Strategies for the exploration of ornament performance

Performing music is a creative process, even if notated music is performed. It is creative in the sense that performers have to establish and refine an interpretation of the music, given the under-specification of western notation and the aesthetic demands to provide an individual, but coherent, interpretation. Part of the practice is to explore interpretations and refine a chosen interpretatio...

ROOT TEXT OF Ornament of Clear Realization

The size of a melanin-based plumage ornament correlates with glucocorticoid receptor concentrations in the skin of that ornament.

Glucocorticoid hormones such as corticosterone (CORT) play crucial roles in many physiological processes. CORT's actions are primarily mediated via binding to two receptors (glucocorticoid receptors (GRs) and mineralocorticoid receptors (MRs)) in different target tissues. CORT receptors can be independently regulated from circulating hormone titres, from tissue to tissue and even within differe...

Highland piping ornament recognition using dynamic time warping

This work uses a custom-built digital bagpipe chanter interface to assist in the process of learning the Great Highland Bagpipe (GHB). In this paper, a new algorithm is presented for the automatic recognition and evaluation of the various ornamentation techniques that are a central aspect of traditional Highland bagpipe music. The algorithm is evaluated alongside a previously published approach...

Re-thinking the Concept of “Ornament ” in Architectural Design

The concept of ornament has emerged as a result of the existence of the human being and its relation to its environment. Ornament of objects, which aim at adding qualitative features to objects alongside their quantitative states, is a practice that is as old as humanity. Within this process of the individual’s efforts in thinking, designing, creating, and communicating, one comes across orname...
