Subject: [AUDITORY] Journal of New Music Research Volume 50, 2021, special issue on Socio-Cultural Role of Technology in Digital Musical Instruments From: =?utf-8?Q?Koray_Tahiro=C4=9Flu?= <koray.tahiroglu@xxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 3 May 2021 11:12:41 +0300--Apple-Mail=_E7A4314A-E8BE-4FBF-B11E-9A3C19C46C04 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Dear all, (apologies for cross-posting) Following the symposium in Helsinki in 2019, a diverse group of expert = scholars, artists, musicians, practitioners continued working together = to open further inquiry into and dialogue about socio-cultural role of = technology in current and emerging digital music practices. Now the content of this work is published as a special issue in Journal = of New Music Research (Guest Editors: Koray Tahiro=C4=9Flu and Thor = Magnusson) https://www.tandfonline.com/toc/nnmr20/50/2?nav=3DtocList = <https://www.tandfonline.com/toc/nnmr20/50/2?nav=3DtocList> and this = special issue is one of the outcomes of Academy Research Fellow project = (no.316549) - http://dmi.aalto.fi <http://dmi.aalto.fi/> You might have access to all the articles though your own institutions, = but I would like to mention that 5 out of 9 articles are open access = publications. In this special issue, Marc Leman investigates the concept of = co-regulating timing in new Bayesian listener algorithm that could = function as a perception module of an artificial musician capable of = interacting with human musicians. Simon Waters's approach on = rediscovering sociality regards instruments as necessarily assemblages = rather than objects and he suggests that in historical terms the = non-standard instrument can be seen to be typical of human/instrument = entanglements. Tarja Rautiainen-Keskustalo debates how the examination = of material media theory could contribute to understanding music-making = as a part of digital networks. Koray Tahiro=C4=9Flu explores our current = relationship with music further through a particular AI powered = autonomous musical instrument and argues that music-making still emerges = as a social construct, a social activity even as a result of the mutual = cooperation with human musicians and autonomous instruments. Don Ihde = looks at selected examples of player-instrument relations beginning with = a single string and moves to digital synthesisers, questioning how = changes in musical technologies play roles in the social dimensions of = musical instruments. Thor Magnusson looks into the question of how = musical instruments establish themselves as part of culture and = discusses music-technical transmission through using the conceptual = cluster of ergodynamics, ergomimetics and ergophors. Claudia Molitor = engages in a conversation with Thor Magnusson, on certain aspects of her = work, discussing the idea of designing technology in the process of = creating the social experience that is embodied by a new musical = composition. Taina Riikonen looks into digital anthropology by = conceptualising multi-sensory listening in large-scale city sonic = environments and presents listening as an embodied, social and = transforming phenomenon through the binaural recordings of Helsinki = Metro tunnels.=20 Hope you will enjoy reading the special issue, Best, Koray ------------------------------------- M.Koray Tahiro=C4=9Flu Department of Media, Aalto University School of Arts, Design and Architecture http://sopi.aalto.fi/ http://dmi.aalto.fi/ https://sopi.aalto.fi/koraytahiroglu/ tel. +358 50 4088441= --Apple-Mail=_E7A4314A-E8BE-4FBF-B11E-9A3C19C46C04 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/html;
