Ongoing development of audio and informational technology has had an impact on almost every aspect of the musical arts. Cultures and subcultures have cross-pollinated through the rapid exchange of information and have metamorphosed into new fields of technology-based art forms, one of which is the integration of technology in Asian ethnic musics. This article specifically focuses on the integration of technology with the traditional music of India, Indonesia, China, Japan and Korea. By reviewing the history of this metier, we explore the various applications of technology in traditional Asian music and its future.

The proliferation and ubiquity of sensor, actuator and microcontroller technology in recent years have pro-pelled contemporary robotic musical instruments (RMIs) and digital music controllers to become more para-metrically dense than their predecessors. Prior projects have focused on creating interaction strategies for relatively low degrees--of--freedom input and output schemes. Drawing upon prior research, this paper ex-plores schemes for interaction between parametrically--dense motion--based control devices and contempo-rary parametrically--dense robotic musical instruments. The details of two interaction schemes are presented: those consisting of one--to--one control (allowing the actions of a performer to directly affect an instrument) and those consisting of a recognition system wherein user--created gestures result in output patterns from the robotic musical instrument. The implementation of the interaction schemes is described, and a performance utilizing these schemes is presented.

The essence of business is value exchange. Customers are the foundation of enterprises; enterprise value comes from customer equity fundamentally. Increasing enterprise value pays attention to excavating customer equity fully and enlarging customer equity continuously. The interaction between consumers and suppliers is promoted by the change of customer role, diversified market needs and development of IT. Customer equity is increasingly influenced by customer participation. This study builds theoretical analyzing framework of customer participation, perceived control and customer equity, and collects samples from financial industry. It verifies the theoretical model and hypotheses based on data analysis through SPSS 19.0 and Amos 21.0. The result shows that customer participation has positive effect on customer equity, and perceived control has partial mediating effect between them. the network of business environment, collect network resources and realize value proposition with various stakeholders, especially customers. The potential and importance of partnership are highlighted [1].MTO manufacturing and customized service are popular today, and the demand for personalization and diversification is increasingly prominent. Enterprises obtain customer resources through customer information research and coding. This process will be limited by technology and privacy protection, resulting in leakage of information. It is difficult for enterprises to predict and meet customer needs. The status of customers in consumption changes from passive to active. Customers begin to participate in the production and delivery of products and services and interact with suppliers, and become part-time em-

<p><b>The guqin is the oldest Chinese stringed instrument with a history of over 3000 years. The most distinct characteristics of the instrument are the fluid modulation of pitch, and the dynamics and timbre in the tones created by the combination of the left and right hand finger techniques, which require many years for mastery of their execution and application. Most guqin research remains limited to its history, aesthetics, philosophy, sonic properties and notation system. Despite its long history and rich literature, much remains to be discovered about the embodied relationship between the intricacies of ancillary and auxiliary movements of master musicians and their rich colour, timbre and subtle nuances in sound.</b></p> <p>This research addresses the significance of guqin hand gestures, and presents an approach for re-visioning guqin performance: firstly, by developing a physical gesture acquisition system to investigate the guqin music tradition through the measurement of hand gesture techniques; secondly, by exploring the compositional and performative potential of the developed acquisition system as a musical interface, and how guqin playing schema can evoke new amalgams of electro-instrumental music; and thirdly, by utilizing the enhanced understanding of guqin hand gestures to guide the design and development of new musical interfaces. These objectives define the re-visioning of guqin performance, and are described and detailed throughout this document. The implications of this research include preserving and inheriting guqin playing styles; supplementing and advancing pedagogy; revitalizing guqin music tradition through technological means; and utilizing the embodied performer-instrument relation to advance the state of the art in human-mechatronic musical interaction.</p>
