In this study, we propose a new measure of user experience and examine its validity using the data collected from over 240 smartphone mobile users in South Korea. Based on prior research ...

The Elbow Piano: Sonification of Piano Playing Movements

The Elbow Piano distinguishes two types of piano touch: a touch with movement in the elbow joint and a touch without. A played note is first mapped to the left or right hand by visual tracking. Custom-built goniometers attached to the player's arms are used to detect the type of touch. The two different types of touches are sonified by different instrument sounds. This gives the player an incre...

Unsupervised Transcription of Piano Music

We present a new probabilistic model for transcribing piano music from audio to a symbolic form. Our model reflects the process by which discrete musical events give rise to acoustic signals that are then superimposed to produce the observed data. As a result, the inference procedure for our model naturally resolves the source separation problem introduced by the the piano’s polyphony. In order...
