Hearing Transcendence: Distorted Iconism in Tōru Takemitsu’s Film Music

Signs and Society, 2014
AbstractTōru Takemitsu (1930–96), dean of Japanese composers, wrote scores for 100 films. In many cases, he faced the task of giving presence to an unseen, suprahuman force or being. This article deploys musical semiotics and topic theory to examine a gesture I call “distorted iconism,” in which an aural resemblance is altered so as to suggest ...

Degree theory for 4‐dimensional asymptotically conical gradient expanding solitons

Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, EarlyView.
Abstract We develop a new degree theory for 4‐dimensional, asymptotically conical gradient expanding solitons. Our theory implies the existence of gradient expanding solitons that are asymptotic to any given cone over S3$S^3$ with non‐negative scalar curvature. We also obtain a similar existence result for cones whose link is diffeomorphic to S3/Γ$S^3/\

Preferred levels for background ducking to produce esthetically pleasing audio for TV with clear speech [PDF]

, 2019
In audio production, background ducking facilitates speech intelligibility while allowing the background to fulfill its purpose, e.g., to create ambience, set the mood, or convey semantic cues.

Nice‐to‐Have or Must‐Have? Revisiting the Corporate Sustainability–Customer Loyalty Relationship Across Generations

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study revisits the relationship between environmental and social sustainability and customer loyalty, integrating both sufficiency and necessity theoretical perspectives within a generational framework. It examines whether generational differences moderate these relationships and whether these sustainability dimensions act not only as ...

A Quantitative Evaluation of Signal Masking in Summed and Compressed Audio [PDF]

, 2014
In music production, it is common practice to apply dynamic-range compression to audio signals. Traditionally, the operator’s attention is drawn to the reduction in dynamic range and the sonic signature imposed by the envelope (settings) of the device ...

Towards a Conceptual Integration of Collective Victimization Beliefs and Their Variation Within and Across Contexts: A Q Methodology Study in Five Communities

European Journal of Social Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although social psychological research on how people understand collective victimization often examines comparisons between groups’ suffering, studies on related concepts (e.g., collective trauma) suggest numerous other relevant beliefs. The present article aimed to integrate diverse collective victimization beliefs and contribute to their ...

Inpainting of long audio segments with similarity graphs

, 2018
We present a novel method for the compensation of long duration data loss in audio signals, in particular music. The concealment of such signal defects is based on a graph that encodes signal structure in terms of time-persistent spectral similarity.
