61	The relationship between self-efficacy and self-regulated behaviour within a secondary school music technology based creative learning environment. Merrick, Bradley Maxwell, School of Music & Music Education, UNSW January 2006 (has links) This study employed the theoretical framework of Albert Bandura???s social cognitive theory, to investigate how differing levels of self-efficacy impact on both the type and degree of self-regulatory behaviour employed by the students when composing music in a high school music program. The literature review revealed an abundance of related research suggesting a strong relationship between self-efficacy and self-regulated behaviour in the ???core??? academic domains of education. In contrast, there was no specific research found that had examined self-efficacy and self-regulation in the context of students composing music. An independent school in Sydney served as the research site, with sixty-eight students of varied year levels and musical experience participating in the study. Students used stand alone computers, the software ???Cubase??? and MIDI keyboards as they completed a task that involved creating an original piece of music in a genre of their own choice, over a series of four composition sessions. A mixed methodology was employed to determine if the influence of the students??? self-efficacy beliefs upon their self-regulation in a creative activity were consistent with existing research. Data were collected using a mixture of weekly measures and self-report scales, combined with a variety of questionnaires, logs, tally sheets and interviews. Eight variables, including the self-regulatory sub-processes of goal setting-strategic planning, intrinsic motivation, goal orientation, task expectation, time on task, task completion, monitoring were analysed together with an additional variable, defined as creative ability, to determine if evidence could be found of a relationship between self-efficacy and these specific behaviours while composing. The results suggest that the pre-task (Week 1) measure of self-efficacy was closely associated with the students??? use of the eight self-regulatory dimensions as well as their perceived level of creative ability. Weekly self-efficacy measures also suggested that students??? employ self-regulated sub-processes proportionally to their respective levels of self-efficacy. Importantly, the more efficacious students employed a wider and more sophisticated repertoire of self-regulated behaviour when composing in contrast to the less efficacious students. Self-efficacy was also identified as a key factor amongst students who were initially identified as being naive self-regulators, but who through the duration of the task, modified their behaviour to become more skilful self-regulators. Throughout the study, the consistent level of interaction between self-efficacy and the use of self-regulated behaviours were aligned with findings in the core ???academic??? disciplines of education. social cognitive theory self-efficacy self-regulation secondary school music music technology MIDI creativity composition education strategic planning goal setting intrinsic motivation goal orientation task expectation time on task task completion monitoring self-reflection sequencer computers
62	Digitizing North Indian music: preservation and extension using multimodal sensor systems, machine learning and robotics Kapur, Ajay 24 August 2007 (has links) This dissertation describes how state of the art computer music technology can be used to digitize, analyze, preserve and extend North Indian classical music performance. Custom built controllers, influenced by the Human Computer Interaction (HCI) community, serve as new interfaces to gather musical gestures from a performing artist. Designs on how to modify a Tabla, Dholak, and Sitar with sensors and electronics are described. Experiments using wearable sensors to capture ancillary gestures of a human performer are also included. A twelve-armed solenoid-based robotic drummer was built to perform on a variety of traditional percussion instruments from around India. The dissertation also describes experimentation on interfacing a human sitar performer with the robotic drummer. Experiments include automatic tempo tracking and accompaniment methods. A framework is described for digitally transcribing performances of masters using custom designed hardware and software to aid in preservation. This work draws on knowledge from many disciplines including: music, computer science, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering and psychology. The goal is to set a paradigm on how to use technology to aid in the preservation of traditional art and culture. musical robotics indian music music technology artificial intelligence machine learning multimodal sensor systems

64	Återbruk och återgivning : Om att finna det nya i det gamla och det imaginära ur det materiella Hillborg, Linus January 2021 (has links) Detta arbete består av ett antal verk skapade med olika återbrukade teknologier och de kompositionsmetoder som uppstår till följd av deras begränsningar, samt en text som behandlar verken utifrån några definitioner av mediearkeologisk konstnärlig praktik som föreslagits av medieteoretikern Jussi Parikka. Verken – Orphan Works, Magelungsverket och Temporal Canons: No. 1 - 3 – utgör den konstnärliga delen av arbetet. Texten tar även upp tankar om bl.a. mitt eget användande av teknik och betydelsen det haft för mitt skapande, att finna det suggestiva genom att utforska det materiella i skapandet, sociala och ekologiska aspekter av automatisering och moderna musikteknologier, olika nivåer av återbruk i konstnärligt syfte, alternativa historier och imaginära medier, konstverks livslängd under snabb teknikutveckling samt ljudåtergivning i relation till dessa. reuse recycling repurposing fidelity media archaeology music technology sustainability sustainable art degrowth prolation canon computer game engine lo-fi game music game sound cassette tape återbruk återanpassning återgivning mediearkeologi musikteknologi hållbarhet hållbar konst degrowth lo-fi spelmusik spelljud kassett magnetband proportionskanon Music Musik Media Engineering Mediateknik Media Studies Medievetenskap
