The relationship between tempo and delay and its effect on musical performance
(1 page) Bob Willey Ctr. for Music Experiment, Q‐037, Univ. of California, La Jolla, CA 92093 <br />
<br />
A study was made into the effects of delayed auditory feedback on
musical performance. Subjects heard their performance with various
lengths of delay while playing at various tempi. This allowed for an
investigation into the possible disturbing effects of delayed auditory
feedback caused by different combinations of tempo and delay.<span style="color: yellow;"> Delay was
most disturbing when its length was in a ratio with metronome beat
length between 1:2 and 1:1. “Consonant” ratios were the least
disturbing, with 2:1 and 3:1 as easy, or easier than the “fundamental”
ratio of 1:1.</span> This is in contradistinction to findings in speech
research where the greatest disruption occurred when there is
approximate equality between delay and syllable length. Research in
delayed auditory feedback with speech has been more concerned with an
absolute worst case for delay independent of rate. The results of this
study are consistent with previous research that showed<span style="color: yellow;"> the most
disturbing delay for music performance to be between 200 and 300 ms</span>. In
addition they support the hypothesis that disturbance depends on the
ratio between the lengths of delay and beat. The implications for music
performance are discussed, including the effect of pitch transformation
during computer‐mediated improvisation.<br />

In Search of Balearic
A group of islands, the cult of Alfredo, or just an excuse for playing daft pop records? Balearious!
Twenty years ago, the word Balearic meant nothing more than a collection of islands huddled near the Mediterranean coast of northern Spain. It was the sort of place you might go to if you favoured package holidays or booked your breaks from the pages of a Thomson’s brochure. But then something strange happened. British DJs, holidaying on the island of Ibiza, discovered a DJ called Alfredo Fiorito and before we knew it, the Balearics – the location – also became a musical genre: the Balearic beat. more . . .

Lessons from Jamaica
And it's fun!
Larisa Mann on Decolonizing Copyright: Jamaican Street Dances and Globally Networked Technology
djones - March 22, 2011 @ 2:31 pm · Berkman Luncheon Series, video
Jamaican music-making practices present an interesting case study in the relationship between culture, copyright law, technology and power. In this talk Larisa Mann — a DJ, journalist, and student of Berkeley Law School’s Jurisprudence and Social Policy Program — shows how the street dance, the explosively creative heart of Jamaican musical practice, suggests several ways that technology can help or hinder people currently excluded from formal systems of power.

EuroDanceHits.com - Dance Dictionary
Taken from Website:
Welcome to Dance Dictionary. This page was created because there is no clear definition of various styles of dance music. With today's fusion of so many varied music styles, many titles that could be classified as trance-techno, techno-house, disco, deep-dub and acid house (the original and purest form of progressive house), have been lumped together in the nondescript progressive house.
Some ambiguity also existed regarding energy alternative, and hi-house could be deemed redundant in an era when, with very few exceptions, every high energy track being released featured a house mix. Even Italy, the last bastion of Hi-NRG purist fare is predominantly house influenced these days. There are however signs that Happy Italo-Disco may comeback. Check releases posted in ITALO-DISCO Page.
So what is the conclusion? Seems that any music classification is a bogus attempt to "pigeon hole" what would otherwise be loosely called "good dance music". Classifying, they purpose, could negatively influence a DJ or collector to pass by a song or style and potentially undermine the emerging melange of old and new, multi-style fusion trends. However, most DJs and collectors do have very particular tastes, and considering the overwhelming volume of new everyday releases. Listing of artist and title simply does not provide enough information.
Herein is an attempt to dispel the clouds of confusion about the styles. It is not ultimate, and your comments or own description of the styles (mentioned here or not ) on the list are VERY welcome. Let make this dictionary useful tool in the DANCEWEB.

UPCOMING- April 14th eventInterview with Sergi Jorda/F@ust Music Online
How many people concurred to F@ust Music Online?
From 98-01-18 to 98-04-16 (the date in which the reception of pieces for the show concluded), more than 1,100 brief pieces by around 100 composers were submitted, but the core of assiduous participants was no more than 20. These constituted a virtual family, which communicated every night, exchanging sounds, creating music collectively, without knowing each other. They were the FMOL junkies; creators who spent several hours a week during a three months period, and with whom I exchanged numerous technical and esthetical e-mails. Given the SGAE promotion, this influx may seem somewhat poor, but the existence of this selected and faithful core group was enough to justify all effort involved. When conceiving FMOL, one of my personal aims was to conceive an engine and a graphical interface that could be attractive to both trained and untrained electronic musicians. And I think that this goal was fully attained. We now know that several of these "faithful" participants had not a prior contact with experimental electronic music; a few were even composing for the first time, but all of them, took it, however, as a really serious game, and the final quality level of the contributions was really amazing. On the other side, I would like to say that during this period, I did also receive many e-mails from more orthodox composers, puzzled and confused by that crazy piece of software, but who still wanted to collaborate with La Fura in a more traditional manner.

Salmon from Episode 6
While visiting my father a number of years ago, I helped him cold smoke salmon. The technique was a melding of many minds and picked up by my father on one of his cooking forms. This set my mind to thinking about the concreate ways online actives are opportunities for cultural exchanges.
