“…Because our method (multivariate statistical analysis) required isolating music attributes as parameters in multiple dimensions, we determined our dataset with four elemental music parameters following the musical meta-features and notational dimensions that specify characteristics of music composition in detail [14], including rhythm, melody, interval, and pitch. To take advantage of the cross-cultural analogies of Thai-Laos-Cambodian and Western music, we also applied the Look Tok or pillar tone and rhyme music structure as fixed-elemental music parameters in analyzing the data at the hyper-deep structure level [15].…”

Sadhukarn, a sacred music composition performed ritually to salute and invite divine powers to open a ceremony or feast, is played in Thailand, Cambodia, and Laos. Different countries have unique versions, arranged based on musicians’ skills and en vogue styles. This study presents the results of multivariate statistical analyses of 26 different versions of Sadhukarn main melodies using non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) and cluster analysis. The objective was to identify the optimal number of parameters for identifying the origin and relationships among Sadhukarn versions, including rhyme structures, pillar tone, rhythmic and melodic patterns, intervals, pitches, and combinations of these parameters. The data were analyzed using both full and normalized datasets (32 phrases) to avoid biases due to differences in phrases among versions. Overall, the combination of six parameters is the best approach for data analysis in both full and normalized datasets. The analysis of the ‘full version’ shows the separation of Sadhukarn versions from different countries of origin, while the analysis of the ‘normalized version’ reveals the rhyme structure, rhythmic structure, and pitch as crucial parameters for identifying Sadhukarn versions. We conclude that multivariate statistics are powerful tools for identifying relationships among different versions of Sadhukarn compositions from Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia and within the same countries of origin.

“…During the past decades, many visualizations have been designed to help intuitively represent musical data [31,41] to aid learn-ing [3,14,48,50] or to provide a more immersive listening experience [24,27,74,75]. Most of the existing visualizations are manually designed by following the visual encoding rules introduced in the field of information visualization, resulting in graphical visual representations that usually take effort to understand.…”

This article examines the narrative illustrations of a female deity called Cao E (Maiden Cao), a work produced in eastern Zhejiang during the post-Taiping era. It focuses on the artistic composition and the cultural implications of this iconography. Using both textual sources and pictorial materials, this study investigates how this pictorial hagiography served as a forum through which a state-sanctioned local cult was visualized and perceived by a heterogeneous audience including itinerant officials, local elites, and illiterate commoners. The mixed audience had different understandings and expectations of Maiden Cao and her visual representation, among which gender-related issues were contested. The present study reveals a dynamic picture of how a seemingly orthodox work sponsored by local officials and elites could be sabotaged because of local people’s expectations of Maiden Cao, and her gender identity in particular.
