Selling digital music, formatting culture
Selling Digital Music, Formatting Culturedocuments the transition of recorded music on CDs to music as digital files on computers. More than two decades after the first digital music files began circulating in online archives and playing through new software media players, we have yet to fully internalize the cultural and aesthetic consequences of these shifts. Tracing the emergence of what Jeremy Wade Morris calls the \"digital music commodity,\"Selling Digital Music, Formatting Cultureconsiders how a conflicted assemblage of technologies, users, and industries helped reformat popular music's meanings and uses. Through case studies of five key technologies-Winamp, metadata, Napster, iTunes, and cloud computing-this book explores how music listeners gradually came to understand computers and digital files as suitable replacements for their stereos and CD. Morris connects industrial production, popular culture, technology, and commerce in a narrative involving the aesthetics of music and computers, and the labor of producers and everyday users, as well as the value that listeners make and take from digital objects and cultural goods. Above all,Selling Digital Music, Formatting Cultureis a sounding out of music's encounters with the interfaces, metadata, and algorithms of digital culture and of why the shifting form of the music commodity matters for the music and other media we love.

Research on the theory and practice of multimedia music image photography in music research
Note recognition is the core and key of music score recognition. In this paper, according to the diversity and polymorphism of notes, a structure-based recognition scheme is determined, and its recognition process is divided into two stages: primitive extraction and structure analysis. In the aspect of note primitive extraction, the rough extraction method based on vertical run-length coding and the fine detection method based on horizontal run-length coding are proposed, which overcome the shortcomings of the existing methods such as poor adaptability of complex notes and incomplete extraction results. A solid head extraction method is designed, which first divides and then detects the features. This method uses the prior knowledge of notes and the existing spectral lines and trunk recognition. In the aspect of note structure analysis, a new method of note structure analysis based on action field is proposed. In this method, the concept of action field in physics is introduced into the relationship expression of note primitives, and the unity of knowledge, generality and accuracy is realized. On this basis, six note substructures are defined, and a note structure analysis model of key structure priority location is established, which realizes the reconstruction of the note base metadata to the note object. This model reflects the thinking habit of highlighting key features and from the whole to the details in manual spectrum recognition. It not only reduces the complexity of analysis, but also has a strong ability of primitive redundancy error removal. The test results show that the overall recognition performance has reached the level of the current excellent commercial music score recognition system, and it has obvious advantages in note recognition, adaptability in different data environments and execution speed.

The evolution of technology-based approaches to music teaching and learning in Australia : A personal journey
The use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) as a tool for teaching and learning both in Australia and overseas is now very much taken for granted across all areas of learning and at all levels of education. But how did this addition to the range of pedagogical means and methods employed in music education come about? This article is written from a dual perspective - as a music education historian and as an early adopter and promoter of technology-based approaches to music education in Australia. The first part of the article is largely autobiographical as I recount my experiences as a tertiary academic with reference to developments in technology infrastructure (hardware and software) and associated pedagogies. In the second part, I refer to recent scholarly opinion on technology in music education and then reflect on future directions and possibilities. Although curricula produced by education authorities advocate the embedding of technology in all learning areas, the inclusion of ICT in curriculum guidelines has been described as 'an afterthought'. It is argued that adoption of technology-based approaches to music learning is reliant on two factors - adequate opportunities for ICT in teacher education, and individual teacher motivation and commitment.

The Systems Concepts Digital Synthesizer: An Architectural Retrospective
In the mid 1970s, specialized hardware for synthesizing digital audio helped computer music research move beyond its early reliance on software synthesis running on slow mainframe computers. This hardware allowed for synthesis of complex musical scores in real time and for dynamic, interactive control of synthesis. Peter Samson developed one such device, the Systems Concepts Digital Synthesizer, for Stanford University's Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics. The \"Samson Box\" addressed the classical problems of digital audio synthesis with an elegance that still rewards study. This article thoroughly examines the principles underlying the Box's design—while considering how it was actually employed by its users—and describes the architecture's advantages and disadvantages. An interview with Samson is included.

Música en el sistema educativo japonés
Al incorporarse la “educación en programación” en cada una de las asignaturas del nivel primario en Japón desde 2020, han surgido interrogantes sobre sus implicaciones en áreas como la educación musical. Esta investigación tiene por objetivos contextualizar dicha reforma en el marco de la historia de la educación musical en Japón y examinar sus conceptos clave con base en documentos curriculares e informes sobre la programación en Música en ese país. Los resultados sugieren que si bien persiste el carácter moralizante que ha revestido la asignatura en Japón desde sus orígenes, integrar la programación propiciaría, sobre todo, modalidades de aprendizaje exploratorio con software y la adopción de términos informáticos en actividades de Música. No obstante, también podría delinear nuevos roles para esta área en el currículo. Lo musical, entonces, resultaría instrumental en el desarrollo de recursos humanos para la sociedad 5.0, modelo socioeconómico proclamado recientemente en Japón.
Since 2020, the incorporation of “programming education” into all elementary school subjects in Japan has raised questions about its implications in areas such as music education. This study aims to contextualize that reform in the history of music education in Japan, as well as to examine its key concepts on the basis of Japanese curricular guidelines and reports on its implementation in music. Findings suggest that, while the moralizing intent of the music curriculum remains, incorporating programming may have favored exploratory learning with software, alongside the adoption of computer science jargon in music activities. However, it may also outline new roles for music as a subject in the school curriculum. In that context, music would serve human resource development needs for the realization of Society 5.0, one of Japan’s latest socioeconomic goals.

Music Instruction Goes Digital
Faced with meager enrollment in band, orchestra, and choir programs, schools are using digital technology to excite students about creating music on today's terms. This article discusses how music educators reinvent their profession by acknowledging and incorporating the way students interact with music today--digitally. Bill Evans, a music teacher at Sherwood High School in Sandy Spring, Maryland, is bringing digital music to middle and high school students through a popular sequence of courses called Music and Its Technology. And then there's Barbara Freedman, a music teacher at Greenwich (Connecticut) High School, who has been updating, expanding, and fine-tuning the electronic music program introduced at the school in 1969--the first of its kind in the country. The majority of American schools have already laid the foundation for a digital music program--they just don't know it. According to Freedman, it's so inexpensive to turn a computer lab into a music technology lab. He recommends focusing on the key pieces of hardware and software that turn each computer into a professional-level electronic music instrument: a digital audio interface device, a MIDI (musical instrument digital interface) keyboard, notation software, and digital audio workstation software.
