Valuing Electronic Music research project: public event in London, 6th June
Dear all, we would like to invite you to our Valuing Electronic Music event in London on 6th June.
Valuing Electronic Music is an ongoing study of electronic music and the people who value it, carried out by Daniel Allington (Open University), Anna Jordanous (King's College, London), and Byron Dueck (Open University). Our quantitative and qualitative work explores how the value of electronic music transcends economic value for producers, DJs, and audiences — and how geographical location continues to play a significant role in the recognition of musical value even where musical scenes become increasingly international (thanks in large part to websites such as SoundCloud). Such findings have implications for the careers of music-makers more generally as well as contributing to understanding how and why we show our appreciation of musicians.
On 6 June, we are holding a public event at The Lexington in Angel, Islington, featuring talks, live performances, and an interactive panel discussion with electronic music producers. Come along to find out what we and other researchers have discovered, as well as to hear some great music and to put your own questions to the people who make it. You are welcome to drop in at any time.

and https://www.facebook.com/events/789716061048357/
The Valuing Electronic Music project combines social network analysis of online data with ethnographic interviewing and observation to understand how music-makers produce value for their own and one another's work, especially in genres without mainstream recognition. It is currently supported by an AHRC Research Development Grant. See our website at www.open.ac.uk/vem/ for more details.
Hope to see you there, feel free to forward this as you see appropriate. Please do contact us if you have any questions/comments.
Regards,
Anna Jordanous

Music Informatics Group Seminar, 20th May, 4pm, "Models of music signals informed by the physics of instruments"
Title: Models of music signals informed by the physics of instruments
Abstract:
While instrumental acoustics and audio signal processing target the modelling of musical tones from different perspectives, this work aims at mixing both approaches by constraining generic signal models with acoustics-based information. Thus, it is intended to design instrument-specific models for applications both to acoustics and signal processing. In particular, I focused on piano music analysis for which the tones have the well-known property of inharmonicity that strongly influences the tuning. I will present two Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) variants accounting for the inharmonic structure of piano tones and their application to 1) the estimation of the inharmonicity coefficient and the F0 in a supervised context both in monophonic/polyphonic conditions, and 2) to a polyphonic transcription task from which we investigate the influence of the inharmonicity inclusion in NMF-based models over a simpler harmonic model. I will then introduce a model of inharmonicity and piano tuning along the whole compass of pianos, based on invariants in design and tuning rules. Beyond analysis applications, I will show the usefulness of this model for providing tuning curves for out-of-tune pianos or physically-based synthesizers, for initializing the parameters of analysis algorithms, and finally for interpolating the inharmonicity and tuning of pianos along the whole compass from the analysis of a polyphonic recording containing only a few notes. Finally, I will give directions for further extensions of this work. In particular, I will discuss an application to the guitar for which the estimation of the inharmonicity may be used to retrieve the position of the fingers along the neck in applications to “audio to tablature” transcription.

CFP Understanding Scotland Musically, 21st October, Newcastle University
AHRC sponsored one day conference, 21st October 2014, Research
Beehive, Newcastle University.
UNDERSTANDING SCOTLAND MUSICALLY
http://www.musicalmeaning.com/home/conference
With a keynote address from
Dr Gary West
'Understanding Scotland Musically: Do we? Can we?'
Scottish traditional music has been through a successful revival and
has now entered a professionalized and public space. Devolution in the
UK, and the rapid expansion of the New Europe have led to a rise of
importance of regional and national identities within the context of
globalization of musical communities. What was once considered kitsch
tartanry has been re-mythologized and now hybrid sounds from Scottish
musicians portray a newer, emergent sense of national identity.
Increasingly, musicians are performing deterritorialized and
commodified music which is shifting attention away from musical
provenance and authentic ideology towards more transient sonic
identities and blurring established musical genres. This conference
seeks to explore how contemporary traditional music performs
Scottishness at this crucial moment in the public life of an
increasingly (dis)United Kingdom. We are interested in papers that
deal with the relationship(s) between Scottish traditional music (or
Scottish folk music) and: the musical politics of identity; public
policy for the arts, tourism and their policy makers; education; the
Scottish and UK media; alternative public conceptions of Scottishness;
the wider Scottish traditional arts; the independence referendum;
other creative practices and their audiences. We hope to take forward
a selection of papers from this conference for publication as a book
edited by Dr Simon McKerrell (Newcastle University) and Dr Gary West.
(Edinburgh University).
Conference host: Dr Simon McKerrell
Papers will be 20 minutes plus 10 minutes for discussion. In addition
to individual papers, suggestions for panel topics are welcome. Panels
exploring a particular issue around the theme are encouraged, and
these would receive one hour including paper presentations and
discussion.
The deadline for submissions is Friday the 2nd May 2014.
Please submit your abstract(s) for consideration (max 300 words) to
Simon McKerrell (simon.mckerrell@ncl.ac.uk). For panel submissions,
please submit both an abstract for the whole panel and abstracts for
each individual paper. The conference is supported by the AHRC and is
free for presenters. To register as a non-presenting delegate (£20),
please email simon.mckerrell@ncl.ac.uk.

revive and survive. If you want to know more about our activity,
please visit our website www.musikmph.de. There you find the catalogue
of our study scores which will allow a survey of the fundamental idea
of our publication work.
