introduction: children with cochlear implants (cis) may experience few opportunities for positive musical experiences, and musical perception is therefore often not sufficiently developed. this paper investigates and discusses the relationship between intelligence quotient (iq) and musical ability in children with cis compared with children with normal hearing.                                  ...

In the speech coding community a low-delay coding usually means that the coding delay should be less than 5 ms, e.g, 2 ms in ITU G.728 [2]. It is reasonable to adopt this rule also to low-delay wideband audio coding. An acoustic signal propagates in air less than one meter within 2 ms and therefore this low coding delay should not produce significant audible echo problems for example in high qu...

The relationship between the shape and social use of Greek Roman theatres has always been overshadowed by technical acoustic analyses these performance spaces. Relevant ruins illustrate typology, acoustics, construction development ancient theatres, which were mainly determined requirements artistic venues. music in tragedies comedies, dances, public speeches performed same places helped to con...

Musical obsessions are rare in both clinical practice and literature. A case is presented of a musical obsession which had the additional unique characteristics of acute onset, marked severity, and occurrence as an isolated symptom.

The article discusses the musical idea of Vytautas Bacevičius, which he called “cosmic music”. composer put it forward in 1960s–1970s, i.e., latest period his life. During this period, composed orchestral work Graphique, op. 68. aims to reveal how cosmic music manifests itself aforementioned work. Bacevičius used a graphic score process composition By using it, aimed transcend conventional way ...

With the advent of digital technology, musical signal processing applications have greatly expanded the frontiers of artistic expression by creating a myriad of new possibilities for music and sound creation and manipulation, as well as music listening. The latest academic and commercial research has produced an abundant set of real-time signal processing applications for sound synthesis and co...

When discussing temperaments, one cannot avoid being a bit technical. However, I have also tried to be practical by discussing temperaments that can be useful to modern keyboardists, and by stressing their important acoustical properties (i.e. how they sound) rather then getting into some complex theories. No special skills in mathematics are required of the reader (footnotes will be used to co...

While modern musicology has seen the frequent exploration of issues of historiography and canonicity, biography itself has largely eluded critical investigation until much more recently. The discipline has lately challenged the aesthetic of musical canon, for many decades a largely uncontested phenomenon, as well as that of the Great Composer. Recent scholarship has similarly addressed the matt...

the musical symbol is one way of expression among many other ways. it doesn`t directly correspond with meaning or reality. rather, it provides images that are representative of the original. however, symbols goes beyond this and provide deep significant symbolic meanings and visions. mystical poetry has a complex intellectual structure, particularly in arabic and persian literature. hence, musi...
