How clarinettists vary amplitude, frequency, spectral features and microtiming to play music expressively
Nine experienced clarinettists were asked to produce a range of ‘expressive goals’ (EGs, related to emotions) through different performances of a set of melodies. Several performance features were analysed, including features concerned with rarely investigated aspects of the sustain portion of a note (SPOAN). In comparison to other EGs, Angry was played loud, maximum amplitude of SPOAN arriving early, and with a steep attack slope; Deadpan: with …
Expressive goals for performing musicians
Music can convey emotions. Even in the performance of written rather than improvised music, the performer can modify the way they play particular elements of the music to convey specific emotions. Considerable research attention has been paid to the ways in which performers convey a small set of so-called basic emotions. In the current work, we investigated how musicians think they can convey a larger set of emotions in their performances by modi…
The Virtual Flute
The Virtual Flute is a web service that provides many thousands of machine-predicted alternative fingerings. Alternative fingerings can offer variations in intonation and timbre, and can be easier to play in different musical contexts. Many play multiphonics. An advanced fingering guide is invaluable when exotic effects and demanding passages are required of the player. The Virtual Flute uses an expert system that predicts musical properties from…
Learning to Pronounce Vowel Sounds in a Foreign Language using Acoustic Measurements of the Vocal Tract as Feedback in Real Time
An acoustic impedance spectrometer was used to measure the frequencies R1 and R2 of the first two resonances of the vocal tract. The measurement was made just outside the mouth, in parallel with the free field, using a new technique that provides precise information about the acoustic response of the vocal tract in real time. Values measured for native speakers for a particular vowel were used as target parameters for subjects who used a visual d…
