Characterizing Noise and Harmonicity: The Structural Function of Contrasting Sonic Components in Electronic Composition

Dribus, John Alexander 05 1900 (has links)
This dissertation examines the role of noise in shaping the form of several recent musical compositions. This study demonstrates how the contrast of noisy sounds and harmonic sounds can impact the structure of compositions. Depending on context, however, the specific use and function of noise can vary substantially from one work to the next. The first portion of this paper describes methods for quantifying noise content using FFT analysis procedures. A number of tests on instrumental and synthetic sound sources are described in order to demonstrate how the analysis system may react to certain sounds. The second part of this document consists of several analyses of whole musical works. Works for acoustic instruments are examined first, followed by works for electronic media. During these analyses, it becomes clear that while the use of noise in each work is based largely upon context, some common patterns do exist across different works. The final portion of the paper examines an original work which was written with the function of noise specifically in mind. The original work is put through the same analysis procedures as works seen earlier in the paper, and some conclusions are drawn regarding both the possibilities and limitations of noise analysis as a compositional tool.

A critical analysis and study of the problems of intonation in the band ensemble

Bartlett, Harold H. 01 January 1958 (has links) (PDF)
The purpose of this treatise is not so much to discover heretofore unknown facts through original research; however, certain research is planned to assist in deleting the obvious handicaps one might encounter from using faulty instruments or mouthpieces, but rather to assemble under one cover practical data that may be of value in improving intonation in the band ensemble. Various definitions of terms will be established, purposes determined, opinion and methods of teachers evaluated, conclusions reached, and highlights of other persons’ experiments that may bear upon the subject will be presented.

Math, music, and membranes: A historical survey of the question "can one hear the shape of a drum"?

McCorkle, Tricia Dawn 01 January 2005 (has links)
In 1966 Mark Kac posed an interesting question regarding vibrating membranes and the sounds they make. His article entitled "Can One Hear the Shape of a Drum?", which appeared in The American Mathematical Monthly, generated much interest and scholarly debate. The evolution of Kac's intriguing question will be the subject of this project.

Matemática e música e o ensino de funções trigonométricas

Depizoli, Carlos Antonio 10 July 2015 (has links)
CAPES / Utilizando-se da relação entre a Matemática e a Física e tendo a música como fonte de recursos associados a conceitos matemáticos, este trabalho objetiva contribuir com o desenvolvimento de habilidades nos estudantes na aprendizagem de conteúdos matemáticos como as funções trigonométricas. Conceitos importantes relacionados à acústica são apresentados, mostrando a importância da Série de Fourier Contínua no desenvolvimento de sintetizadores analógicos aditivos e seu uso no ensino de trigonometria. / Using the relationship between Mathematics and Physics and having music as a source of features associated with mathematical concepts, this work aims to contribute to the development of skills in students who are learning mathematical subjects such as trigonometric functions. Important concepts related to acoustics are presented, showing the importance of Continuous Fourier Series (CFS) in the development of Additive Synthesizer and its use in trigonometry.

A física da música e a pluralidade didática / Physics of music and the didactic plurality

Lerias, Washington Roberto 19 August 2016 (has links)
Acompanha: Encarte do produto educacional: a física da música e a pluralidade didática / CAPES / Esta dissertação visa apresentar uma proposta de sequência didática para explorar significativamente conteúdos de ondulatória, acústica e conteúdos relacionados à sua compreensão, utilizando elementos da música como agente motivacional ao aprendizado de física, bem como uma gama de recursos didáticos com o objetivo de oferecer uma pluralidade didática adaptada a partir dos fundamentos da pluralidade metodológica de Paul Feyerabend. Estes recursos são desde quadro giz, a inventos, instrumentos musicais, experimentos, softwares, simuladores, imagens, animações, videoaulas, músicas, poesias e alguns aspectos epistemológicos da física da música. / This thesis aims to present a proposal for didactic sequence to significantly explore waves, acoustics and related content to their understanding, using elements of music as a motivational agent to the physics learning, as well as a range of instructional resources with the aim of offering a didactic plurality it was adapted from the fundamentals of methodological plurality of Paul Feyerabend. These features are since chalk framework, to inventions, musical instruments, experiments, softwares, simulators, images, animations, video lessons, songs, poetry and some epistemological aspects of the physics of music.
