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.

Milieux Sonores – Klangliche Milieus. Klang, Raum und Virtualität | Marcus Maeder [E-Book PDF]
Ob im Computerspiel, im Architekturentwurf oder auf dem GPS-Display im Auto: Unsere Lebenswelt wird vermehrt durch den virtuellen Raum ergänzt, erschlossen und entworfen. Medientechnologien haben die räumliche Gestaltung des Klangs und darüber hinaus die mediale Definition des Raums vorangetrieben. Dass damit auch die Gestaltung klanglicher Milieus – unserer Umgebung – durch Sound-Designer, Akustiker, Künstler und Musiker Einfluss auf unsere Wahrnehmung und unser Verständnis von Wirklichkeit hat, liegt auf der Hand. Perspektivenreich und informativ untersucht dieses Buch die perzeptiven, kulturellen, technischen und künstlerischen Bedingungen der akustischen Virtualität.

The Performance Practice of Electroacoustic Music | Germán Toro-Pérez, Lucas Bennett (eds.) [E-Book PDF]
The Studio di Fonologia years
This book is dedicated to the topic of performance practice of electroacoustic music, focusing mainly on the production of RAI’s Studio di Fonologia in Milan between the 1950s and 1970s. It is the result of an in-depth dialogue between musicology and musical practice, presenting musicological and practice-based contributions, some dealing with specific problems of performance practice, in particular the analysis and interpretation of the aesthetic prerequisites and production conditions of the repertoire from a musicological perspective, others focusing on specific works and on their realisation from a performer’s perspective. Overall, this publication is intended as a contribution to the performance culture of the repertoire.
