    Abstract : Since late 2006, several small media projects have emerged in the slums of Nairobi with the aim to counterbalance the ignorance from mainstream media, provide the slums residents with news, information and an opportunity to voice their needs and discuss relevant issues. These media are best labelled community media, since their main concern is to serve the interests of the community, in this context the slums. READ MORE

  5. 3. Never Heard Before: A Musical Exploration of Organ Voicing

    Author : João Segurado; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; voicing; voicing; sound; listening; pipe; organ; tone; musical composition; musical performance; experimental; collaboration; artistic research; ethnography; musique concrète; transient; attack; steady-state; ; harmonic spectrum; languid; toe-hole; mouth; flue; reed; Studio Acusticum; Gerald Woehl; Piteå;

    Abstract : This study describes the role of organ sounds in musical performance and exa- mines the visions and artistic perspectives of the voicer, who creates the sounds, and the organist, who uses them in performance. Organ pipe sounds are shaped in a process of gradual transformation called voicing, to suit the practice of musical performance, and they influence that practice in significant ways. READ MORE

  6. 4. Sound Quality of Flue Organ Pipe. An Interdisciplinary Study on the Art of Voicing

    Author : Vincent Rioux; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; listening tests; psychoacoustics; verbal descriptors; flue organ pipes; musical acoustics; sound quality; deterministic stochastic separation; timbre; time-frequency analysis;

    Abstract : This thesis presents a research study carried out in collaboration with a department of applied acoustics, a department of musical acoustics and an organ workshop. The description of the sound quality of flue organ pipes has received fairly little attention either in organ-building or scientific literature, despite its importance in the overall quality of the instrument, probably due to the difficulties inherent in doing so.

  7. 5. The acquisition of contrast : a longitudinal investigation of initial s+plosive cluster development in Swedish children

    Author : Fredrik Karlsson; Kirk P. H. Sullivan; Peter E. Czigler; Marilyn M. Vihman; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; phonological contrast; speech development; place and manner of articulation; aspiration; structural complexity; acoustic cues; homonym production; Phonetics; Fonetik;

    Abstract : This Thesis explores the development of word-initial s+plosive consonant clusters in the speech of Swedish children between the ages of 1;6 and 4;6. Development in the word-initial consonant clusters is viewed as being determined by 1) the children’s ability to articulate the target sequence of consonants, 2) the level of understanding of which acoustic features in the adult model production are significant for the signalling of the intended distinction, and 3) the children’s ability to apply established production patterns only to productions where the acquired feature agrees with the adult target, to achieve a contrast between rival output forms.
