Дальневосточный обряд «Медвежий праздник» в пространстве музыкально-компьютерных технологий

In the present article music computer technologies are examined as an instrument of preservation, modeling, and construction of lost timbres, intonational models and sound spaces. The musical sequencer, which is one of the basic elements of contemporary music computer technologies, is perceived within the frameworks of comprehension of the theory of the “complex model of the semantical space of music.” The possibility of reconstruction (or, simply, construction) of the previously existent sound semantic space, or the creation of a new space by means of a sequencer, is examined. An example of such a reconstruction of the ritual of the Bear Holiday pertaining to the peoples of the Russian Far-East is presented on the basis of a variation-rondo-type poly-structural composition consisting of several different movements. The development of a complex model of the semantic space of music is recognized as one of the topical conceptions of understanding the contemporary processes in the sphere of computer music technologies. The authors arrive at the conclusion about the possibility (and the necessity) of a special type of construction by means of a sequencer of sound semantic spaces of lost traditional rites, as well as the reconstruction of the timbres, manners of intonating and sound effects. Special mention is made of the potential for forming a new unique structure of a musical space existing with the aid of a sequencer. Keywords: Bear Holiday, sound beam, music computer technologies, integrative model for the semantic space of music, sequencer.

The integrative model for the semantic space of music and a contemporary musical educational process

The advent of computer technology has led to the creation and development of new forms of teaching musical art. The emergence of music computer technologies (MCT) was the basis for creating both new forms in the educational process and new subjects, the appearance of new disciplines and new educational trends in the system of a contemporary musical education. These new subjects, such as “Musical Informatics,” “Computer Music Creative Work,” “Computer Arrangement and Composition, Sound and Timbre Programming,” “Electronic Musical Instruments” and many others, fully reflect the essence of the changes that have occurred in approaches to the study of music art. This article analyzes the possibility of including an integrative model for the semantic space of music, developed with the participation of the prominent cybernetics, scientist Mikhail Borisovich Ignatyev, in a contemporary musical educational process.

Research on Music Education Model by Using Computer Music Technology in Colleges

Against the background of new teaching conditions and the rapid development of computer technology, computer music technology serves as the important method in modern music teaching. The object of this article is to have a study of the methods and models of university music education under the reform of technology in computer music. In this article, students majoring music majors and non-music majors of the Art University are the subject of the survey. They are divided into professional classes (N=50) and non-professional classes (N=50). The professional classes use computer music technology for practical teaching, and Non-professional classes use traditional music to teach. After the experiment, the degree of mastery of the music professional knowledge of the two classes and the acceptance of computer music teaching and traditional music teaching methods were investigated and analyzed. The results of the study show that the introduction of computer music production technology can motivate students to participate in learning, allowing students to experience the charm of music and enrich the content of music knowledge in an intuitive and vivid situation.

The discipline of Musical Informatics, which has been constantly developing since the mid-70s (IRCAM, France), can have a significant impact on the formation of subject knowledge of musicians associated with the development of new music computer technologies and their use in creativity and training.

Музыкально-компьютерные технологии в образовании как инструмент реализации полимодальности музыкального восприятия

The article reveals the psychological aspects of the perception of music and interaction with it when using music computer technologies, which are a software and hardware complex (musical computer, keyboard synthesizer, DJ console, smartphone with sound programs, etc.) in conjunction with the methodology of its application in creativity and in music training. Revealing the contradictions that are typical for the educational field “Art: Music”, the authors propose and use in their research an interdisciplinary approach (psychology, neurophysiology, pedagogy, computer science and Information & Communication Technology) in a holistic consideration of the phenomenon of music in connection with the phenomenon and processes of its perception, creation, and translation. The main problem is identified as the need to identify and take into account the psychophysiological factors that affect a person when interacting with music. The goal is to study the effect of convergence of the music computer technologies, manifested through the phenomenon of polymodality of perception of an artistic image is solved through the analysis of existing interpretations of polymodality, related connotations and classifications of synesthesia, using examples of technological and cultural manifestations of the polymodal nature of perception (syncretism of arts, associativity as a method of interpretation of an artistic image). Discussed insights on the future prospects of the study of polymodality of perception and representation of the artistic image of a musical work as one of the key features actualized in music computer technologies the effect of convergence and to explore the effect of virtualization, the use of potential of these technologies and multimodal nature of human perception for the holistic understanding of works of art.
