Capturing intricate and subtle variations in human expressiveness in music performance using computational approaches is challenging. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for reconstructing human expressiveness in piano performance…
Picking up, laying down, colliding, rolling, and peeling are partial-contact interactions involving moving discontinuities. We examine the balances of momentum and energy across a moving discontinuity in a string, with allowance for…
We examine in detail the theory of the intrinsic non-linearities in the dynamics of trapped ions due to the Coulomb interaction. In particular the possibility of mode-mode coupling, which can be a source of decoherence in trapped ion…
We give the general form of the vertex corresponding to the interaction of an arbitrary number of strings. The technique employed relies on the ``comma" representation of String Field Theory where string fields and interactions are…
These informal notes deal with Fourier series in one or more variables, Fourier transforms in one variable, and related matters.
The resonance phenomenon is of central importance in many areas of physics, with particular significance in the study of nuclear structure and reactions. Starting from the classical framework of damped driven oscillations, this text…
Key issues of classical and quantum strings in gravitational plane waves, shock waves and spacetime singularities are synthetically understood. This includes the string mass and mode number excitations, energy-momentum tensor, scattering…
The search for a theory that unifies general relativity and quantum theory has focused attention on models of physics at the Planck scale. One possible consequence of models such as string theory may be that Lorentz invariance is not an…
We argue that the light particles in string theory obey an effective quantum mechanics modified by the inclusion of a quantum-gravitational friction term, induced by unavoidable couplings to unobserved massive string states in the…
This paper presents developments in the technology underlying the cyclotactor, a finger-based tactile I/O device for musical interaction. These include significant improvements both in the basic characteristics of tactile interaction and in…
The main result of this paper concerns the behavior of a free boundary arising from a minimization problem, close to the fixed boundary in two dimensions.
A convenient algebraic structure to describe some forms of dynamics of two hamiltonian systems with nonpotential (magnetic--type) interaction is considered. An algebraic mechanism of generation of such dynamics is explored on simple "toy"…
The wolf note is an acoustic instability that occurs in large bowed string instruments when a strong body resonance interacts with the vibrating string, producing amplitude modulation and loss of tonal control. Various wolf suppressors -…
This paper focuses on the oscillation threshold of single reed instruments. Several characteristics such as blowing pressure at threshold, regime selection, and playing frequency are known to change radically when taking into account the…
In this paper we study strings with quantized masses in the pp-wave background. We obtain these strings from the membrane theory. For achieving to this, one of the membrane and one of the spacetime directions will be identified and wrapped.…
We give a short review of a number of different models for treating magnetization effects in plasmas. In particular, the transition between kinetic models and fluid models is discussed. We also give examples of applications of such…
In this paper we review the system made up by two blocks connected by a string over a smooth pulley with variable tension. One block lies on an horizontal surface and the another block is hanging vertically. We carry out a complete and…
A data set of recorded single played tones of a concert grand piano is investigated using Machine Learning (ML) on psychoacoustic timbre features. The examined instrument has been recorded at two stages: firstly right after manufacture and…
In order to explore tonality outside of the `Pythagorean' paradigm of integer ratios, Robert Schneider introduced a musical scale based on the logarithm function. We seek to refine Schneider's scale so that the difference tones generated by…
Tablature notation is widely used in popular music to transcribe and share guitar musical content. As a complement to standard score notation, tablatures transcribe performance gesture information including finger positions and a variety of…
