Pythagorean music theory and its application in renaissance architectural design
Pongsarayuth, Sasi
This article concerns Alberti's approach to architectural design integrates Pythagorean consonance ratios from music theory, not by direct application but as a conceptual guide for aesthetic ratios in buildings. He expands spatial dimensions using methods derived from past artisans, adhering to and building upon the foundational consonance ratios. While applying these two-number proportions to width and length poses no problem, calculating height in a three-dimensional space requires a three-number proportion. Alberti resolves this issue by adopting the mean value strategy from music theory, where the mean is typically the middle value in an octave ratio, to determine the height in the spatial configuration. Alberti advocates for architects to leverage the insights of skilled artisans. However, his own architectural work demonstrates deviations from his theoretical principles. This study highlights Alberti's application of musical intervals such as the major and minor thirds, sixths, a.....

Mapping and digitizing Sarawak bioacoustic for soundscape composition - the Bako National Park project
Hellenda Harmon
The entirety of sounds that can be heard at any particular time and place is referred to as the soundscape. Similar to how a landscape presents itself visually, one way to think of a soundscape is as the way the listener's surroundings show themselves through sound. Terminology such as sound ecology, bioacoustics, electroacoustic music and musical composition of sound art is something that is still a novel concept in Malaysia. In Malaysia, the genre of soundscape composition is relatively new. This research is conducted and mainly inspired by the World Soundscape Project by R. Murray Schafer. The World Soundscape Project is to foster awareness of sounds and to promote the importance of soundscape and nature. Hence, this concept was applied in this research in text by conducting soundscape research in Bako National Park, Sarawak.

Chinese local childrens piano enlightenment works-tradition and innovation in childrens piano works
Wang, Anqi
This study explores the evolution of Chinese local children's piano enlightenment works, focusing on the balance between tradition and innovation. Chinese piano music, deeply rooted in traditional culture and modern piano techniques, holds significant artistic value. Early 20th century initiatives by Xiao Youmei and Zakharoff established a foundation for systematic piano education in China, while competitions such as Tcherepnin's in the 1930s spurred the creation of child-centric piano pieces. Despite interruptions during the Cultural Revolution, post-1980s reforms and the advent of the new millennium have led to a resurgence in culturally responsive piano education materials. These materials often integrate folk tunes and traditional operas, addressing the need for aesthetic appreciation and cultural relevance in children's musical education. The essay highlights the importance of localized piano education in nurturing young learners' appreciation for national music and ensuring the c.....

Pemerkasaan Islam sosial dalam konteks peradaban semasa
Mohamad Abu Bakar
Islam sebagai agama, cara hidup dan peradaban dewasa ini sedang menerima tekanan daripada berbagai penjuru. Perkembangannya yang meluas dan merata telah membawa kepada pertembungan dalam berbagai keadaan dan di berbagai peringkat. Situasi ini menjadi sebahagian daripada landskap global semasa. Islamophobia, kebencian atau kemarahan terhadap Islam, yang dijelmakan dalam berbagai ragam, merupakan di antara ciri-ciri utamanya. Paling ketara dalam pertembungan ini ialah penolakan dan penentangan terhadap Islam dalam politik, atau political Islam. Percubaan menempatkan Syariah dalam pemerintahan dan pentadbiran, termasuk di negara berpendudukan majoriti Muslim, seringkali mewujudkan ketegangan, kadangkala pertumpahan darah. Islam yang cuba direalisasikan pada skala kecil pun, menerusi ibadat khusus seperti sembahyang, atau pemakaian, tidak terlepas daripada serangan. Masjid menjadi sasaran, dan wanita yang bertudung dan berjilbab menjadi mangsa kecaman. Islam di peringkat individu, dalam .....
