Oto-Shigure: An Umbrella-Shaped Sound Generator for Musical Expression
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we introduce Oto-Shigure, an umbrella-shaped sound generator for musical expression. Attention of the music computing community hasn't been focusing on sound output but sound input. However, we argue that in order to make highly expressive sounds, it is significant to increase methods for sound output. Therefore, we developed the new sound-generating device for variety of musical expressions. Oto-Shigure provides two experiences for the user; feel the sounds as if you are bathing in the rain, and easily arrange the rotation of sounds above the umbrella by controlling the sound localization. This is a device not just for musicians but also non-musicians.

Design and fabrication of an ultrasonic thermoacoustic generator using metal nanocoatings (Research Article)
In this paper, we design, simulate, and build an ultrasonic heat generator. In thermoacoustics, heat generated by the passage of alternating current through a thin conductor produces a sound wave. In this method, unlike other methods of sound production, moving parts are not used to vibrate air molecules, and as a result, the frequency response of these generators is flatter than other sound ge...
متن کاملTwinkleBall: A Wireless Musical Interface for Embodied Sound Media
In this paper, we introduce a wireless musical interface driven by grasping forces and human motion. The sounds generated by the traditional digital musical instruments are dependent on the physical shape of the musical instruments. The freedom of the musical performance is restricted by its structure. Therefore, the sounds cannot be generated with the body expression like the dance. We develop...
متن کاملA generalized musical-tone generator with application to sound compression and synthesis
Amusical-tone generator based on physical modeling of the sound production mechanisms is presented. To the purpose of making this scheme general for a wide class of musical instruments, the nonlinear part of the tone-generator is modeled by a neural network. The system learns its parameters and the nonlinearity shape by means of nonlinear identication procedures based on waveform or spectral ma...
متن کاملOsiris: a liquid based digital musical instrument
This article describes the process of creation of a new digital musical instrument: Osiris. This device is based on the circulation detection of liquids for the generation of musical notes. Besides the system of liquid distribution, a module that generates MIDI events was designed and built based on the Arduino platform; such module is employed together with a Proteus 2000 sound generator progr...
متن کاملThe Medium is the Message: Composing Instruments and Performing Mappings
Many performers of novel musical instruments find it difficult to engage audiences beyond those in the field. Previous research points to a failure to balance complexity with usability, and a loss of transparency due to the detachment of the controller and sound generator. The issue is often exacerbated by an audience’s lack of prior exposure to the instrument and its workings. However, we argu...
