从民族音乐学的角度看广东梅州客家《香花》仪式中音乐的运用

广东梅州是客家人的主要居住地,《香花》仪式为广东省梅州一带(梅县为中心,向外辐射到粤东、闽西南、赣南等)客家人广泛使用和认同,且相沿成习的、以本地和尚和斋嫲为仪式的执行者,通过定期与不定期地在庵堂寺庙以及在主家等不同的仪式执行场所,为各种不同需求的人士所举行各种祈福仪式以及为死者所进行的超度仪式活动等。其主要形式以写、打、唱、念、声、色、艺等方式,综合性地宣讲(唱、念)客家特有的佛教精神、儒家思想内涵,并融合道教神祇以及民间礼俗于一体的综合信仰形式。通过实际田野考察,从民族音乐学的角度,以《香花》仪式的声音、音乐和文化的关系作为切入点,研究《香花》仪式中思想(信仰)、行为(仪式)、声音(音乐)三者间的互动关系,探讨《香花》仪式音乐在仪式中的运用问题,具有较高的研究价值。

声音宇宙观:民族音乐学研究中的转换与“内观”

民族音乐学的研究,强调以音乐为基础及扩展整体文化层面的观念转换,即研究者试图发现并基于理解而呈现的一种声音宇宙观(同“声音世界观”)。“声音的观念”是声音宇宙观的核心成分与重要内容。民族音乐学以研究音乐文化为己任,当把音乐作为一种文化时,“宇宙观”就是该文化的最深层内核与元概念。民族音乐学研究在对声音宇宙观的感受、发现、呈现与表达的同时,也展现其学科意义,研究者在此过程中也实现对自我音乐世界观的进一步理解。

Music and Performance as Sonic Acts of Political Struggle; Counter-Political Soundscapes in Urban Realm

The paper takes the relation between soundscapes and power struggles as its problem area and focuses on the role of music that is performed in public protests. It argues that music and street performances are conceived and therefore utilised as sonic acts of political struggle in urban realm. Starting with a general understanding of hearing mechanisms, the study elucidates the relationships among territoriality of soundscape, identity construction, social segregation and polarisation, and finally, power struggle. Within the framework of the intersection area of these concepts, the paper discusses the processes of politisation of soundscape through music as a form of protest event that is performed in public realm. Throughout the paper, it is focused on the significant cases of public protests as well as political events that occured in public space. The main emphasis is on the use of sound technologies to impose power on masses of people. The paper tackles the question of how the salient characteristics of soundscape are sonically adopted as means for counter-political acts in public realm.

Mario Paint： An Accessible Environment of Musical Creativity and Sound Exploration

Mario Paint, the 1992 Nintendo game for the Super NES, remains an accessible environment for musical creativity and sound exploration within its music mode. Although developed for a gaming system, the game＇s music mode is a streamlined tool built upon basic music theory and music composition. Through familiar video game sounds and icon and Westem music notation, players are able to compose chipttme works and explore the nature of sound through an inviting interface. Similar music composition software upgrades the process of composition established in Mario Paint, allowing for digital distribution and dissemination. Mario Paint continues to inspire new projects in the areas of video games and scholastic studies. Mario Paint and its successors are very reasonable entry-level programs for chiptune composers and fledgling music students

Research on the Developmental Trend of Computer Music Technology under the Background of Multi-channel Stereo Recording

In this paper, we conduct research on the developmental trend of the computer music technology under the background of multichannelstereo recording. Surround sound is not only used in the fi lm, home theater, also penetrated the digital TV and digital broadcasting.But because of the limitation of storage media capacity and transmission bandwidth must use all kinds of that audio compression technologyto transmit audio data. As a more general and more practical signifi cance, as masking and by masking sound are not limited to their respectiveresend by a single speaker, but in different proportion to their respective ‘channel sound level is poor. To deal with this issue, this paperintegrates the signal denoising method as the optimization and achieves better performance.

Research on the Accurate Computer Music Composition Mode under the Background of Big Data

In this paper, we conduct research on the accurate computer music composition mode under the basic background of big data. From the perspective of music theory, in terms of micro notes jump within a certain range, will not cause discomfort, notes there are upward at the same time, the downward makes the whole piece will not boring. From the macroscopic, the nature of the chord with internal connection between motivation and motivation as support, at the same time, the whole range can maintain in a certain range, making sound effects is can let a person feel cheerful. Computer science first occupied is music in the music sound production and the propagation of position as it is mainly used for digital audio clips and automated synthesis. But there is a certain distance away from the traditional concept of composition. Therefore, our research proposes the innovative perspective to deal with the issues for achieving the better performance.

The Many Sounds of Civilization

British-American historian Bernard Lewis famously condemned Arab and Islamic civilization for not having a polyphonic sense of music,even accusing them of accepting totalitarian ideologies and regimes because of their taste for"monophonic"music.That is,having one single singer with all the music following the ups and downs of his or her voice.Polyphonic music,by contrast,is when a piece of music has two or more independent melodies in it.As for the related notion of counterpoint,this is from many voices present in the chorus of a classical Greek drama and a reference to the coordination evident in choir singing.
