  • The survey questions and interview responses strongly suggest that emerging music/technology has had a measurable impact on their careers as musicians and composers.  Revenue generation aside, technology has made them more self-sufficient, given them the ability to connect directly with fans and peers, and leveled the playing field in general.

Robotic Third Arm Turns Drummers Into Beat Machines | Popular Science - 2 views

  • This robot drum arm comes from Georgia Tech, and was originally designed as a way to help a drummer who had lost an arm.
  • Here, the drum arm augments an existing drummer. While the user in question is wearing a headband with sensors, that part of the project isn’t ready yet. Instead, the robot arm is drumming of its own accord, with some awareness of what the human is doing. It listens, and it plays along.
  • The robotic arm is smart for a few reasons. First, it knows what to play by listening to the music in the room. It improvises based on the beat and rhythm. For instance, if the musician plays slowly, the arm slows the tempo. If the drummer speeds up, it plays faster. Another aspect of its intelligence is knowing where it’s located at all times, where the drums are, and the direction and proximity of the human arms. When the robot approaches an instrument, it uses built-in accelerometers to sense the distance and proximity. On-board motors make sure the stick is always parallel to the playing surface, allowing it to rise, lower or twist to ensure solid contact with the drum or cymbal. The arm moves naturally with intuitive gestures because it was programmed using human motion capture technology.

    Mechanic arm allows drummers to augment their playing. The arm's technology allows the arm to tune into what the human drummer is doing and follow along. Interesting technology that perhaps could find its way into other areas of music (the three handed piano player, or allowing people with one arm/hand to play instruments formerly difficult to play).

  • Nashville-based Artiphon has created an electronic instrument that beats them all for one reason: It can become them all.
  • the Instrument 1’s endless compatibility and customization means it can reproduce the sounds of a bongo, an oboe, a hurdy gurdy, a lur, even a nyckelharpa. Even crazier, it can create all those sounds at the same time by assigning each of its digital strings to a different instrument.
  • The incredible device can be plugged into almost any computer or Ap
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • The musician can perform hammer-ons and pull-offs, turn on fret-less play, slide, create vibrato, and even use an iPhone like a bow(!).

    Amazing new instrument that can be strummed, bowed, plucked and that can mimic the sounds of many instruments, even at once.

This is Your Brain on Music: The Science of a Human Obsession - 1 views

    Daniel Levitin is the Author of "This is Your Brain on Music: The Science of a Human Obsession". He is a musician and neuroscientist and this post is him giving a talk about his research and book at Microsoft Research. One of his main premises from his research is that music may be more fundamental to humans than language.
  • Susan Miville on 29 Mar 13
     
    This is a very riveting talk. I didn't come away with the idea that music might be more fundamental to humans than language, but that music is fundamental, as is language, and that each of us is a musical expert, if not expert performers!
  • Susan Miville on 30 Mar 13
     
    I have continued thinking about this topic...Levitin also intimated that musical capacity is similar to language acquisition in that there is a window of time in which that capacity needs to be triggered in order for fluency in music to be attained. The window for language acquisition is birth to puberty. If your language capacity is not triggered within this time frame, you can't learn to speak as we understand speech. I wonder if this is really true of musical capacity...perhaps, but perhaps not in the way that it is of language. Of course they massive amounts of research have been applied to the question of language.

    There are orchestras being formed, mainly by students, to perform video game music, and they collaborate with professional orchestras i. Also, video game makers are turning to professional composers and musicians for musical accompaniment so that music for video games is becoming more symphonic. However, the performances with orchestras are not interactive, which seems to me to defeat the purpose.

    The GUI has been redesigned with a great new look and many time-saving enhancements! The Toolbars and Song Title Area have been redone, and the chord sheet now has a "Real" looking handwritten font for chords. We've added UserTracks. Now you can make your own RealTracks to add to your song.

    I think this is kind of cool tool, it gives a new look to music and is a way to customize your work a little. Saves time.

    I purchased this software several years ago and found it interesting. The RealTracks sounded clean and followed my chord and time changes as good as could be as expected for a computer program. Sadly, my computer was not powerful enough to run the program without it jamming/freezing/lagging. I think with a proper computer system, a lot of time, and some creativity you could produce a pretty professional backing track for gigging out or creating your own studio tracks without the help of other musicians.
