When looking at modern music club settings, especially in the area of electronic music, music is consumed in a unidirectional way on a sound engineering level – from DJ or producer to the audience – with little direct means to influence and participate. In this paper we challenge this phenomenon and aim for a new bond between the audience and the DJ through the creation of an interactive dance ...

feeding behavior of yellowfin seabream larvae during the first two weeks of larval life was studied by feeding larvae  on different ratios of live food and  microencapsulated diet (med). food consumption rate increased progressively with increasing larval weight. the results from visual observation of the larval guts under a light microscope indicated that yellowfin seabream larvae were able to...

NLN-live is a dynamic score system for nonlinear and interactive instrumental music performances, based on music technologies used in video games. The goal of NLN-live is to facilitate dynamically controlled collaborative performances that make live interactive video games music possible. The principle of NLN-live is simple: every musician of an ensemble repeatedly plays two fragments of music ...

Drawing from conceptual discussions and a reflection on extended techniques in musical performance, we offer the notion of an ‘ad hoc instrument’ as an instrument constructed during the course of interacting with it. To concretise the idea, we explore the utility of ‘Pin&Play’ technology where interface elements like dials, sliders and buttons are pinned to a conductive substrate. We describe a...

Live coding emphasizes improvisation. It is an art practice merging the act of musical composition and performance into a public act of projected writing. This paper introduces the improvisational features of the Threnoscope system, which implements a live coding microlanguage for drone-based microtonal composition. The paper discusses the aims and objectives of the system, elucidates design de...

patients and methods from march 1976 to december 2013, the number of patients that underwent living renal transplantation sharing at least one hla haplotype with their donors was 2,485. we divided these patients into two groups: (1) 2,075 kidney transplant recipients (1,554 or 74.9% male and 521 or 25.1% female) for whom the donors were living related, (2) 410 kidney transplant recipients (297 ...
