Signale, Systeme und Klangsynthese | Martin Neukom
Grundlagen der Computermusik
Dieses Buch behandelt die Erzeugung und die Verarbeitung von Klängen mit dem Computer. Mit Hilfe von Abbildungen, Animationen, Klangbeispielen und Beispielprogrammen werden die wichtigsten Techniken zur Klang- und Partitursynthese vorgestellt und die technischen und mathematischen Grundlagen erläutert, die zum Verständnis dieser Techniken notwendig sind. Nach einer Übersicht über die Grundlagen der Akustik stellt der Autor die Theorie der Signale und Systeme dar und gibt eine Einführung in die allgemeinen Programmiersprachen C und Mathematica und in die Programme Csound und CPS. Es folgen die Darstellungen der traditionell wichtigen Synthesetechniken, der nichtlinearen Techniken und der Synthese mit physikalischen Modellen. Den Abschluss bilden die Kapitel zur Klangprojektion im Raum und zur Verwendung algorithmischer und stochastischer Prozesse in der Computermusik. Der Anhang enthält eine Übersicht über mathematische Grundlagen, Tabellen und einen detaillierten Index. Auf den beiden CDs finden sich der Buchtext mit zusätzlichen Kapiteln und Erläuterungen, Klangbeispiele, Animationen und Programme.

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.

Willy Burkhard (1900-1955) gehörte spätestens seit der Uraufführung des Oratoriums “Das Gesicht Jesaias” (1936) zu den zentralen Komponisten der Schweiz. Rund hundert Werke umfasst sein Oeuvre: Kammer-, Klavier- und Orchestermusik. Wurden die jeweils neu entstandenen Werke um 1950 aufmerksam verfolgt, so ist es seit seinem Tod still um ihn geworden. Im Zentrum steht die Frage nach der Einordnung von Burkhards Schaffen in die Musikgeschichte, zwischen neoklassizistischen Tendenzen und Zwölftonmusik.
The Performance Practice of Electroacoustic Music | Germán Toro-Pérez, Lucas Bennett (eds.)
CHF 68.00
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.
This open access book offers an original interdisciplinary overview of the role of haptic feedback in musical interaction. Divided into two parts, part I examines the tactile aspects of music performance and perception, discussing how they affect user experience and performance in terms of usability, functionality and perceived quality of musical instruments. Part II presents engineering, computational, and design approaches and guidelines that have been applied to render and exploit haptic feedback in digital musical interfaces.
