چکیده
This paper describes introductory studies for an intermedia performance Counterlines a duet for Disklavier and Wacom Cintiq, in which both performers generate audiovisual materials that relate to each other contrapuntally. In the described five studies the pianist generates graphic lines while playing music and the graphic performer generates piano lines by drawing. The paper discusses our approach to audio-visual interfacing and intermedia composition.

متن کاملThe perception of melodic consonance: an acoustical and neurophysiological explanation based on the overtone series

This hypothesis admits of psychoacoustical and neurophysiological interpretations that fit well with the place theory of pitch perception. The hypothesis is used to create a mode...
