Díamair: Composing for Choir and Integral Music Controller
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we describe the composition of a piece for choir and Integral Music Controller. We focus more on the aesthetic, conceptual, and practical aspects of the interface and less on the technological details. We especially stress the influence that the designed interface poses on the compositional process and how we approach the expressive organisation of musical materials during the composition of the piece, as well as the addition of nuances (personal real-time expression) by the musicians at performance time.

A Digital Mobile Choir: Joining Two Interfaces towards Composing and Performing Collaborative Mobile Music
We present the integration of two musical interfaces into a new music-making system that seeks to capture the experience of a choir and bring it into the mobile space. This system relies on three pervasive technologies that each support a different part of the musical experience. First, the mobile device application for performing with an artificial voice, called ChoirMob. Then, a central compo...
متن کاملChorus Digitalis: Experiments in Chironomic Choir Singing
This paper reports on experiments in real-time gestural control of voice synthesis. The ability of hand writing gestures for controlling singing intonation (chironomic singing synthesis) is studied. In a first part, the singing synthesizer and controller are described. The system is developed in an environment for multi-users music synthesis, allowing for synthetic choir singing. In a second pa...
متن کاملAbsolute Memory for Melody: a S
A number of recent recognition and production studies using classical music, pop songs, and folk songs suggest that longterm memory retains more than only relational information on stored melodies: Non-musicians and non-AP-possessors seem to be able to recall absolute pitches and absolute tempo. Here, choir singers were tested on memory for the key of wellrehearsed pieces. Two groups of partici...
متن کاملLong-time average spectrum characteristics of different choirs in different rooms
Long-time average spectra (LTAS) were made of a boys' choir, a youth choir and an adult choir, singing in a large church, a basement room and a rehearsal hall. The effects of room acoustics, vocal effort, musical material and choir type on the LTAS were evaluated. Large spectrum effects were caused directly by differences in room absorption. Such differences also induced compensatory changes in...
متن کاملComposing for Hyperbow: A Collaboration Between MIT and the Royal Academy of Music
In this paper we present progress of an ongoing collaboration between researchers at the MIT Media Laboratory and the Royal Academy of Music (RAM). The aim of this project is to further explore the expressive musical potential of the Hyperbow, a custom music controller first designed for use in violin performance. Through the creation of new repertoire, we hope to stimulate the evolution of thi...
