香蕉视频

The Computational Acoustic Modeling Laboratory (CAML) at 香蕉视频 is devoted to musical acoustics and sound synthesis research. Lab projects are also directed toward the development of software tools to assist with audio processing, music performance, and pedagogy.听 Research topics include:

• Measurements and analyses of music instruments and other sounding objects to gain a theoretical understanding of their fundamental acoustic behaviors
• The development of computer-based mathematical models for the analysis of acoustic systems and for subsequent use in studying variations in instrument designs
• Perceptual studies to better understand how performers sense variations between musical instruments
• The creation of efficient, real-time synthesis algorithms capable of producing convincing sounds (perhaps informed by psychoacoustic data)

The McGill 'Digital Composition Studios' (formerly the 'Electronic Music Studio' ) was founded in 1964. Part of the Composition Area, its mission is to promote and facilitate all activities within the School of Music that involve the creative and applied use of music technologies. Activities include:

• Undergraduate and graduate teaching
• Compositional projects
• Performance of works involving technology
• Creation/research activities
• Supporting events at the Schulich School of Music as required

The MPCL explores how listeners perceive musical sounds, how they comprehend a complex musical scene composed of sources, events, sequences, and musical structures and how they react emotionally to that scene. 听Research topics include:

• Perception of musical timbre
• Auditory scene analysis
• Perception of formal functions in music
• Cognitive and affective dynamics of music listening
• Performance and perception of keyboard music
• Sound source perception
• Multimodal integration in action contexts
• Psychological foundations for orchestration

MPBL studies use the scientific approach to develop a thorough understanding of the performer鈥檚 control parameters, namely the respiratory mechanics of musicians in order to develop new and improved student-centered science-based pedagogies that will allow students to develop efficient and healthy breathing strategies and other body related practices.听 MPBL is a respiratory laboratory with an optoelectronic plethysmograph (motion capture) and respiratory and physiological measurement devices (spirometry, electromyography, flowmeter, pressure and sound recording).听 On-going projects include:

• How do the preparatory and respiratory gestures of flute players vary according to the musical tasks performed?
• Opto electronic analysis of respiratory control in trombone performance
• On the control of respiratory muscles during trombone performance
• The effects of participating in a community concert band on quality of life, mental and physical health, and self-perceived music performance anxiety in senior citizens
• Computer software for learning expression: Significance of gestures in piano performance
• Building a database of north Indian Kathak dance movements with tabla accompaniment, and their associated vocalizations
• Musicking the Body Electric - New Music for Spatialized Performing and Listening Using Novel Score Interfaces for Mobile Musicians
• Actualisation de l鈥檃pprentissage et de l鈥檈nseignement extrascolaire d鈥檌nstruments de musique aux r茅alit茅s socioculturelle et num茅rique du XXIe si猫cle
• The Visible Breath: From Actual to New Strategies for Respiratory Enhanced Learning

The VAT offers new ambient solutions for performing musicians by providing them with interactive immersive acoustic environments that support their execution of the score and improve aspects of acoustic communication within ensemble and with an audience. The work is conducted in the Multimedia Room (MMR), the Schulich School of Music largest acoustics research laboratory, and is supported by grants from SSHRC and NSERC. The public is invited to annual concerts and recitals in Virtual Acoustics as part of "live at CIRMMT" series called "Virtual Salon". Research topics include:

• The development of an innovative electro-acoustic enhancement system, based on measured high-resolution room impulse responses
• Optimization of the electro-acoustic coupling between existing room acoustics and simulation acoustics
• Training of musicians to engage room acoustics in their music performance; developing their artistic ability for "Playing the Room".
• Developing and studying synthetic sound fields, their objective parameters, subjective functionalities and characterizations
• Researching scalability of active virtual acoustic enhancement to smaller living room type and studio environments
• Testing and applying 3D multichannel sound recording techniques capturing optimized musical performance in virtual acoustics
• Developing intuitive human interfaces for dynamic control of sound field during musical performance
• Studying human interactions with and within acoustic ambient environments during musical performance
