Aobachi: A New Interface for Japanese Drumming
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a prototype of a new musical interface for Japanese drumming techniques and styles. Our design used in the Aobachi drumming sticks provides 5 gesture parameters (3 axes of acceleration, and 2 axes of angular velocity) for each of the two sticks and transmits this data wirelessly using Bluetooth® technology. This system utilizes minimal hardware embedded in the two drumming sticks, allowing for gesture tracking of drum strokes by an interface of traditional form, appearance, and feel. Aobachi is portable, versatile, and robust, and may be used for a variety of musical applications, as well as analytical studies.

A Comparison of Solenoid-Based Strategies for robotic drumming
Solenoids are important components of robotic drumming systems and several designs have been proposed. In this paper, we compare different designs in terms of speed and dynamic range and discuss the tradeoffs involved. The evaluation is performed in the context of MahaDeviBot, a custom built 12-armed MIDI controlled mechanical device that performs a variety of Indian folk instruments, including...
متن کاملHand-drumming to build community: the story of the Whittier Drum Project.

Drumming is very accessible, not like playing the piano or violin. Simple rhythms can be taught to people with no drumming experience very quickly and an ensemble rhythm created with a group in one sitting. Drumming tur...
متن کاملDevelopment of interpersonal coordination between peers during a drumming task.
During social interaction, the behavior of interacting partners becomes coordinated. Although interpersonal coordination is well-studied in adults, relatively little is known about its development. In this project we explored how 2-, 3-, and 4-year-old children spontaneously coordinated their drumming with a peer. Results showed that all children adapted their drumming to their partner's drummi...
متن کاملMaking music for mental health: how group drumming mediates recovery
BACKGROUND While music-making interventions are increasingly recognised as enhancing mental health, little is known of why music may engender such benefit. The objective of this article is to elucidate the features of a programme of group drumming known to enable mental health recovery. METHODS Qualitative research was conducted with 39 mental health patients and carers who had demonstrated r...
متن کاملIdentification of European woodpecker species in audio recordings from their drumming rolls
Article history: Received 10 May 2016 Received in revised form 23 August 2016 Accepted 28 August 2016 Available online 30 August 2016 Drumming sounds are substantial clues when searching audio recordings for the presence of woodpeckers. Woodpeckers use drumming for territory defence and mate attraction to such an extent that some species have no vocalisations for these functions. This implies t...
