چکیده
15 (Received 6 March 2012; revised 30 October 2012; accepted 17 December 2012) 16 17 Real-time Magnetic Resonance Imaging (rtMRI) was used to examine mechanisms of sound 18 production by an American male beatbox artist. rtMRI was found to be a useful modality with 19 which to study this form of sound production, providing a global dynamic view of the midsagittal 20 vocal tract at frame rates sufficient to observe the movement and coordination of critical articula21 tors. The subject’s repertoire included percussion elements generated using a wide range of articu22 latory and airstream mechanisms. Many of the same mechanisms observed in human speech 23 production were exploited for musical effect, including patterns of articulation that do not occur in 24 the phonologies of the artist’s native languages: ejectives and clicks. The data offer insights into 25 the paralinguistic use of phonetic primitives and the ways in which they are coordinated in this style 26 of musical performance. A unified formalism for describing both musical and phonetic dimensions 27 of human vocal percussion performance is proposed. Audio and video data illustrating production 28 and orchestration of beatboxing sound effects are provided in a companion annotated corpus. 29 VC 2013 Acoustical Society of America.

متن کاملComparison of Basic Beatboxing Articulations Between Expert and Novice Artists Using Real-Time Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Real-time Magnetic Resonance Imaging (rtMRI) was used to examine mechanisms of sound production in five beatboxers. rtMRI was found to be an effective tool with which to study the articulatory dynamics of this form of human vocal production; it provides a dynamic view of the entire midsagittal vocal tract and at a frame rate (83 fps) sufficient to observe the movement and coordination of critic...
متن کاملSounds of the Human Vocal Tract
Previous research suggests that beatboxers only use sounds that exist in the world’s languages. This paper provides evidence to the contrary, showing that beatboxers use non-linguistic articulations and airstream mechanisms to produce many sound effects that have not been attested in any language. An analysis of real-time magnetic resonance videos of beatboxing reveals that beatboxers produce n...
متن کاملA Compact Spectrum-Assisted Human Beatboxing Reinforcement Learning Tool On Smartphone
Music is expressive and hard to be described by words. Learning music is therefore not a straightforward task especially for vocal music such as human beatboxing. People usually learn beatboxing in the traditional way of imitating audio sample without steps and instructions. Spectrogram contains a lot of information about audio, but it is too complicated to be understood in real-time. Reinforce...
متن کاملAccelerating Magnetic Resonance Imaging through Compressed Sensing Theory in the Direction space-k
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive imaging method widely used in medical diagnosis. Data in MRI are obtained line-by-line within the K-space, where there are usually a great number of such lines. For this reason, magnetic resonance imaging is slow. MRI can be accelerated through several methods such as parallel imaging and compressed sensing, where a fraction of the K-space lines...
