machines in Music) research cluster at Luleå University of Technology and funded by the Swedish Research Council. </p
The Sophtar: a networkable feedback string instrument with embedded machine learning
No full textThe Sophtar is a tabletop string instrument with an embedded system for digital signal processing, networking, and machine learning. It features a pressure-sensitive fretted neck, two sound boxes, and controlled feedback capabilities by means of bespoke interface elements. The design of the instrument is informed by my practice with hyperorgan interaction in networked music performance. I discuss the motivations behind the development of the instrument and describe its structure, interface elements, and the hyperorgan and sound synthesis interactions approaches it implements. Finally, I reflect on the affordances of the Sophtar and the differences and similarities with other instruments and outline future developments and uses.Fulltext license: CC BY</p

Methods and Technologies for the Analysis and Interactive Use of Body Movements in Instrumental Music Performance
No full textA constantly growing corpus of interdisciplinary studies support the idea that music is a complex multimodal medium that is experienced not only by means of sounds but also through body movement. From this perspective, musical instruments can be seen as technological objects coupled with a repertoire of performance gestures. This repertoire is part of an ecological knowledge shared by musicians and listeners alike. It is part of the engine that guides musical experience and has a considerable expressive potential. This thesis explores technical and conceptual issues related to the analysis and creative use of music-related body movements in instrumental music performance. The complexity of this subject required an interdisciplinary approach, which includes the review of multiple theoretical accounts, quantitative and qualitative analysis of data collected in motion capture laboratories, the development and implementation of technologies for the interpretation and interactive use of motion data, and the creation of short musical pieces that actively employ the movement of the performers as an expressive musical feature. The theoretical framework is informed by embodied and enactive accounts of music cognition as well as by systematic studies of music-related movement and expressive music performance. The assumption that the movements of a musician are part of a shared knowledge is empirically explored through an experiment aimed at analysing the motion capture data of a violinist performing a selection of short musical excerpts. A group of subjects with no prior experience playing the violin is then asked to mime a performance following the audio excerpts recorded by the violinist. Motion data is recorded, analysed, and compared with the expert’s data. This is done both quantitatively through data analysis xii as well as qualitatively by relating the motion data to other high-level features and structures of the musical excerpts. Solutions to issues regarding capturing and storing movement data and its use in real-time scenarios are proposed. For the interactive use of motion-sensing technologies in music performance, various wearable sensors have been employed, along with different approaches for mapping control data to sound synthesis and signal processing parameters. In particular, novel approaches for the extraction of meaningful features from raw sensor data and the use of machine learning techniques for mapping movement to live electronics are described. To complete the framework, an essential element of this research project is the com- position and performance of études that explore the creative use of body movement in instrumental music from a Practice-as-Research perspective. This works as a test bed for the proposed concepts and techniques. Mapping concepts and technologies are challenged in a scenario constrained by the use of musical instruments, and different mapping ap- proaches are implemented and compared. In addition, techniques for notating movement in the score, and the impact of interactive motion sensor systems in instrumental music practice from the performer’s perspective are discussed. Finally, the chapter concluding the part of the thesis dedicated to practical implementations describes a novel method for mapping movement data to sound synthesis. This technique is based on the analysis of multimodal motion data collected from multiple subjects and its design draws from the theoretical, analytical, and practical works described throughout the dissertation. Overall, the parts and the diverse approaches that constitute this thesis work in synergy, contributing to the ongoing discourses on the study of musical gestures and the design of interactive music systems from multiple angles
THE RELIGION-DEVELOPMENT DOMAIN OF WAHANA VISI INDONESIA CONCERNING CHILD EDUCATION IN ALOR – EAST NUSA TENGGARA
No full textThis study tries to explain the role of faith-based organizations in achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Indonesia by showing the role of Wahana Visi Indonesia in education. Claiming themselves as Christian Faith-Based Organization that works according to the Christian Faith (Iman Kristen), WVI has huge impact on the sustainable development in Indonesia, including the education. By focusing this study to the case of Wahana Visi Indonesia (WVI), author aims to explain profoundly the effect religious actor has in development, particularly child education in Alor – East Nusa Tenggara. This study uses qualitative methods and literature study as an approach, in which authors did one-on-one interview as data collection technique, and examine through critical analysis to develop initial understanding in specified areas: religion and development and education. On the ground of major role of WVI as faith-based organization in the issue of SDGs, the author will discuss it accordingly in two main analysis as follows, the nexus of faith and development in Wahana Visi Indonesia in education field. Secondly, the author will examine the encounter and engagement that happened between religious actors (national and international), International Organizations, religious-affiliated schools and churches to understand how FBO operates in international development to achieve more effective and efficient in developing advocacy within religious-civil-society in Indonesia. Final result showed that religious is transformational, seen from the dynamic in three levels (macro-level, meso-level, micro-level) which outlined the progress of Wahana Visi Indonesia in intensifying child education in Alor – East Nusa Tenggara. The study concludes that Wahana Visi Indonesia as Faith-Based Organizations has successfully aligned ‘Christian Faith’ without the aim of proselytization in the realm of Child Education, as it works as catalyst of development for which it has influenced people-centered development regarding child education. It proves that WVI is catalyst to development, and study case of Alor – East Nusa Tenggara is an evidence how ‘faith’, ‘dialogue’ and ‘networks in religion-development domain’ has successfully made significant contribution in improving child education
