Untouchable instruments and Performances
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper is a report of new musical instrument/ interface in which the main concept is "untouchable". I will report on not only the system design but also on the performances as applications. The new musical instrument/interface is constructed with infrared rays distance sensors and optical distance sensors. In attending some concerts of computer music in the past, I was inspired with performances by hand-gesture, and the idea of "multi-channel Theremin" struck me. At first, I developed a new instrument "Peller-Min" as the 32channels Theremin. As the application of this instrument, I composed new work "controllable untouchableness" and performed twice in concerts. Secondly, I developed a new compact interface by the same concept. As the application of this interface, I composed new work "Ural Power" and performed in Russia.

"Only a manic depressive!": the zone of the untouchable and exceeding limits in acute psychiatric care.
This article addresses psychotic patients' fragile boundaries and need for professional help to restore their personal untouchable zone. We examine how nurses move into this inviolable zone and re-establish limits. Empirical data are drawn from an acute psychiatric setting and focus on one patient in different situations and on her relationships with nurses. Data from nurses' discussions and th...
متن کاملOn Untouchable Numbers and Related Problems
In 1973, Erdős proved that a positive proportion of numbers are untouchable, that is, not of the form σ(n) − n, the sum of the proper divisors of n. We investigate the analogous question where σ is replaced with the sum-of-unitary-divisors function σ∗ (which sums divisors d of n such that (d, n/d) = 1), thus solving a problem of te Riele from 1976. We also describe a fast algorithm for enumerat...
متن کاملUntouchable Instrument "Peller-Min"
This paper is a report on the development of a new musical instrument in which the main concept is "Untouchable". The key concept of this instrument is "sound generation by body gesture (both hands)" and "sound generation by kneading with hands". The new composition project had completed as the premiere of a new work “controllable untouchableness” with this new instrument in December 2009.
متن کاملUnitary untouchable numbers
In 1973, Erdős proved that a positive proportion of numbers are untouchable; that is, not of the form s(n), where s(n) := σ(n)−n is the sum of the proper divisors of n. We investigate the analogous question where σ is replaced with similar divisor functions, such as the unitary sum-of-divisors function σ∗ (which sums those divisors d of n co-prime to n/d). We use the slightly modified version o...
متن کاملExamining the Spectator Experience
Drawing on a model of spectator understanding of error in performance in the literature, we document a qualitative experiment that explores the relationships between domain knowledge, mental models, intention and error recognition by spectators of performances with electronic instruments. Participants saw two performances with contrasting instruments, with controls on their mental model and und...
