چکیده
In this paper, we present the “Mobile Device Marching Band” (MDMB) as a new mode of musical performance with mobile computing devices. We define an MDMB to be, at its most general, any ensemble utilizing mobile computation that can travel as it performs, with the performance being independent of its location. We will discuss the affordances and limitations of mobile-based instrument design and performance, specifically within the context of a “moving” ensemble. We will also discuss the use of a Mobile Device Marching Band as an educational tool. Finally, we will explore our implementation of an MDMB, an electronic Brazilian percussion ensemble.

This paper describes the development of an Apple iPhone based mobile computer system for vibraphone and its use in a series of the author’s performance projects in 2011 and 2012. This artistic research was motivated by a desire to develop an alternative to laptop computers for the author’s existing percussion and computer performance practice. The aims were to develop a light, compact and flexi...
متن کاملCenter of percussion of hand-held implements
The center of percussion is commonly regarded as a sweet spot when referring to a baseball bat or a tennis racquet because it is assumed that there will be no sudden motion of the handle with respect to the hand if the corresponding axis of rotation passes through the hand. A problem with this interpretation is that the hand extends over a finite length of the handle and exerts an opposing reac...

متن کاملThe Impact of Cooperative Learning and Mobile Learning through Bluetooth Device on Vocabulary Learning of Iranian EFL Learners
Cooperative learning has been found to affect different aspects of language learning by many researchers (e.g., Kagan, 1995; Kagan, 1999; Kessler, 1992; McGroarty, 1993). Likewise, mobile assisted language learning (MALL) has revealed significant impacts on the improvement of different language skills and components (e.g., Comas-Quinn et al. 2009; Divitini & Chabert, 2009; Motallebzadeh & Ganja...
