Abstract

Music technologies reflect the most advanced human technologies in most historical periods. Examples range from 40 thousand years old bone flutes found in caves in the Swabian Jura, through ancient Greek water organs or medieval Arabic musical automata, to today’s electronic and digital instruments with deep learning. Music technologies incorporate the musical ideas of a time and place and they disseminate those ideas when adopted by other musical cultures. This article explores how contemporary music technologies are culturally conditioned and applies the concept of ethno-organology to describe the nature of migration of instruments between musical cultures.

乐器的迁移：音乐进化的社会技术条件

音乐技术反映了大多数历史时期人类最先进的技术。例如，从斯瓦比尤拉洞穴中发现的4万年前的骨笛，到古希腊的水风琴或中世纪的阿拉伯音乐自动机，再到今天具有深度学习功能的电子和数字乐器。音乐技术融合了一个时间和地点的音乐理念，并在被其他音乐文化采用时传播这些理念。本文探讨了当代音乐技术是如何受到文化制约的，并运用民族器官学的概念来描述乐器在音乐文化之间迁移的本质。

期刊介绍： The Journal of New Music Research (JNMR) publishes material which increases our understanding of music and musical processes by systematic, scientific and technological means. Research published in the journal is innovative, empirically grounded and often, but not exclusively, uses quantitative methods. Articles are both musically relevant and scientifically rigorous, giving full technical details. No bounds are placed on the music or musical behaviours at issue: popular music, music of diverse cultures and the canon of western classical music are all within the Journal’s scope. Articles deal with theory, analysis, composition, performance, uses of music, instruments and other music technologies. The Journal was founded in 1972 with the original title Interface to reflect its interdisciplinary nature, drawing on musicology (including music theory), computer science, psychology, acoustics, philosophy, and other disciplines.
