  1. 1. The acoustics and performance of DJ scratching, Analysis and modelling

    Författare :Kjetil Falkenberg Hansen; Roberto Bresin; Rolf Inge Godöy; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Acoustics; Akustik; Other veterinary medicine; Övrig veterinärmedicin; scratching;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis focuses on the analysis and modeling of scratching, in other words, the DJ (disk jockey) practice of using the turntable as a musical instrument. There has been experimental use of turntables as musical instruments since their invention, but the use is now mainly ascribed to the musical genre hip-hop and the playing style known as scratching.

  3. 2. The bowed string

    Författare :Knut Guettler; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :Bowed string; violin; musical acoustics; musical transient; anomalous low frequencies; Helmholtz motion;

    Sammanfattning : Of the many waveforms the bowed string can assume, theso-called "Helmholtz motion" (Helmholtz 1862) gives the fullestsound in terms of power and overtone richness. The developmentof this steady-state oscillation pattern can take manydifferent paths, most of which would include noise caused bystick-slip irregularities of the bow-string contact. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Methods for specification of sound quality applied to saxophone sound

    Författare :Arne Nykänen; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Teknisk akustik; Engineering Acoustics;

    Sammanfattning : Product specifications that include descriptors of sound qualities are most helpful when a description contains adequate detail and utilises understandable wording. Good specifications require that any descriptions used are familiar to users and that these descriptions are interpretable as acoustical quantities. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Sound Quality of Flue Organ Pipe. An Interdisciplinary Study on the Art of Voicing

    Författare :Vincent Rioux; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; listening tests; psychoacoustics; verbal descriptors; flue organ pipes; musical acoustics; sound quality; deterministic stochastic separation; timbre; time-frequency analysis;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis presents a research study carried out in collaboration with a department of applied acoustics, a department of musical acoustics and an organ workshop. The description of the sound quality of flue organ pipes has received fairly little attention either in organ-building or scientific literature, despite its importance in the overall quality of the instrument, probably due to the difficulties inherent in doing so.

  7. 5. Textile sound design

    Författare :Margareta Zetterblom; Högskolan i Borås; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; textile design; sound design; acoustics; pierre schaeffer; sound absorbing textiles; Textil design;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis aims at developing conceptual and methodological tools in order to adapt sound within the textile design area. Occupational groups working with sound are to a large extent problem driven. Accordingly, textile designers working with sound- affecting properties of textiles concentrate on their dampening qualities. LÄS MER
