We explored designs with guitarists through co-design and somaesthetic design workshops, learning that they (unsurprisingly) preferred to focus on playing their guitars and keeping their instruments’ material integrity intact. Subsequently, we devised an interactive guitar strap controller, which guitarists found promising for tackling encumbered interaction during instrumental transcription, learning and practice. Our design process highlights three strategies: considering postural interaction, applying somaesthetic design to interactive music technology development, and augmenting guitar accessories.","PeriodicalId":16553,"journal":{"name":"Journal of New Music Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135092594","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Historically <i>rāgas</i> are broadly classified into two sets, namely <i>Janaka</i> (root/parent) and <i>Janya</i> (derived/offspring) <i>rāgas</i>. Every <i>janya rāga</i> is derived from a unique parent. We examine this classification critically and attempt to provide a quantitative basis for such a classification by defining a ‘distance’ between <i>rāgas</i>. The shortest identifies the parentage. Each <i>rāga</i> is defined by a pitch histogram vector in a 12-dimensional space. To achieve consensus, different distance metrics are used in the multi-dimensional space. Using a standard data set (refer to section 4.4), we carry out the distance analysis using entire compositions, which we subsequently fine-tune using only the parts of compositions that contain all the features of the <i>rāga</i>. We also perform an independent analysis for comparing the motif sequences in <i>rāgas</i>. We find that while the conventional method (refer to section 3) is fairly robust, there are exceptions, especially with pentatonic <i>rāgas</i>, and that these exceptions are actively debated in the public domain. Since quantitative methods find it difficult to achieve consensus, we conclude that while a <i>rāga</i> belongs to a family, it does not necessarily belong to a unique parent.</p>","PeriodicalId":16553,"journal":{"name":"Journal of New Music Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50167546","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
