Playing Musical Tiles
نویسنده
چکیده
In this survey paper, I describe three applications of tilings to music theory: the representation of tuning systems and chord relationships by lattices, modeling voice leading by tilings of n-dimensional space, and the classification of rhythmic tiling canons, which are essentially one-dimensional tilings.

Background : Sound pollution has unwarranted effects on hearing loss. Despite numerous prior studies on sound pollution and its effects in industrial environments, scanty studies are available among musicians. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the association between musical instruments noise and hearing loss. Material and method : For this prospective study, 50 professional players o...
متن کاملPlane Tessellation With Musical Scale Tiles And Bidimensional Automatic Composition
We present a method for arranging the notes of certain musical scales (pentatonic, heptatonic, Blues Minor and Blues Major) in the plane by using the idea of plane tessellation with specially designed musical-scale tiles. The motivation of such a representation is described, as well as the mathematical analysis of the possibility of its realization. As a main application of the idea we introduc...
متن کاملGeneralized Forcing in Aperiodic Tilings
An aperiodic tiling is one which uses a nite set of prototiles to tile space such that there is no translational symmetry within any one tiling. These tilings are of interest to researchers in the natural sciences because they can be used to model and understand quasicrystals, a recently-discovered type of matter which bridges the gap between glass, which has no regular structure, and crystals,...
متن کاملPlaying a Musical Instrument as a Protective Factor against Dementia and Cognitive Impairment: A Population-Based Twin Study
Increasing evidence supports that playing a musical instrument may benefit cognitive development and health at young ages. Whether playing an instrument provides protection against dementia has not been established. In a population-based cotwin control study, we examined the association between playing a musical instrument and whether or not the twins developed dementia or cognitive impairment....
متن کاملStructural and functional plasticity specific to musical training with wind instruments
Numerous neuroimaging studies have shown structural and functional changes resulting from musical training. Among these studies, changes in primary sensory areas are mostly related to motor functions. In this study, we looked for some similar functional and structural changes in other functional modalities, such as somatosensory function, by examining the effects of musical training with wind i...
