This highly interdisciplinary analysis includes theoretical and practical considerations – from blockchain technology and digital platform commerce to artificial intelligence and the future of work to sustainability and political ecology – as well as contemporary philosophical paradigms guiding its investigation through three main lenses: How can music work as a conceptual tool to interrogate and respond to our changing global environment? How have transformations in our digital environment affected how we produce distribute and consume music? How does music relate to matters of political ecology and environmental change? Within this framework music is positioned as a starting point from which to examine a range of contexts and environments offering new perspectives on contemporary technological and ecological discourse.

Mathematical Music From Antiquity to Music AI

Mathematical Music From Antiquity to Music AI

Mathematical Music offers a concise and easily accessible history of how mathematics was used to create music. The story presented in this short engaging volume ranges from ratios in antiquity to random combinations in the 17th century 20th-century statistics and contemporary artificial intelligence. This book provides a fascinating panorama of the gradual mechanization of thought processes involved in the creation of music. How did Baroque authors envision a composition system based on combinatorics? What was it like to create musical algorithms at the beginning of the 20th century before the computer became a reality? And how does this all explain today’s use of artificial intelligence and machine learning in music? In addition to discussing the history and the present state of mathematical music Braguinski also takes a look at what possibilities the near future of music AI might hold for listeners musicians and the society. Grounded in research findings from musicology and the history of technology and written for the non-specialist general audience this book helps both student and professional readers to make sense of today’s music AI by situating it in a continuous historical context. | Mathematical Music From Antiquity to Music AI

What is Music Literacy?

What is Music Literacy?

What is Music Literacy? attempts to redefine music literacy with a more expansive meaning than is commonly in use and to articulate the potential impact of these ideas on music teaching practice. The notion of music literacy has involved the ability to read and write music scores. However this understanding does not extend theory to identify all music texts nor to offer a thorough treatment of what impact an expanded notion of music literacy might have on music instruction in the classroom and in ensembles. This book provides a formal expansive redefinition of music literacy. The author offers practical ideas for attending more effectively to music literacy in classroom instruction. The book highlights common elements in the music classroom: the music score the conductor surrounding ensemble members the musical model the musical instrument and presentations/recordings. It also describes four orientations that correspond to the National Core Music Standards (2014) and that characterize humans’ interactions with music: creator performer responder and connector. What is Music Literacy? uses these orientations along with a focus on authentic music texts and literacies to present literacy-based guidelines for music education along with numerous vignettes that describe actual literacy instructional events. | What is Music Literacy?

Pattern in Music

Pattern in Music

This book presents analyses of pattern in music from different computational and mathematical perspectives. A central purpose of music analysis is to represent discover and evaluate repeated structures within single pieces or within larger corpora of related pieces. In the chapters of this book music corpora are structured as monophonic melodies polyphony or chord sequences. Patterns are represented either extensionally as locations of pattern occurrences in the music or intensionally as sequences of pitch or chord features rhythmic profiles geometric point sets and logical expressions. The chapters cover both deductive analysis where music is queried for occurrences of a known pattern and inductive analysis where patterns are found using pattern discovery algorithms. Results are evaluated using a variety of methods including visualization contrasting corpus analysis and reference to known and expected patterns. Pattern in Music will be a key resource for academics researchers and advanced students of music musicology music analyses mathematical music theory computational musicology and music informatics. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Mathematics and Music.

Music Education for Social Change Constructing an Activist Music Education

Music Education for Social Change Constructing an Activist Music Education

Music Education for Social Change: Constructing an Activist Music Education develops an activist music education rooted in principles of social justice and anti-oppression. Based on the interviews of 20 activist-musicians across the United States and Canada the book explores the common themes perceptions and philosophies among them positioning these activist-musicians as catalysts for change in music education while raising the question: amidst racism and violence targeted at people who embody difference how can music education contribute to changing the social climate? Music has long played a role in activism and resistance. By drawing upon this rich tradition educators can position activist music education as part of a long-term response to events as a crucial initiative to respond to ongoing oppression and as an opportunity for youth to develop collective expressive and critical thinking skills. This emergent activist music education—like activism pushing toward social change—focuses on bringing people together expressing experiences and identifying (and challenging) oppressions. Grounded in practice with examples integrated throughout the text Music Education for Social Change is an imperative and urgent consideration of what may be possible through music and music education. | Music Education for Social Change Constructing an Activist Music Education

Live Electronic Music Composition Performance Study

Live Electronic Music Composition Performance Study

During the twentieth century electronic technology enabled the explosive development of new tools for the production performance dissemination and conservation of music. The era of the mechanical reproduction of music has rather ironically opened up new perspectives which have contributed to the revitalisation of the performer’s role and the concept of music as performance. This book examines questions related to music that cannot be set in conventional notation reporting and reflecting on current research and creative practice primarily in live electronic music. It studies compositions for which the musical text is problematic that is non-existent incomplete insufficiently precise or transmitted in a nontraditional format. Thus at the core of this project is an absence. The objects of study lack a reliably precise graphical representation of the work as the composer or the composer/performer conceived or imagined it. How do we compose perform and study music that cannot be set in conventional notation? The authors of this book examine this problem from the complementary perspectives of the composer the performer the musical assistant the audio engineer the computer scientist and the musicologist. | Live Electronic Music Composition Performance Study

Ubiquitous Music Ecologies

Ubiquitous Music Ecologies

Ubiquitous music is an interdisciplinary area of research that lies at the intersection of music and computer science. Initially evolving from the related concept of ubiquitous computing today ubiquitous music offers a paradigm for understanding how the everyday presence of computers has led to highly diverse music practices.

This volume explores how these new systems interact and how they may transform our musical experiences. Emerging out of the work of the Ubiquitous Music Group an international research network established in 2007 this volume provides a snapshot of the ecologically grounded perspectives on ubiquitous music that share the concept of ecosystem as a central theme. Covering theory software and hardware design and applications in educational and artistic settings each chapter features in-depth descriptions of exploratory and cutting-edge creative practices that expand our understanding of music making by means of digital and analogue technologies. | Ubiquitous Music Ecologies
