1	Fiascos Religion : -en studie om religionen i Lupe Fiascos Musik Mugenyi, Moses January 2015 (has links) Religion and music are two cultural entities that have been closely related over time (Bossius, Harris & Häger 2010:1). To investigate this close relationship the author of this paper has chosen to use two theories. The first is the secularization theory as it is presented by James A. Beckford in his book Social Theory & Religion (2003), which expresses the idea that religion will become less visible in a society as it evolves and progresses. The second theory is based on music and is brought forth by Theodor A. Adorno in his paper On Popular Music (2008); it states that popular music is highly standardized and inevitably inferior to “Serious” music. The two theories will be used in researching and trying to understand how religion and music are interrelated to each other in Fiasco’s music and to investigate if the artist uses private or public religion in his music, furthermore the standardization theory will be used to see if his music and message are standardized. The aim of this paper is use the aforementioned theories by James A. Beckford and Theodor A. Adorno and see how they work in cohesion with Lupe Fiasco.The conclusion of this paper is that religion is influential and relevant in Lupe Fiascos music. In all his songs that have been released on CD: s, a total of 54 songs; 42 of these songs contained a religious word or phrase. This shows that the secularization theory, which stated that religion, would diminish and disappear from the public sphere the more modern a society got is not the case within the investigated artist and his music. The artists’ use of religion was a mix between public and private religion depending on the theme and message of the song. The second theory, which stated that popular music is standardized, could be verified, the message in Lupe Fiascos music is not new and neither it the music that he makes use of, even though the artist tries to give it a new sound. All music is standardized within its own genre and therefore will sound similar/standardized for one who is uninitiated within the different genres.

3	Implementation and quantitative analysis of a real-time sound architecture Voigt, Michael 16 April 2009 (has links) (PDF) Several available free software audio solutions were analyzed, and Jackdmp—a C++ reimplementation of the renowned JACK Audio Connection Kit—was selected as the most appropriate solution for a real-time audio architecture on DROPS. The JACK sound architecture provides the lowest processing latency possible on a desktop computer for a given set of sound card parameters. It reduces the latency jitter caused by software to zero and synchronizes streams at sample accuracy. A real-time admission scheme for JACK clients is proposed. The execution time of different typical JACK clients was analyzed with measurements to validate the assumptions the proposal is based on, but also to gain further knowledge about their timing behavior. The measurements showed that the condition set by Paul Davis—the time to process a client must be a linear function of the buffer size—holds for all tested clients. Jackdmp was ported to DROPS. The developed design of the port and its implementation is documented here. Measurements showed that—although the real-time performance of the Linux kernel is continuously being improved in the mainline and on special external branches—DROPS can provide a signaling latency that is two times lower on average than the values that can be achieved on the same machine running with a low latency patched Linux kernel. Thus, it can be stated that DROPS is well-suited for real-time audio processing and that the pursued path to use it as the foundation of a truly real-time capable audio workstation should be followed. / Wenn man heute digitale Audiotechnik zum Aufnehmen oder Abmischen von Musik oder anderen Audiodaten verwenden möchte, steht man vor der Wahl, entweder auf eine sehr spezialisierte Hardwarelösung zurückzugreifen oder aber sich eines gewöhnlichen Desktopsystems mit entsprechender Audiosoftware zu bedienen. Der Vorteil eines Desktopsystems ist neben seinem deutlich niedrigeren Preis vor allem die Flexibilität. Bezüglich seines Echtzeitverhaltens bietet ein Computer mit einem Standard-Desktop-Betriebssystem aber bei weitem nicht dieselbe Verlässlichkeit einer spezialisierten Hardwarelösung oder analoger Technik. Die Architektur von DROPS --- mit dem echtzeitfähigen Fiasco- Mikrokern auf der einen Seite sowie der Unterstützung von Legacy-Anwendungen durch L4Linux auf der anderen Seite --- birgt die Hoffnung, die Vorteile von den beiden eben beschriebenen Welten auf einem System mit DROPS kombinieren zu können. Die Motivation meiner Arbeit war es, für dieses langfristige Ziel einen ersten Grundstein zu legen. Dazu war es meine Aufgabe, verschiedene Open-Source- Lösungen hinsichtlich ihrer Eignung als Echtzeit-Audioarchitektur für DROPS zu analysieren und die am besten geeignete auf L4Env zu portieren. Meine Wahl fiel dabei auf das in der Linux-Audio-Szene wohlbekannte Jack Audio Connection Kit (JACK). Desweiteren konnte ich in der Arbeit untersuchen, wie sich die JACK Audioarchitektur in ein globales Echtzeit-Scheduling --- z.B. eines von DROPS --- einbetten ließe, und schlage eine generische Methode dafür vor.
