Item Open Access Guitar pro or DAW-based software for metal composition(Routledge, 2025-06-13) Çelikel, Hale Fulya; Burns, Lori; Scotto, CiroThis study explores the integration of Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) and Guitar Pro software in metal music composition, emphasizing the significant impact of these tools on the creative process. Since the late 1960s, metal music has evolved into a complex genre that challenges traditional compositional methods. DAWs have revolutionized metal production by enabling intricate editing, looping, and layering of sounds, facilitating both professional and home studio environments. These platforms allow for the seamless combination of traditional analog sounds with modern digital effects, offering a vast array of sonic possibilities. Guitar Pro in particular emerges as a vital tool for guitarists within the metal community, providing an accessible platform for composing, notating, and sharing music. The research highlights the practical applications of Guitar Pro in the composition and learning process, offering musicians a user-friendly interface to visualize music through tablature, Western staff notation, and MIDI playback. Interviews with experienced metal musicians reveal the software’s role in enhancing musical knowledge, fostering collaboration, and preserving compositional ideas. The study also delves into the challenges of integrating Guitar Pro with DAWs, particularly regarding MIDI transcription and the accuracy of sound reproduction. This chapter argues that Guitar Pro, despite its limitations in comparison to DAWs, holds a unique position in metal music composition, bridging the gap between traditional notation and modern digital production. It serves as both a compositional tool and a pedagogical aid, helping to sustain the genre’s complex musical traditions in the digital age. By examining the evolving role of these technologies, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of how metal music continues to innovate and thrive within the broader landscape of contemporary music production.Item Open Access Türkiye’de özel eğitim gereksinimi olan bireyler ve müzik eğitimi ile ilgili yapılmış lisansüstü tezlerin incelenmesi(Nilgun SAZAK, 2025-07-28) Sarıgül, Ezgi Özkan; Dinçer, SezerBu çalışma, özel eğitim gereksinimi olan bireyler ve müzik eğitimi konusundaki lisansüstü tezleri incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Nitel araştırma yaklaşımıyla ve durum çalışması deseni ile yapılandırılan bu çalışmanın amacı; 1996–2025 yılları arasında Türkiye’de özel eğitim gereksinimi olan bireyler ile müzik eğitimi konularında hazırlanmış lisansüstü tezleri inceleyerek, alandaki akademik eğilimleri, yöntemsel yaklaşımları ve odaklanılan temaları ortaya koymaktır. Bu kapsamda, Türkiye’de tamamlanmış yüksek lisans, doktora ve sanatta yeterlik tezleri incelenmiştir. Veriler, YÖK Ulusal Tez Merkezi üzerinden “özel eğitim”, “özel gereksinim”, “otizm”, “zihinsel engelli”, “görme engelli”, “işitme engelli” ve “kaynaştırma” gibi anahtar kelimelerle taranmış, ardından “müzik” kelimesiyle filtrelenerek seçilmiştir. Döküman analizi yöntemiyle elde edilen veriler, kavramsal çerçevede sınıflandırılmış, sistematik olarak düzenlenmiş ve temalar oluşturulmuştur. Araştırmadan elde edilen veriler doğrultusunda; 84’ü yüksek lisans, 19’u doktora ve ikisi sanatta yeterlik olmak üzere toplam 105 lisansüstü çalışmaya ulaşılmıştır. 2019 ve 2024 yılları arası çalışmaların en yoğun dönem olduğu, 1996-2010 yılları arasında ise çalışma sayısının oldukça sınırlı olduğu izlenmiştir. 2024 yılı, 14 yüksek lisans, dört doktora ve bir sanatta yeterlik tezi ile toplamda 19 lisansüstü çalışma ile akademik üretkenliğin zirveye ulaştığı bir yıl olarak tespit edilmiştir. Bu sonuçlar doğrultusunda, özel eğitim ve müzik eğitimi alanındaki boşlukları dolduracak özgün ve yenilikçi araştırmalara odaklanılması; özel eğitim ve müzik eğitiminin kesişiminde daha kapsamlı sonuçlar elde etmek için psikoloji, nörobilim ve eğitim teknolojileri gibi farklı disiplinlerle işbirliği yapılması önerilmiştir.Item Open Access Addressing deep code problems: Listening to opera through the World’s liveness(Taylor and Francis Group, 2025-06-04) Eidsheim, Nina Sun; Snapper, Juliana; Loveless, Stephanie; Rennie, Tullis; Søndergaard, Morten; Zinovieff, FreyaThrough their practice as singers, voice teachers, theoreticians, and writers, Nina Sun Eidsheim and Juliana Snapper ask: If our ears have been precisely tuned to hear that which music teaches them to hear, what then lives at the edges of our listening? Challenging and expanding conceptions of opera and contemporary opera cultures, they re-situate voices, experiment with new vocalities, and develop new listening strategies to open up constrained notions of musical literacy, comprehension, communication, and exchange. They ask: Can music know anything beyond itself? Can it expand? Can it teach what it does not know or has not already sounded—or is it restricted to a closed-loop listening pedagogy? Can we listen for what we have not already been taught to hear? If a given music is a system, like any system, some of us are included within it while others are not; some know and others do not. If a musical system is closed, can we locate its cracks and leakages?Item Open Access Prioritized binary transformation method for efficient multi-label classification of data streams with many labels(Association for Computing Machinery, 2024-10-21) Yıldırım, Onur; Bakhshi, Sepehr; Can, FazlıReal-time data processing systems generate huge amounts of data that need to be classified. The volume, variety, velocity, and veracity (uncertainty) of this data necessitate new approaches and the adaptation of existing classification methods. Moreover, the arriving data can belong to more than one class at the same time. As the number of labels grows larger, a significant portion of the multi-label data stream classification methods become computationally inefficient. We propose a novel online approach: the Prioritized Binary Transformation (PBT) method, which can classify data with large numbers of labels by ordering the labels using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) within a fixed-size window. This order is then used to transform the label vectors for classification. We perform an empirical analysis on 12 datasets and compare PBT to four prominent baselines using four evaluation metrics. PBT achieves the best average ranking in three of the four evaluation metrics. Moreover, we investigate efficiency under average execution time per data item and memory consumption where PBT achieves second and first average rankings, respectively. © 2024 Owner/Author.Item Open Access A post-pandemic survey of the Istanbul metal scene: Dorock and tribute bands(Intellect Ltd., 2024-09-26) Çelikel, Hale FundaThis article explores the post-pandemic evolution of the Istanbul metal scene, focusing on Dorock Heavy Metal Club and the surge of tribute bands within the context of Turkey’s political, social and economic upheavals. Drawing on participant observation and interviews with key protagonists, including metal musicians, scene organizers and dedicated metalheads, the study investigates the impact of increased authoritarianism, economic instability and rising Islamic conservatism on the metal subculture. The findings reveal how Dorock has adapted to these challenges, reasserting its role as a central venue for live metal music. Additionally, the article examines the economic factors contributing to the popularity of tribute bands, which have become a financially viable alternative for live performances in a strained economy. This research highlights the resilience and adaptability of the Turkish metal community, illustrating how it continues to thrive despite significant sociopolitical and economic pressures.Item Open Access Bilkent Senfoni Orkestrası'nın Türkiye müzik hayatındaki rolü(Abant İzzet Baysal Üniversitesi Eğitim Fakültesi, 2017) Möhsünoğlu, ArifBu çalışmada senfoni orkestrasının tarihçesi ve Bilkent Senfoni Orkestrası'nın oluşumuna İhsan Doğramacı'nın verdiği maddi ve manevi destek, kuruluş süreci ve kuruluş amacı anlatılmıştır.

For this aim, music samples from Wagner, Mozart, Musorgsky, (Boris Godunov) Chopin, Tchaikovski, Schubert were chosen. We found correlation between root elongation and Mitotic Index (MI). Both kinds of music have positive effects on root growth and mitotic divisions in onion root tip cells but rhythmic dynamically changing lyrics affected much better. In this study light microscopy techniques were used but ultrastructure of root tip cells will be studied with electron microscope in the following study. © 2007 Asian Network for Scientific Information.Item Open Access Effects of various intervals applied in classical music on the ultrastructure of reflector nerve and muscle terminals (A musical, medical, biological and experimental study)(2008) Mamedova L.; Metin I.; Ekici, N.; Huseyinov, M.; Huseyinova G.; Güner, S.S.The aim of the study was to explore the effects of these intonations on the reflector nerve and muscle terminals of guinea pigs using electron microscopic approaches. Spazmatic shrinking of myocyte myofibrils together with degenerative changes in myocytes and nerve terminals occur with the application of strained intonations. Transmission function is also damaged related with this situation. Clear relaxative extensions in myocyte myofibrils and decrease in activity of nerve terminals were determined with the application of more extensive intonations. © 2008 Academic Journals Inc.Item Open Access Study of ultrastructural changes on the cochleae caused by various intonations used in classical music(2008) Mamedova L.; Kanter, M.; Güner, S.S.; Bulut, E.; Mercantepe, T.; Metin I.; Hüseyinova G.; Aktaş, C.; Ekici, N.The aim of this study is to investigate the differences on ultrastructure of the cochleae caused by different classic musical opuses with different intonations. Guinea pigs were grouped into 3, one of which was the control and the other two were the experimental groups. While the first group, which was the control, was not exposed to any music, the second group was exposed to classic musical opuses with extensive intervals (40 decibel) and third group was exposed to classical music opuses with strained intonations (60 decibel) for 6 h a day with 15 min-intervals for totally 10 days. Cochleae tissue samples were taken from the guinea pigs at the end of the tenth day. They were examined at the electron microscopic level. In addition to compansatris processes on the cochleae, thickening on the stereocilias of hair cells and basal membranes and proliferation on the synaptic terminalles of afferent nerves caused by extensive intonations were observed. Extremely obvious degenerative differences such as damage in neuroepitelial cells, nerves and synaptic terminalles as well as compansatris processes caused by strained intonations were determined. As a result of all these observations it was concluded that continuously listening to the strained intonations used in musical opuses has a very harmful effect on the auditory system. © 2008 Academic Journals Inc.
