This research approach is different from the existing definition of Tropical House. It was derived from an electronic music genre (deep house, chill out, dance hall). However, this study explains that Tropical House contains elements of other art forms as well as electronic music. These are the elements of Ireland's traditional music (Celtic music). This study explains why the fusion of Tropical House and Celtic music was easy. And it shows that elements of Celtic music are included in Tropical House through eight popular songs. It can be confirmed that the melody, harmony, rhythm, singing method, instrumentation, and structure of Tropical House are intertwined with the elements of Celtic music. The key point of this research is to suggest that Celtic musical elements are found in the Tropical House genre. In addition, creators need to pay attention to various types of music, including traditional music from around the world. It is suggested that creators need to think about how to combine today's music with various other genres to create original music.

The communication designer in the multimedia age should have a consideration that the sound also can be an important expression element to transmit ones thought as well as the visual sense like color, shape and motion. As you already know, someones thought can be better understood when transmitted to others using the visual and auditory senses together than using the visual or auditory sense alone. The meeting of sight and hearing bases on the synesthesia. For example, low sound reminds a person of dark color and high sound usually reminds light color. And a percussion instrument reminds a person a circle and melody reminds a line. The visual and auditory senses In communication of the multimedia age should act as an independent expression element gotten out of the synchronizing that just serves simple sight and related sound at the same time. Interaction between sight and hearing arose a different emotion that cannot be happened just by one element alone. So, the programs of communication design education in this multimedia age should fulfill the requirement that it can develop ones expression ability through the understanding of interaction between sight and hearing. In this study, we suggest the education programs Classified into following categories; audio visual Gestaltung, audio visual moving graphics, audio visual design.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of vocal and instrumental background music on a verbal memorizing task. Participants were 30 undergraduate and graduate students and were randomly divided into two groups. All participants in both groups took a pretest and a posttest to examine the improvement of the memorization. Background music was inserted during the memorization task. Subjects in Group A listened to a vocal recording whereas Group B listened to the same music except with a cello playing the melody of the vocal part. All participants were asked to take the posttest to examine the improvement of their knowledge after the memorization. The t-test was used to compare the two groups. Results indicated that Group A(8.93) exhibited higher mean scores than Group B(7.46) but there were no significant differences t(28) = 1.38, p < .05. This study implies that lyrics does not distract word memorization and background music does not influence cognition directly.

We present a new technological concept named RCP (Robotic Cellular Phone), which combines RT and CP. That is an ubiquitous robot. RCP consists of 3 sub-modules, RCP Mobility, RCP interaction, and RCP Integration. RCP Interaction is the main focus of this paper. It is an interactive emotion system which provides CP with multi-emotional signal receiving functionalities. RCP Interaction is linked with communication functions of CP in order to interface between CP and user through a variety of emotional models. It is divided into a tactile, an olfactory and a visual mode. The tactile signal receiving module is designed by patterns and beat frequencies which are made by mechanical-vibration conversion of the musical melody, rhythm and harmony. The olfactory signal receiving module is designed by switching control of perfume-injection nozzles which are able to give the signal receiving to the CP-called user through a special kind of smell according to the CP-calling user. The visual signal receiving module is made by motion control of DC-motored wheel-based system which can inform the CP-called user of the signal receiving through a desired motion according to the CP-calling user. In this paper, a prototype system is developed far multi-emotional signal receiving modes of CP. We describe an overall structure of the system and provide experimental results of the functional modules.

This study purposed to investigate harmonic compositions and progressions that are appropriate for emotion vocabulary. In study 1, eight(8) professional music therapists were asked to provide harmonic compositions and progressions reflecting the tonal characteristics of emotion vocabulary and the rationales. Various attributes of harmonic compositions and progressions were examined and the content analysis were administered. In study 2, the obtained data on study 1 were evaluated by 124 music therapy and music majors for the validity. In the first study, analyzed results showed that 'happy' vocabulary utilized major, tonic, consecutive chord changes, 'angry' vocabulary utilized minor, augmented, $9^{th}$, $11^{th}$, unsolved $7^{th}$ chord progression, 'sad' vocabulary utilized minor, diminish, chromatic chord progressions. In the second study, there was statistically significant difference with 'happy' vocabulary. These results can provide basic evidences for musical ideas of harmonic compositions and progressions to better communicate emotional aspects of lyrical messages when composing melody in a song.

In this paper, we present a design method of a digital filter converting humming voice melody into MIDI data and a method of adapting it to a distributed multimedia I/O server. MuX uses device-independent DLMs(Dynamic Linking Module) for the inteliace with various I/O devices, and has wave-form audio DLM and MIDI DLM for audio interfaces. In order to expand the audio device interfacing ability of MuX system, we have designed and implemented a filter transforming human voice into MIDI messages. As the methods to input MIDI data are expanded to human voice in addition to MIDI files and MIDI instrument, someone who is not good at playing instruments can also generate the MIDI data, which enables our media interfaces to be used in various applications.

Panoramic image is one of the technologies that are commonly used today. However, technical difficulties still exist in panoramic video production. Without a special camera such as a 360-degree camera, making panoramic video becomes more difficult. In order to make a panoramic video, it is necessary to synchronize the timeline of multiple videos shot at multiple locations. However, the timeline synchronization method using the internal clock of the camera may cause an error due to the difference of the internal hardware. In order to solve this problem, timeline synchronization between multiple videos using visual information or auditory information has been studied. However, there is a problem in accuracy and processing time when using video information, and there is a problem in that, when using audio information, there is no synchronization when there is sensitivity to noise or there is no melody. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a timeline synchronization method between multiple video using audio waveform. It shows higher synchronization accuracy and temporal efficiency than the video information based time synchronization method.

And this study intends to discuss especially the one using emotional filter among various information processing methods. The existing music recommendation service on the web has a weak point that it makes the user feel bored by recommending songs only with similar feeling of the same genre, because music is classified by tune, melody, atmosphere and genre before recommendation. The service using emotion filter, suggested in this study, recommends the song and lyrics appropriate to the current emotional state of the user by abstracting emotional words that could reflect the sensitivity of human and then search the words within lyrics to match in order to overcome the weak point of the existing service. This study starts where the current emotional status for the user is being input. As for the range to choose, there are the seven representatives of emotion which are, love, separation, joy, sorrow-gloom, happiness-lonesome, and anger. As the service receives input of user's emotion, it matches the emotional words appropriate for the emotion input with the lyrics, and ranks the lyrics in the order of priority, so that it recommends the song and it lyrics to the user.

This study aims to show the possibility of approaching artistic design through the Bergsonian concept of musical vitality by grasping the expression of his musical vitality at the Chapel at Ronchamp. For the purpose of this study, the aesthetic significance of Bergson's philosophy of life was first contemplated, and a case study analysis was conducted on the vitality of music as temporality at the Chapel at Ronchamp. On this basis, the examples of his musical vitality as metaphysical reality at the Chapel were analyzed. The results of analysis are as follows: First, the Bergsonian vitality of music as temporality at the Chapel is expressed as a sense of movement-through the acoustic form, the modulor corresponding to the scale of the music, the opposite composition of musical changes, the fluid space of the music, and the light and shadow of counterpoint-as having been intended by Le Corbusier in the very process of design. Second, the vitality of music as Bergson's metaphysical reality at the Chapel at Ronchamp is expressed in the image and rhythm of music created by intuitive reminiscences. The acoustic form, the form created by the modulor, the opposite form of composition, the fluid space and the light and shadow as the melody and image of music present continuous diversity as vital flow in a uniform direction. The vitality of music as aesthetical reality is imitated by the rhythm of the music deriving from repetitive movements sensed here. Consequentry, the Chapel at Ronchamp can be seen as a vital design that expresses Bergson's notion of musical vitality, indicating that an approach toward artistic design can be realized through his musical vitality. This study holds significance as basic research on artistic design with philosophy and music as its origin.

The study of popular music in Korea has been looked down on in terms of its academic value, which has led to the demise of research into this topic. Unlike classical music, all areas of study of pop music (history, theory, and performance) in Korea inevitably rely on curriculums and courses in foreign countries. This study focuses on the era of the Eighth U.S. Army when modern band music first arose in Korea to discuss the important role played by Shin Joong Hyun's Psychedelic music style. Shin Joong Hyun's new approach to arranging and harmonizing included the qualities of Western music, but kept the melody lines of our own traditional style. Shin Joong Hyun's music is still being played by today's musicians decades later and it definitely deserves to be praised for generations to come. Although this study only covers a limited portion of our pop music history, its purpose is to provide future generations of musicians with knowledge on the roots of our pop music culture.
