I describe a system of polyphony for Pure Data (Puckette, 1996) that is applicable to situations where multiple sequencers are routed to multiple voices, so that the degree of polyphony may be controlled for each sequencer, and polyphonic voices are assigned automatically. Three new objects are crucial for this purpose: maskxor, a bitmask object, sieve, an arraybased router, polymap, a polyphon...

polyphony is a term applied by bakhtin to describe the features of dostoevsky's poetics. according to bakhtin, polyphony is based on dialogism and to respect to the others 'opinion. in this case, polyphony is an achievement that releases human thought of dogmatism. molavi, prior to bakhtin, emphasized on otherness and avoidance of dogmatism and selfdom. polyphony is a twentieth century idiom a...

This chapter introduces a theoretical framework for analyzing collaborative problem solving in chats, based on the concept of polyphony and Bakhtin’s theory of dialog. Polyphony, a notion taken from music theory, may be considered as a general model for interaction and creativity by a group of people (“voices,” in an extended sense) following patterns of counterpoint. As Bakhtin emphasized, pol...

This paper proposes a new musical instrument estimation of polyphony using autocorrelation functions. We notice that each musical instrument has each autocorrelation function. Polyphony can be separated into each monophony using comb filters ( ). We can obtain the autocorrelation functions for the outputs of comb filters from the autocorrelation functions of the monophony. By the pattern patchi...

We extract from sentences a superstructure made of argumentative operators and connectives applying to the remaining set of terminal sub-sentences. We found the argumentative interpretation of utterances on a semantics defined at the linguistic level. We describe the computation of this particular semantics, based on the constraints that the superstructure impels to the argumentative power of t...

This review presents an analysis of the collection articles Decoloniality: Present and Future, published by Gorizontal’ publishing house in 2022. The includes essays, interviews, travelogues Russia foreign researchers, poets, artists, curators, directors. authors analyze concept decoloniality, consider main strategies for living creatively expressing oneself decolonial scenarios, their own trau...

This paper argues that one reason for the success of collaborative problem solving where individual attempts failed is the polyphonic character of work in small groups. Polyphony, a concept taken from music, may occur in chats for problem solving, transforming dialog into a “thinking device”: Different voices jointly construct a melody (story, or solution) and other voices adopt differential po...

Faust is a musical signal processing language. The Faust compiler and the toolset provided along with it enable generating standalone synthesizers and plug-ins for various architectures. We noticed that while being a very useful tool for sound synthesis its VSTi plug-ins lack several critical features for practical usage in combination with music production software and digital audio workstatio...

Polyphonic music classification remains a very challenging area in the field of music information retrieval. In this study, we explore the performance of monophonic models on single parts that are extracted from the polyphony. The presented method is specifically designed for the case of voiced polyphony, but can be extended to any type of music with multiple parts. On a dataset of 207 Haydn an...
