ABSTRACTS

AI-generated soundscapes for stress reduction: From the intensive care unit to the library

Michael Frishkopf

How can AI-generated soundscapes help reduce stress, from patients in the Intensive Care Unit to university students studying in a library? The ICU is acutely stressful for patients, increasing mortality and impeding recovery. Sedatives are largely ineffective, expensive, and laden with side effects. Music and sound therapies are effective, economical, and safe. Optimal soundscapes vary by patient, and over time; ideally each patient’s sonic environment should be adjusted continuously. But music therapists are scarce; patients are often immobile or unconscious. An autonomous feedback control system is indicated: Autonomous Adaptive Soundscapes, applying reinforcement learning to optimize therapeutic soundscapes for a single patient, guided by autonomic biosignals. University campuses are also highly stressful environments, producing mental health issues far beyond the capacity of university therapists. Most students rely instead on self-care, listening to music or soundscapes through headphones. But continuously adjusting one’s soundscape is distracting, while personal listening devices contribute to social isolation. Modifying AAS, we have designed a multiuser system called Mindful Social Listening: students study, chat, or relax in a library hall equipped with a high-fidelity speaker array. Feedback via mobile phone enables reinforcement learning to optimize a soundscape mix for hall occupants. Experimentation on both systems is presently underway.

Applying ethnomusicology: from the study of people making music to the study of beings making sound

Jeff Todd Titon, Brown University, USA

My work in applied ethnomusicology has moved in the past dozen years from the arena of people making music to the more inclusive arena of beings making sound. Since my appeal for a sound commons for all living creatures (2012) and my essay on the sound of climate change (2016) I’ve been thinking about this new field of eco-ethnomusicology (the term is Jennifer Post’s) and its possible applications amidst the current climate emergency. Among the relevant topics are the expressive sonic cultures of more-than-human beings (2021); traditional, scientific, and Indigenous ecological methods helpful in understanding them; and the applications of those understandings to activism and policy.

The work of return: Digital media, sustainability, and applied ethnomusicology

Sally Treloyn, University of Melbourne, Australia

Over the past twenty-five years, use of digital technologies for the practice, preservation, and transmission of music, within remote Indigenous populations in Australia, has increased exponentially. There has also been increased attention in ethnomusicology to access to digital collections within the communities from which they originate. Use of digital media by singers and dancers to aid the continuation and recovery of song has continued to proliferate through this time, and repatriation of digital records has subsequently become almost ubiquitous in Australian ethnomusicology.

Much has been learnt from this heterogeneous work of return. Sharing insights from applied ethnomusicological research undertaken in the Kimberley region of northwest Australia with practitioners of a dance-song-storytelling genre known as Junba, this presentation explores: aspects of the social life of digital media and implications for storage and dissemination; examples of use of digital media to reclaim and/or continue practices; and, challenges faced by singers, dancers, and others, as they work with digital recordings due to limitations of format and storage. Reflecting on the theme ‘Why I do applied ethnomusicology’, I consider how ethnomusicological approaches to the work of return may respond to local ways of holding song with digital media, and thus contribute to local practices of sustainability and thrivance.

ABSTRACT

AI 產生的減輕壓力聲音景觀:從重症監護室到圖書館

邁克爾·弗里什科普夫

從重症監護室的患者到在圖書館學習的大學生,AI產生的聲音景觀如何幫助減輕壓力? 重症監護室對患者來說壓力很大,增加死亡率並阻礙康復。 鎮靜劑在很大程度上是無效的,昂貴,而且帶有副作用。 音樂和音療有效、經濟、安全。 最佳音景因病人而異,隨著時間的推移而異;理想情況下,每個病人的音速環境應該持續調整。 但音樂治療師很稀少;患者往往不動或意識不清。 自主回饋控制系統表示:自主適應聲音景觀,應用強化學習來優化單一病人的治療聲音景觀,由自主生物信號引導。 大學校園也是高度壓力的環境,產生的心理健康問題遠遠超出大學治療師的能力。 大多數學生依賴自理,透過耳機聽音樂或聲音景觀。 但持續調整自己的聲音景觀會讓人分心,而個人聆聽設備則有助於社交孤立。 修改AAS,我們設計了一套名為Mindful Social Listening的多使用者系統:學生在配有高保真揚聲器陣列的圖書館大廳裡學習、聊天或放鬆。 透過手機的反饋使強化學習能夠優化大廳居住者的聲音景觀組合。 目前正在進行兩種系統的實驗。

應用民族音樂學:從研究人們製作音樂到研究眾生製作聲音

Jeff Todd Titon,美國布朗大學

我在應用民族音樂學的工作在過去十幾年,從人們製作音樂的競技場轉移到更具包容性的眾生製作聲音的競技場。 自從我呼籲所有生物的健全通訊(2012年)和關於氣候變化的聲音的文章(2016年)以來,我一直在思考這個新的生態民族音樂學領域(術語是珍妮佛·波斯特的)以及在當前氣候緊急狀態中可能的應用。 相關主題中包括比人類更具表現性的音速文化(2021);傳統、科學、原住民生態方法有助於理解它們;以及理解應用於激進主義和政策。

回歸工作:數位媒體、永續性、應用民族音樂學

Sally Treloyn,澳大利亞墨爾本大學

過去二十五年來,在澳大利亞偏遠的土著人口中,使用數位技術來練習、保存和傳播音樂的使用率指數上升。 民族音樂學上也越來越關注他們源自社區的數位收藏。 歌手和舞者使用數位媒體來幫助歌曲的延續和恢復,這段時間持續擴散,數位唱片的遣返也隨後在澳大利亞民族音樂學中幾乎無所不在。

從這個異質的回歸工作中學到了很多。 分享來自澳大利亞西北部金伯利地區的應用民族音樂學研究,與一種稱為Junba的舞蹈歌曲講故事類型的從業者分享的見解,本次演講探討了:數位媒體的社會生活的方面以及儲存和傳播的影響;使用數位媒體重新找回和/或繼續的例子 練習;以及,歌手、舞者和其他人面臨的挑戰,因為他們與數位錄音合作,因為格式和儲存的限制。 反思「我為什麼要應用民族音樂學」這個主題,我考慮民族音樂學如何面對回歸工作的方式,以數位媒體來回應當地舉辦歌曲的方式,進而促進地方的永續發展與蓬勃發展。
