| Research Abstract |
We have investigated the basic research on two points. A) music performance visualization and B) cognition of music performance by hearing-impaired people. With the purpose of building a support system for music performance by hearing-impaired people, we conducted several experiments on recognition of emotions in drum performances of improvised style. We proposed stimuli of sound only, sound and drawings of the same intended emotion, sound and moving picture of no intended emotion to two types of subjects, hearing-impaired people and people with hearing abilities, then compared the recognition of emotion in drum performance between subject groups. We found some notable results. 1. There were no significant differences in the recognition of emotion in drum performances between two subject groups except for one stimulus. 2. Subjects with hearing-impairment recognized the motion in drum performances by professional drummer, people with hearing ability, and people with hearing-impairment with no significant differences, while subjects with hearing ability did with significant difference. Performances by professionals were recognized differently between two subject groups. 3. Subjects recognized emotions the most with the stimulus type of sound with a drawing of the same intended emotion.
There have not been many research works on music recognition by hearing-impaired people. We were able to obtain several interesting findings on performance visualization and performance recognition by hearing-impaired people with our four-year research that we can use in our future research.
