On some musical applications of Ircam’s “Mathematical School for Musicians and other Non-Mathematicians”

چکیده
In this paper we provide a brief overview of the two mathematical constructions presented by Yves André during the first two session of Ircam’s “Mathematical School for Musicians and other Non-Mathematicians”. After discussing a musical application of Operator Theory we try to suggest the possible connection between Jean-Yves Girard’s Geometry of Interaction (based on a special case of von Neumann algebras) and a recent topos-theoretical model of musical gesture [28] which provides an extension of the “classical” structure-oriented framework of Guerino Mazzola’s Topos of Music. This interpretation raises the question of the articulation between formal models, programming and computation in music and suggests some possible directions in the definition of “musical logic”.

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 کاملNon-Newtonian Fuzzy numbers and related applications
Although there are many excellent ways presenting the principle of the classical calculus, the novel presentations probably leads most naturally to the development of the non-Newtonian calculus. The important point to note is that the non-Newtonian calculus is a self-contained system independent of any other system of calculus. Since this self-contained work is intended for a wide audience, inc...
متن کاملOn The Concord of Sweet Sounds
Analysis of music for its consonant and dissonant properties has been performed by philosophers, musicians, physicists, and mathematicians for centuries. Analysis of powerful models developed by these researchers can be simplified and strengthened using basic physical concepts. By observing standard musical waveforms on an oscilloscope and comparing them to standard mathematical models a new un...
متن کاملThe dichotomy of prohibition and acceptance of music in the Ghaznavid period
Abstract One of the important cultural issues after the domination of Islam is the attitude to music. In the analyses carried out by Islamic scholars, the use of music was distinguished into two permitted and non-permitted flows. As a result of the use of illegal music, two discourses of sanctions and acceptance were formed, which were qualitatively and quantitatively different. In the Ghaznavi...
متن کاملRhythmic canons and Galois theory
The study of rhythmic canons by mathematicians with musical interest has given rise to unexpected connections to non trivial mathematical problems. The author tried a new approach based on a Galoisian interpretation of the novel results and concepts of Coven and Meyerowitz [4]. Extending this in a second part to finite fields, he concludes with unexpected results. 1 Rhythmic canons, tiling the ...
