the epic of gilgamesh in sumerian
Bookmarked 547 weeks ago
the epic of gilgamesh is the earliest great work of literature that we know of and was first written down by the sumerians around 2100 bc ancient sumer was the land that lay between the two rivers the tigris and euphrates in mesopotamia the language that the sumerians spoke was unrelated to the semitic languages of their neighbors the akkadians and babylonians and it was written in a syllabary a kind of alphabet called quotcuneiformquot by 2000 bc the language of sumer had almost completely died out and was used only by scholars like latin is today no one knows how it was pronounced because it has not been heard in 4000 yearswhat you hear in this video are a few of the opening lines of part of the epic poem accompanied only by a long-neck three-string sumerian lute known as a quotgish-gu-diquot the instrument is tuned to g - g - d and although it is similar to other long neck lutes still in use today the tar the setar the saz etc the modern instruments are low tension and strung with fine steel wire the ancient long neck lutes such as the egyptian quotneferquot were strung with gut and behaved slightly differently the short-neck lute known as the quotoudquot is strung with gutnylon and its sound has much in common with the ancient long-neck lute although the oud is not a fretted instrument and its strings are much shorter about 25 inches or 63 cm as compared to 32 inches 82 cm on a long-neck instrument for anyone interested in these lutes i highly recommend the archaeomusicology of the ancient near east by professor richard dumbrill the location for this performance is the courtyard of nebuchadnezzar039s palace in babylon the piece is four minutes long and is intended only as a taste of what the music of ancient sumer might have sounded like

mogees - gesture recognition with contact-microphones
Bookmarked 727 weeks ago
in this video we show how it is possible to perform gesture recognition just with contact microphones and transform every surface into an interactive boardthrough gesture recognition techniques we detect different kind of fingers-touch and associate them with different sounds in the video we used two different audio synthesis techniques: 1- physic modelling which consists in generating the sound by simulating physical laws 2- concatenative synthesis audio mosaicing in which the sound of the contact microphone is associated with its closest frame present in a sound databasethe system can recognise both fingers-touches and objects that emit a sound such as the coin shown in the videomore details: wwwbrunozamborlincommogees
