Performing Live Electronic Music | Germán Toro Perez, Lucas Bennett, Jörn Peter Hiekel (Hg.)
CHF 47.90
Since digital technologies made real time sound processing broadly accessible in the 1980s, significant shifts in creative music practices and aesthetics, and further technological developments have profoundly transformed the performance practice of live electronic music. In this book philosophers, musicologists, composers and performers discuss the current state of that practice.
Besides addressing creative processes, performance approaches, unsolved problems regarding obsolescence, and the growing aesthetic diversity the contributions outline new aspects that transcend the pure musical fact: live electronic music practice reveals the multiple entanglements between arts and sciences, and how technology redefines the relationships between artists, cultures and environments, significantly impacting the way in which composers, performers and audiences engage, experience, share and create meaning and knowledge. Live electronic music performance thus offers unique insight into the radical changes and potentials of the arts in times of multiple global challenges.

Das Lied prägt die Musik von Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy in besonderer Weise; häufig ist Liedhaftes für ihn eine Inspirationsquelle. Sowohl die herkömmliche vokale Darbietungsform als auch ihre instrumentale Parallelgattung, das «Lied ohne Worte», finden sich selbst in Streichquartetten, Orgelsonaten, Konzerten und Sinfonien. Das 2009 in Zürich durchgeführte Symposium hat sich exklusiv mit Mendelssohns Liedern befasst. Der vorliegende Band vereint die Beiträge dieser Veranstaltung, erweitert um eine grundlegende Einführung in Mendelssohns Liedkunst.
Signals, Systems and Sound Synthesis | Martin Neukom
The subject of this book is the synthesis and treatment of sound by computer. Using illustrations, animations, sound examples and sample programs, it introduces the most important techniques of sound and score synthesis and explains the technical and mathematical principles necessary for understanding them. After reviewing fundamentals of acoustics, the author describes system and signal theory and introduces the programs and programming languages used in the book. The traditionally important synthesis techniques are described in detail, as are various nonlinear synthesis techniques and synthesis by physical modeling. The concluding chapters of the book deal with the projection of sound in space and with the use of algorithmic and stochastic procedures in computer music. The appendix contains a survey of basic mathematical principles, various tables for reference and a detailed index. The included CD contains the entire text of the book, as well as additional chapters and explanations, sound examples, animations illustrating dynamic processes and many sample computer programs.
