Supplementary materialThis paper describes music visualization methods for learning various viewpoints in music comprehension. In order to encourage listener's metacognitive verbalization, our system provides the "rough-segmentation" and "directability" with an interactive interface in which subjects can freely manipulate parameter settings and see the change in music visualization in real-time. The manuscript describes the survey of music visualization especially for using score information and introduces authors' works (ScoreIlluminator, Colorscore, automatic voice segregation for polyphony music).View full abstractDownload PDF (837K) -

Supplementary materialIt is said that there is an inclination to take in non-Western music aesthetics and musical tones in today’s artistic music wind, and we enter an era of “World Music”. The sort of musical material increases more and more with the development of technology, and a new problem that it’s almost impossible to write some kinds of non-Western music information has arisen, because the staff notation reflects deeply the aesthetics of traditional Western music. So in this article, we realize the characteristics and competence of staff notation again by comparing non-Western communicative means of music, and gain a foothold in new notation which will enable to represent crosscultural music philosophy. The concrete subject matters are as follows. 1) On staff notation’s supremacy. 2) On the limit of staff notation. 3) On the difference between Western musical tone and non-Western musical tone. Comparison using a spectral analysis. 4) On the notation for waving tone varying timbre, pitch and volume constantly. 5) On the possibilities of applying spectral analysis to music education and composition.View full abstractDownload PDF (1021K) -

Supplementary materialThe discussion of the timbre of a musical instrument is still experiential and subjective. Concerning the issue such as "what it is the beautiful tone", many scientists have analyzed violins of Stradivari's work from the various point of view in order to explain what the beauty of a tone is, and they will still have tried so far.
As for an important literature about violin research, the papers by Hutchins are famous, but in addition, I introduce many researches in the present paper for “visualization of music and musical instrument" special edition, especially about the violin. The researches on visualization of a timbre in recent years are surveyed across boundaries such as the acoustic, structure, material, and education.View full abstractDownload PDF (1952K)
