This paper presents the results of two recent pilot experiments conducted to investigate the performance of a realtime physical violin model using bowing parameters generated by a real player. In each of these two experiments, the calibrated bowing parameters of bow force, bow speed, and bow position (bow-bridge distance) are mapped to the calibrated inputs of the physical model in order to exa...

Traditional musical instruments provide compelling metaphors for human-computer interfacing, both in terms of input (physical, gestural performance activities) and output (sound diffusion). The violin, one of the most refined and expressive of traditional instruments, combines a peculiar physical interface with a rich acoustic diffuser. We have built a new instrument that includes elements of b...

We describe the ongoing development of a system to support the teaching of good posture and bowing technique to novice violin players. Using an inertial motion capture system we can track in real-time: i) a player’s bowing action (and measure how it deviates from a target trajectory); ii) whether the player is holding their violin correctly. We detail some initial experiments that show that vib...

Vibrato is one of the most important expressive parameters that players can control when rendering a piece of music. The simulation of vibrato, in systems for automatic music performance, is still an open problem. A mere regular periodic modulation of pitch generally yields unsatisfactory results, sounding both unnatural and mechanical. An appropriate control of vibrato rate and vibrato extent ...

This paper presents a multi-modal approach to musical instrument pitch tracking combining audio and position sensor data. Finger location on a violin fingerboard is measured using resistive sensors, allowing rapid detection of approximate pitch. The initial pitch estimate is then used to restrict the search space of an audio pitch tracking algorithm. Most audio pitch tracking algorithms face a ...

Its main goal is to present how disease determines patient’s changes his attitude world around him. analysis centres three short stories: Typhus, Bishop Rothschild’s Violin. In first two works, narrator draws attention physical suffering protagonists. sensory experience, which emotions minds...

Antonio Vivaldi is considered one of the most brilliant Italian composers and musicians his time, lack available resources under those who deal with life works, he was a violinist, composed different forms music such as opera or instrumental pieces religious music, but important features development concerto an amazing ability to innovate, researcher noticed, through reading these works playing...

We present a method that gets as input an audio of violin or piano playing, and outputs a video of skeleton predictions which are further used to animate an avatar. The key idea is to create an animation of an avatar that moves their hands similarly to how a pianist or violinist would do, just from audio. Aiming for a fully detailed correct arms and fingers motion is a goal, however, it’s not c...

Dan Overholt Department of Architecture, Design and Media Technology Aalborg University, Denmark Niels Jernes Vej 14, 3-107 [email protected] ABSTRACT The Overtone Fiddle is a new violin-family instrument that incorporates electronic sensors, integrated DSP, and physical actuation of the acoustic body. An embedded tactile sound transducer creates extra vibrations in the body of the Overtone Fi...
