Performing Live Electronic Music | Germán Toro Perez, Lucas Bennett, Jörn Peter Hiekel (Hg.) [E-Book PDF]
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.

Wirklich? | Lucie Bader Egloff, Anton Rey, Stefan Schöbi (Hg.) [E-Book PDF]
Strategien der Authentizität im aktuellen Dokumentarfilm
Ausgehend von zwei aktuellen Dokumentarfilmen, «Der Kick» (Andres Veiel) und «Zur falschen Zeit am falschen Ort» (Tamara Milosevic), die sich mit unterschiedlichen Verfahren demselben Mordfall widmen, rückt subTexte 02 die Frage des Wahrheitsgehaltes von nicht-fiktionalen Bildern in den Mittelpunkt. Können wir den technisch aufbereiteten Bilderwelten noch trauen? – In Gesprächen und Essays erörtern Filmschaffende, Theoretikerinnen und Theoretiker die gedanklichen und gestalterischen Prozesse, die zur individuellen Darstellung der vorgefundenen Wirklichkeit führen. Mit Beiträgen von Christoph Egger, Lucie Bader Egloff, Marille Hahne, Christian Iseli, Franz Reichle, Jan Sebening und Daniel D. Sponsel.
Aisthetik der Müdigkeit | Fabian Goppelsröder [E-Book PDF]
In einer Zeit, in der Aktivität und Leistung alles bedeuten, da power naps und polyphasischer Schlaf die Nachtruhe optimieren sollen, Klartraumtechniken Ressourcen zur Verbesserung körperlicher und geistiger Effizienz kolonisieren, lässt sich – so scheint es – für die Müdigkeit kaum noch argumentieren. Das Sensorium für ihre Fülle ist durch all den Optimierungsdruck verkümmert. Der Imperativ des 24/7 hat es anästhesiert. Dabei geht es heute, so der Ansatz des vorliegenden Buches, mehr denn je darum, ihre besondere Aisthetik wiederzuentdecken, den Sinn für die ihr eigenen Zwischenzustände des Ungeformten und Nichtkategorisierbaren zu wecken.
Signals, Systems and Sound Synthesis | Martin Neukom [E-Book PDF]
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.
