This study conducted an exploratory empirical analysis on the factors affecting the performance of digital classical music based on signaling theory. For this purpose, using the classical weekly chart provided by the music platform Genie, 297 digital music sources that entered the top 100 chart from March 2020 to October 2020 (35 weeks). In this study, as signals that can influence consumers' choice to listen to classical nusic, we set an the artist's award history, artist's broadcast content linkage, taking the top spot in the first classical music chart entry, producing companies' competency, and the popularity of classical music repertoire. The effect of these signals on the chart success of digital classical music was verified subsequently. As a result of the verification, it was found that the artist's broadcast content linkage, taking the top spot in the first classical music chart entry, and the popularity of the classical music repertoire indeed had a positive effect on the chart success of a classical music. On the other hand, the artist's award history and the producing companies' competence did not significantly affect the chart success of digital classical music. This study is the first empirical study on the success factors of digital classical music performed from a business perspective, and is expected to contribute to subsequent studies related to classical music.

본 논문에서는 파동 방정식으로부터 클래식 기타의 Physical 모델을 유도해 낸 후 이를 구현하였다. 이러한 모델을 이용해 별도의 음원 데이터를 사용하지 않고 현재 전자 음악에서 일반적으로 사용되는 table look-Up 방식보다 효율적으로 악기 음을 함성 할 수 있도록 하였다. 파동 방정식은 현의 장력, 길이 및 질량 데이터를 이용해 현의 움직임을 표현한 것이며 이 식으로부터 Fourier Series를 유도하고 다시 Z 변환을 거쳐 현의 운동을 모델링하였다. 이 과정에서 현의 양끝에서 반사되는 신호의 크기를 모델링에 포함 시켰다. 이러한 현의 모델은 모든 종류의 현악기에 공통으로 적용될 수 있으며 현의 장력 길이, 질량 데이터를 변화해 다양한 현의 특성들을 모델링 할 수 있다. 또 음 합성을 위해 현의 초기 상태 및 연속되는 입력 데이터를 바꿔 클래식 기타의 다양한 음들을 합성 할 수 있다. 클래식 기타의 Physical 모델을 평가하기 위해, 실제 악기 음 및 table look-up 방식으로 합성된 음들을 녹음해 서로 비교하였다. 시간 및 주파수 도메인 상에서 비교가 이뤄 졌으며 table look-up 합성 방식에서 모든 주파수대가 동일하게 감소하고 비슷한 음역에서 음 높이에 적합한 배음 주파수 비율을 조절할 수 없는 등, 각 을의 특성들을 정확히 묘사할 수 없는 문제점을 극복할 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 피아노 음으로 구성된 간단한 웨이브 (Wave) 형식의 연주곡으로부터 각 음들의 음높이인 피치(pitch)를 추출하는 방법과 연주곡의 악보를 생성하는 방법에 대해 연구한다. 본 연구의 최종 목적은 위의 방법을 사용하여 클래식 악기로 연주된 CD-DA방식의 음악을 같은 음질이 보장되는 MIDI [1,3,7,8] 데이터로 변환하는데 있다. 이번 연구에서는 하나의 악기(피아노)로 연주된 음악으로 고정시줬으며, 잡음이 없는 깨끗한 웨이브 사운드로 제한하였다. 웨이브 사운드 형식으로 된 간단한 피아노 연주곡을 입력 데이타로 사용하였다. 이 웨이브사운드에서 Autocorrelation[4,5,6]방법을 사용하여 각 음들의 피치를 추출하였다 또한, 웨이브 사운드로부터 추출한 음의 피치, 음의 지속시간 등의 정보를 사용하여 연주곡에 대한 악보를 생성하는 방법에 대해 연구하였다. 본 논문에서는 웨이브 사운드 데이터에서 악보로의 변환까지를 이루고 있지만, 향후 실제 클래식 악기와 흡사한 MIDI 음원모듈이 제공될 경우 CD-DA방식의 원음과 같은 음질의 MIDI 음악을 생성하는 것도 가능할 것이다.

The current study was conducted to evaluate the effect of music enrichment on the live body weight of chickens and meat quality grade of the carcasses. Fourteen flocks at four broiler farms with identical windowless houses were provided with identical starter and finisher diets. These were either exposed to classical music or not exposed to any music from the starter to slaughter age. At 30 days posthatch, the chickens were transported from farms to a slaughterhouse. Two hundred carcasses from each flock were randomly selected for measurement of the carcass traits by the licensed meat inspectors at the slaughterhouse. The live body weights at the slaughter age were not significantly different between the two treatments. In addition, music enrichment did not affect meat freshness (i.e., torrymeter values) nor did it affect other carcass trait variables including percentage of bruises, flesh blemishes, abnormalities, and quality A grade. In conclusion, music enrichment did not affect the body weight or carcass quality of broiler chickens.

Audio tuning improves not only the sound quality of the car audio but also the quality of the completed car itself. However without the subjective assessment on the users' preferences, it is hard to tune the car audio satisfying them. Even though there are lots of factors to be considered to assess the preferences, only a restricted number of factors should be included in the experiment because the total number of experiments increases rapidly as the number of factors in the experiment increases. A large number of factors make it hard to explore the relationship between the sound quality and the sound characteristics and also makes the panels exhausted. In this paper, 8 sound characteristics, each with 2 levels, are considered for the experiment. An orthogonal design of experiment is suggested to reduce the number of experiments from 256 to 16. The analysis of variance is applied to show that Treble is the most significant characteristic of the reproduced sound of the given pop music. Also Deep Bass, SAD, and the interaction between Treble and SAD are found to be significant. For the given classic music, SAD is the only characteristic which turns out to be significant.

The Korean $taeg{\breve{u}}m$, a horizontal bamboo flute, is considered a representative wind instrument of Korean traditional music. Symbolized by its unique timbre and diverse techniques, this instrument transmits the beauty of Korea, and has become acknowledged even in international music scenes. Being a $taeg{\breve{u}}m$ player, composer, and ethnomusicology researcher, I have developed creative collaborations with musicians from Asian, electro-acoustic, jazz, and Western art music traditions developed outside my country of origin and tried to overcome musical boundaries through the 'intercultural performances' (after Turner 1988). Zooming in one collaboration, I detail the process of music creation and performance, collaborating with prominent Korean composer Kim $Taes{\breve{o}}ng$ (b.1967), who was commissioned by myself to write two compositions for the $taeg{\breve{u}}m$ and Western art music. The purpose is twofold: firstly, the modernization and appropriation of the Korean flute is briefly tracked down within the context of Western Art music. Secondly, a performance project is illustrated with the support of technical apparatuses such as DVD and CD recordings and delves further into the question of the 'cultural relativism' (Michael Tenzer, 2006: 7) through the interactive process. The performance-as-research, as a tool 'actualizing' (Richard Schechner 2003: 32) the hybridity, touches on critical domains in Ethnomusicology. The corresponding two parts discover, as Alan Merriam's(1964) 'tripartite model' suggests, the 'context' of Korean and Western cultures, the 'behaviour' of collaborating and performing and the 'sound' of improvised and composed productions in the course of music making.
