LATAR BELAKANG DAN KARAKTERISTIK PERKEMBANGAN BAKAT ISTIMEWA MENARI

From so many special talents, one of it is dance. Learn, knowing, and study the background and the characteristics of someone who have a talented dancing is a kind of interesting activity, which has a purpose to identify the characteristics of someone who have a talent to dance with more easily. Directly, this thing can make a faster progress for someone’s special talent, facilitate, and improve it to be more maximal without using the dancer audition, which spends more time. Even though the dance auditions is disabled, this method will not decrease the dancer’s quality in personally (it can still create such amazing achievement) This research use a quantitative approach with life history method. The research's subjects are 2 peoples who have the talented dancing. Interview is the method that is used to collect the needed data. The research's procedures divided into two fases, pre­activity fase and whilst­activity fase. The data analysis itself, divided into three parts, first is data reduction, second is data display, and the last one is conclusion drawing or verification. After all, to check the data validity, the researcher use the triangulate technique, which is source triangulate that is collected from the closest friend of the subjects. From the result of research data, it is concluded that the background and the progress characteristics from both subject is using the discipline method in all their daily activities. Moreover, both subjects’ parents also give a full support, not only in physically side, but also from psychological side to the subjects. Both subjects are coming from the famous art school and well –known dance institution in Solo and Yogyakarta. That is why; both subjects have their own specification in creating a new kind of dancing style, that is Java’s dancing style and new creation dancing, just from looking their surrounding environment. In addition, they can also create the background music for their dance only in a short moment. The progress characteristics of childhood age of both subjects have already fulfilled and connected with art. They have already known and listened the Java’s traditional music instrument and spontaneous they dance by following the played music. On the elementary school age, they have already followed the dance competition and often presented their dancing ability in the art stage performance in their school. On the teen age, both subjects have fulfilled the requirements as the good dancer and they can obtain a deep understanding on the performed dance. The early­age of adult, both subjects could perform all the dancing movement technique and they could also create such spectacular new dancing style. On the mid­age of adult, both subjects’ movement still look flexible and smooth, then, they can still make the dance and background music too

Teknik Pengenalan Suara Musik pada Robot Seni Tari

The dancing robot has become an annual competition in Indonesia that needs to be developed to improve robot performance. The dancing robot is a humanoid robot that has 24 degrees of freedom. For 2018 the theme raised was "Remo Dancer Robot". Sound processing provides a very important role in dance robots. This robot moves dancing to adjust to the rhythm of the music. The robot will stop dancing when the music is mute. The resulting sound signal is still analogous. Voice signals must be changed to digital data to access the signal. Convert analog to digital signals using Analog Digital Converter (ADC). ADC data is taken by sampling time 254 data per second. The sampling data is stored and grouped per 1 second to classify the parts of Remo Dance music. The results of data classification are in the form of digital numbers which then become a reference to determine the movement of the robot. Robots can recognize conditions when music is in a mute or a play condition

A soundtrack to the insurrection : street music, marching bands and popular protest

What happens in social movements when people actually move, how does the mobile moment of activism contribute to mobilisation? Are they marching or dancing? How is the space of action, the street itself, altered, re-sounded? The employment of street music in the very specific context of political protest remains a curiously under-researched aspect of cultural politics in social movements.... By looking at the marching bands of different socio- political and cultural contexts, primarily British, I aim to further current understanding of the idea and history of street music itself, as well as explore questions of the construction or repositioning of urban space via music'how the sound of music can alter spaces'; participation, pleasure and the political body; subculture and identity

After Digitisation, What Next? Suggested Guidelines for the Sale, Reproduction and Repatriation of Digital Deritage

In order to give you a glimpse of the International Library of African Music (ILAM), its origin, and how it exists today, a DVD that briefly tells the story has been uploaded to the Internet for readers to view. In addition to information about Hugh Tracey, the founder of ILAM, and our collections, you will see performances in ILAM’s small outdoor amphitheatre. These are, first, Venda Tshikona reed pipe dancing; then a Chopi timbila orchestra from Mozambique; performance of amadinda xylophone music from Uganda; Shona mibra music; and, finally, some Pedi Dinaka reed pipe dancing. I hope this video will give you a clearer idea of Hugh Tracey's legacy for African music. To access the ILAM DVD, go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtnqPaT2wv

Musicality in Infancy

The present review summarizes the available evidence on musicality, or music-related abilities, in infants (birth to 3 years). In the early months of life, infants are responsive to the pitch and temporal patterns of music. Their perceptual skills are similar, in many respects, to those of adults, presumably because of the nature of the human auditory system. Adult-infant differences, where evident, are attributable to infants’ unfamiliarity with the musical conventions of their culture. Musical enculturation proceeds more rapidly for temporal than for pitch processing. Musical exposure, especially the singing of caregivers, is prevalent in infancy. Caregivers’ music-making for infants has consequences for their emotional and social regulation and for their subsequent self-regulation abilities. By the end of their first year, most infants have become music-makers as well as music listeners. They move spontaneously to music, and their patterns of “dancing” undergo considerable change in the subsequent months and years. Early dancing is influenced by the familiarity of the music, and later dancing may include aspects of caregivers’ dance movements. Although the onset of singing occurs considerably later than the onset of dance, early singing is remarkably accurate in terms of its pitch range, pitch contours, rhythmic patterning, and fluency, especially when infants sing in their familiar home environment

This trembling black robot swan which sometimes moves smoothly and gently, sometimes in a dramatic and fiery manner to Tchaikovsky´s majestic music is inspired by Edgar Degas’ sculpture The little fourteen year old dancer (1881), and is made from wax, bobbinet and silk ribbon.  This birdlike body vibrates with electronic life and has the unattainable dream of dancing as prima ballerina on a grand stage.  The music is a re-modelling of Rothbart’s theme from the Swan lake where both the ocean and the orchestra have been caressed and yet at the same time smacked by music technology.ROBOCYGNEThis trembling black robot swan which sometimes moves smoothly and gently, sometimes in a dramatic and fiery manner to Tchaikovsky´s majestic music is inspired by Edgar Degas’ sculpture The little fourteen year old dancer (1881), and is made from wax, bobbinet and silk ribbon.

The music is a re-modelling of Rothbart’s theme from the Swan lake where both the ocean and the orchestra have been caressed and yet at the same time smacked by music technology.The dance has been created by a hands - on process where the robot body parts have been manipulated one by one to the music by the choreographer, in four recordings. The body consists of two light metal wings embellished with black feathers, a torso of aluminium, black bobbinet and circuit cards, a vertically adjustable leg, a very flexible neck together with a beak made of eight servo engines.
