POLYPHONIC EMBOUCHURE ON AN INTRICATELY EXPRESSIVE MUSICAL KEYBOARD FORMED BY AN ARRAY OF WATER JETS
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Touching, diverting, restricting, or obstructing water jets constitutes a new type of user-interface for immersive multimedia environments such as totally acoustic, totally electronic, or hybrid musical instruments. The result is a richly expressive input device. In the context of a musical instrument, this device is called a hydraulophone. Developments in the rich expressivity of the hydraulophone are presented, as a new type of embouchure control. This paper presents a new concept called “finger-jet embouchure” in which each “key ” (water jet) on the instrument is governed by fluid-dynamics, rather than by solid key motion. The direct coupling between a musician’s finger and physical sound production in the liquid (which can be detected by underwater microphones and fed into a computer, thus creating a hyperacoustic user-interface) leads to highly expressive performance styles. By designing each note to be associated with one water-jet “mouth ” on the instrument, we give the performer an ability to fluidly interleave the dynamics of many notes simultaneously, producing a phenomenon named “polyphonic embouchure”. The result is the ability to perform richly expressive music, whether on an acoustic hydraulophone, or on an enhanced hydraulophone with sound pickups for hyperacoustic computer performances. 1.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
