Here's the list of books I received from various sources from around the
|
|
world. Some of these may be out of print, and some may not be published
|
|
in all countrys. I don't know about the contents of the books, I've
|
|
only compiled this list.

|
|
|
A big thanks to all the submitters, both direct and indirect. Cheers.

|
|
|
|
a new book recently has appeared on my desk, which i find quite exciting,
|
|
and would like to tell you about.
|
|
the book is volume 8 in the computer music and digital audio series
|
|
edited by our old buddy john strawn and published by a-r editions,
|
|
and is by far the best of the series as far as scope and depth are
|
|
concerned.
|
|
it is called Synthesizer Performance And Realtime Techniques, and is
|
|
authored by jeff pressing, about whom i know nothing.
|
|
allow me to provide a chapter listing, with sub-chapter brief:
|
|
|
|
1: the synthesizer as instrument
|
|
fixed and realtime synthesis
|
|
the improvisation-composition continuum
|
|
aesthetics, style, and function
|
|
2: synthesis, sampling, and software
|
|
tuning and temperament
|
|
synthesis and sampling
|
|
musical qualities and synthesis
|
|
3: midi
|
|
midi messages
|
|
standard midi files
|
|
midi diagnosis
|
|
limitations of midi
|
|
4: synthesizer technique
|
|
contemporary synthesizer keyboard technique
|
|
voice assignment: monophonic and polyphonic modes
|
|
velocity and pressure maps
|
|
performance with standard continuous controllers
|
|
5: playing a single line
|
|
realtime control of pitch
|
|
timing
|
|
timbre
|
|
articulation and phrasing
|
|
notation for synthesizer
|
|
the synthetic implementation of expressivity
|
|
6: polyphonic performance and extended techniques
|
|
part disposition
|
|
dovetail voicings
|
|
polyphonic pitch bend
|
|
keyboard retuning
|
|
velocity effects
|
|
using unpredictability
|
|
7: performance configurations and practicalities
|
|
layering
|
|
practical issues in live performance
|
|
live performance with prerecorded music
|
|
8: sound and instrument imitation
|
|
sustaining breath instruments: brass and winds
|
|
the voice
|
|
decaying instruments: plucked strings
|
|
instrumental third-streaming
|
|
9: nonkeyboard controllers
|
|
pitch-to-midi converters
|
|
bowed string controllers
|
|
percussion controllers
|
|
10: synthesizer ensembles and repertoire
|
|
discographical sources
|
|
performance problems in electroacoustic ensembles
|
|
11: intelligent and interactive performance systems
|
|
an analytical and historical framework
|
|
cybernetics of the control interface
|
|
cybernetics if intelligent midi systems
|
|
|
|
the book is comprehensively indexed, and runs to 462 pages. now, even in that
|
|
many pages some of the above areas get a little shortchanged. i'm sure that
|
|
most of you could, after all, see an entire book in each chapter heading.
|
|
things like midi diagnosis and controller descriptions actually only get
|
|
a single page, rather than any kind of serious treatment. what the book excels
|
|
in, however, is a musically relevant presentation. it is full of score
|
|
material, data, and exercises. as you can tell from the chapter list,
|
|
it builds from a set of synthesis and related fundamentals to a core which
|
|
emphasizes how to actually make music with these instruments, and then
|
|
resolves to more abstract issues of sound design and control. the book is
|
|
written for the musician who may know absolutely nothing about synthesizers
|
|
to begin with, and attempts to tell them everything they need to know in
|
|
order to make both rational and creative decisions. on the one hand, this
|
|
means that a good deal of the writing simply makes explicit what alot of
|
|
us who have been using these machines for years already understand, although
|
|
may not have bothered to articulate. descriptions of portamento control, for
|
|
instance, tend toward this. they are very detailed, but tell me nothing
|
|
new. but again, and this is the other hand, they are *very* detailed, and
|
|
this level of detail sometimes triggers new ideas even for the familiar reader.
|
|
the treatments of the requirements, capabilities, and implications of
|
|
performance controls and techniques is the most thorough i have ever seen,
|
|
and i think anyone here would find significant value in it.

Here is another title to add to the bibliography:
|
|
|
|
Electronics and Construction Technique:
|
|
|
|
"Electronic Music Circuits" by Barry Klein. This was written
|
|
in 1982. Many of the designs use the CEM or SSM chips but not
|
|
all do. There are many circuits in this book. The book also
|
|
has detailed descriptions of the chips (including reprints of
|
|
the data sheets in an appendix). There is also alot of construction
|
|
techniques and helpful hints. As I have stated earlier, I haven't
|
|
designed any modules myself but I have built various convenience
|
|
modules (power supplies, converter modules, etc.) at times. This book
|
|
has come in handy at those times.

|
|
|
|
New, advanced MIDI desk reference is perfect for programmers and MIDI power
|
|
users. The heart of the book is a summary and explanation of every MIDI
|
|
command, in hex, binary, decimal and English. Also features detailed
|
|
discussion of software design concerns, synchronization formats, MTC,
|
|
sample dump, MIDI files and system exclusive processing.
|
|
|
|
It discusses writing software to handle MIDI information at the application
|
|
level. In other words, they assume you have already written or otherwise
|
|
obtained access to the necessary code to talk to your hardware to send and
|
|
receive the MIDI data. This approach frees the entire discussion from
|
|
being tied to any particular hardware or programming approach. Instead, it
|
|
spends its time on that which is valuable to the experienced programmer.
|
|
Issues such as MIDI file format, timing (SMPTE, MTC, etc), parsing MIDI
|
|
data and processing it, MIDI sample dump standard, etc. are all handled in
|
|
fine detail.

THE MIDI IMPLEMENTATION BOOK, Defuria & Scacciaferro
|
|
Contains complete documentation of MIDI commands implemented by more than
|
|
200 instruments. This data has come directly from hardware manufacturers
|
|
and allows you to find MIDI functions of specific instruments, compare
|
|
features of similar instruments and choose equipment to meet specific
|
|
applications. A standard, one-page implementation chart is used for each
|
|
product. 1986, 216 pp. $19.95

it, and its terribly out-dated (1986), but they might have published
|

another addition by now.

Joseph Rothstein, _MIDI: A Comprehensive Introduction_
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Microsoft Press put out a book on midi programming. I
|
|
think that this is rather a weak book, but it might serve
|
|
as an introduction for non-computer folk.
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Several other books are out that were written by musicians.
|
|
They are interesting as a intro to using midi, but contain
|
|
a dearth of info from my perspective. As a programmer, I
|
|
have the wrong perspective to sort these out.

This covers analog and digital sound synthesis from an experimenter's
|
|
perspective, not much math, lots of algorithms and circuits. If you want
|
|
to solder and program in your garage and make lots of weird sounds, this is
|
|
the bible. Lots of BASIC programs, but they're very short, just to
|
|
demonstrate algorithms. It's a few years old now and the electronic
|
|
devices used in the book are dated, but the explanations and principles are
|
|
still valid. It discusses things such as real time synthesis, play back of
|
|
stored soundwaves, sampling, running multiple D-As in parallel, software
|
|
for computing soundwaves (it even covers Fast Fourier Transforms) and more.

to be a pretty good book for general synthesizer knowledge, mostly

because it doesn't try to explain the specifics of a synth.

Moorer, James A. and Grey, John: "Lexicon of Analyzed Tones";
|
|
Computer Music Journal, volume 1 Number 2, volume 1 number 3,
|
|
volume 2 number 2, volume 2 number 3, and continuing
|
|
|
|
The first installment of the lexicon was an analysis of a violin tone.
|
|
The second analyzed Clarinet and Oboe tones, and the third presented an
|
|
analysis of a trumpet tone.
|
|
|
|
These analyses included spectral plots (time versus amplitude for the first
|
|
21 partials), spectrographic plots (frequency versus amplitude), and amplitude
|
|
and frequency versus time plots for the first sixteen partials. Additional
|
|
information is given about formants of the instruments and the analysis
|
|
and resynthesis methods which the authors used (The analysis was done with
|
|
a Heterodyne Filter algorithm). While the authors claim that the tones
|
|
were resynthesized and were nearly indistinguishable from the originals, they
|
|
ARE only single, specific notes played on a specific example of the original
|
|
instrument, so, while they would be a good starting point for re-synthesis of
|
|
an instrument, they are by no means sufficient.

Title: Computers and musical style / David Cope.
|

|
|
|
The book includes (LISP) source code to significant parts of his EMI
|
|
system (Experiments in Musical Intelligence). For the non-technical reader
|
|
there is a brief introduction to LISP programming. There are numerous
|
|
examples of programs applied to examples from musical literature, (Bach,
|
|
Mozart, Schubert, Stravinsky and many others). The program produces an
|
|
analysis of the regularities in two or more pieces of the same style and
|
|
uses these as "signiatures" to generate a new piece in that style. Cope's
|
|
methodology is derived from a mixture of classical AI (or rule based)
|
|
models and linguistic grammars (Augmented Transition Network).
|
|
|
|
The results are interesting and can be remarkable. But I have to add that
|
|
there are significant problems with the methods. The system seems good at
|
|
capturing very local phenomena, (such as cadence formulae), but is
|
|
ill-conditioned for capturing more global aspects of musical structure
|
|
(such as melodic coherence, harmonic interest, &c). These problems have
|
|
been acknowledged by the author but I think they are unsolvable in the
|
|
current working paradigm.

MUSIC AND CONNECTIONISM
|
|
edited by
|
|
Peter M. Todd and D. Gareth Loy
|
|
|
|
|
|
MUSIC AND CONNECTIONISM is now available from MIT Press. This 280-pp. book
|
|
contains a wide variety of recent research in the applications of neural
|
|
networks and other connectionist methods to the problems of musical listening
|
|
and understanding, performance, composition, and aesthetics. It consists of a
|
|
core of articles that originally appeared in the Computer Music Journal, along
|
|
with several new articles by Kohonen, Mozer, Bharucha, and others, and new
|
|
addenda to the original articles describing the authors' most recent work.
|
|
Topics covered range from models of psychological processing of pitches,
|
|
chords, and melodies, to algorithmic composition and performance factors. A
|
|
wide variety of connectionist models are employed as well, including
|
|
back-propagation in time, Kohonen feature maps, ART networks, and Jordan- and
|
|
Elman-style networks. We've also included a discussion generated by the
|
|
Computer Music Journal articles on the use and place of connectionist systems
|
|
in artistic endeavors. A more detailed description of the book is provided
|
|
below (from the jacket text), along with the complete table of contents.
|
|
|
|
MUSIC AND CONNECTIONISM can be found in bookstores that carry MIT Press
|
|
publications, or can be purchased directly from MIT Press by calling their
|
|
toll-free order number, 1-800-356-0343, and giving the operator this catalog
|
|
number: 1CSAT 503, and this book code: TODMH. By phone and mail-order, the
|
|
price is $39.95; in stores, it will probably be $45 (there is some confusion
|
|
with the publisher on this point, so I wanted to give out the detailed
|
|
information for phone orders to save people some money).

Music and Connectionism
|
|
edited by Peter M. Todd and D. Gareth Loy
|
|
|
|
As one of our highest expressions of thought and creativity, music has always
|
|
been a difficult realm to capture, model, and understand. The connectionist
|
|
paradigm, now beginning to provide insights into many realms of human
|
|
behavior, offers a new and unified viewpoint from which to investigate the
|
|
subtleties of musical experience. Music and Connectionism provides a
|
|
fresh approach to both fields, using techniques of connectionism and parallel
|
|
distributed processing to look at a wide range of topics in music research,
|
|
from pitch perception to chord fingering to composition.
|
|
|
|
The contributors, leading researchers in both music psychology and neural
|
|
networks, address the challenges and opportunities of musical applications of
|
|
network models. The result is a current and thorough survey that advances our
|
|
understanding of musical perception, cognition, composition, and performance
|
|
and of the design and analysis of networks.
|
|
|
|
Music and Connectionism is based on a core of articles originally appearing as
|
|
two special issues of the Computer Music Journal. These have been augmented
|
|
with addenda covering more recent research by the authors. The book opens
|
|
with tutorial chapters introducing neural networks in a musical context and
|
|
relevant aspects of previous computer music research, making this a
|
|
self-contained text. There are many new chapters, along with new section
|
|
introductions, summaries of related work, and a final debate on the artistic
|
|
implications of connectionist methods.

Representations of Musical Signals
|
|
edited by Giovanni De Poli, Aldo Piccialli, and Curtis Roads

Published by MIT Press, 1991
|

ISBN 0-262-04113-8, 478 pages, hardcover, US$ 50.00
|
|
|
|
Representations of Musical Signals describes a new generation of digital
|
|
audio and computer music systems made possible by recent advances in
|
|
digital signal processing theory, hardware design, and programming
|
|
techniques. It explores new representations of musical signals that can
|
|
have profund effects on the way musicians conceive of and realize musical
|
|
ideas. In particular, the book focuses on models that combine time-domain
|
|
and frequency-domain representations (grains, wavelets, and physical
|
|
models), visual programming and advanced user interfaces, and that
|
|
incorporate musical knowledge using artificial intelligence techniques and
|
|
adaptive neural net- works. The 14 contributions take up issues of how
|
|
musical signals should be displayed to musicians, engineers, and scientists
|
|
who want to work with them, how professionals can work with the
|
|
representations to accomplish musical tasks, how systems can be designed to
|
|
permit working with multiple views of the same signal, and how representa-
|
|
tions of musical signals should be organized to promote efficient
|
|
communication between devices using these signals.
|
|
|
|
Representations of Musical Signals is aimed at the expanding group of
|
|
musicians, engineers, and scientists who are interested in innovative
|
|
approache to digital audio and computer music. We expect that this book
|
|
will be useful in undergraduate and graduate courses in computer music,
|
|
musical acoustics, and digital audio signal processing.

NEW BOOK ON COMPUTER MUSIC, MUSIC COGNITION AND AI
|
|
|
|
The research presented in "Music, Mind and Machine: Studies in Computer
|
|
Music, Music Cognition and Artificial Intelligence" by Peter Desain and
|
|
Henkjan Honing finds its basis in the fields of musicology, psychology and
|
|
computer science. Nowadays each of these domains is linked to the other in
|
|
various research disciplines. In computer music, ways to design machines to
|
|
make music are explored. In music cognition, mental processes that perceive
|
|
and apprehend music are investigated. In artificial intelligence the mind is
|
|
approached as a machine - and machines are built to learn more about the
|
|
mind.
|
|
|
|
The articles collected in this volume focus on the perception and
|
|
representation of musical time and temporal structure, commonly identified
|
|
as a research area crucial to the understanding of the complex processes that
|
|
enable us to enjoy and perform music. Most of the theories are illustrated
|
|
with small concrete computer programs. As such it could serve as a text book
|
|
for courses in the field of computer music and music cognition.
|
|
|
|
Peter Desain and Henkjan Honing have collaborated for the last seven years
|
|
at the City University, London and the Centre for Knowledge Technology,
|
|
Utrecht. They combine their different backgrounds in computer science,
|
|
psychology, and music, and share a fascination with the computational
|
|
modelling approach to music perception and performance. Peter Desain
|
|
currently works on rhythm perception at the University of Nijmegen,

Robert Rowe
|
|
|
|
For the growing number of professionals in computer music -- composers,
|
|
performers, and teachers -- who are looking for more from the computer
|
|
music systems that are now available, _Interactive Music Systems_ provides
|
|
the first comprehensive survey and evaluation of new computer programs that
|
|
can analyze and compose music in live performance.
|
|
|
|
Although Rowe focuses primarily on musical motivations and possibilities of
|
|
interactive systems, he also takes up such practical considerations as how
|
|
to build, analyze, and extend these systems, and he looks at the impact of
|
|
music theory, music cognition, and artificial intelligence on the design of
|
|
interactive systems and on ensemble performance. He describes in detail
|
|
both the theory and practice of his own real-time interactive music
|
|
program, Cypher, and further illustrates basic concepts and characteristic
|
|
issues using the graphic MIDI programming environment Max.
|
|
|
|
In a concluding chapter, Rowe assesses developments in hardware and
|
|
software with implications for the evolution of interactive systems,
|
|
including their implementation in multiple-processor environments, the
|
|
impact of real-time digital signal processing, and extended prospects for
|
|
sensing performance gesture.
|
|
|
|
Interactive Music Systems CD-ROM This supplement to Interactive Music
|
|
Systems contains audio and program examples that document a variety of
|
|
systems and the music they produce. An extensive library of Macintosh
|
|
software allows the user to experiment with or adapt existing interactive
|
|
systems. Some parts of the library require the presence of underlying
|
|
software environments, such as SmallTalk, LISP, or Opcode's Max language.
|
|
The program discussed most extensively in the text, Robert Rowe's Cypher,
|
|
will run on any Macintosh computer with no additional software required.

edited by Stephan Schwanauer and David Levitt
|
|
Cambridge: MIT Press, 1993
|
|
ISBN 0-262-19319-1 $45
|
|
|
|
Machine Models of Music brings together representative models ranging from
|
|
Mozart's "Musical Dice Game" to a classical article by Marvin Minksy and
|
|
current research to illustrate the rich impact that artificial intelligence
|
|
has had on the understanding and composition of traditional music and to
|
|
demonstrate the ways in which music can push the boundaries of traditional AI
|
|
research.
|
|
|
|
The authors include prominent figures in linguistics (Johan Sundberg,
|
|
Ray Jackendoff), computer science and AI (Fred Brooks, Marvin Minsky,
|
|
Terry Winograd, Herbert Simon, Peter Neumann), music theory (Allen
|
|
Forte), composition (Fred Lerdahl, Charles Ames), psychoacoustics
|
|
(Christopher Longuet-Higgins, Jamshed Bharucha), and the odd middle
|
|
ground of "computer music" (James Moorer, Hiller and Isaacson).

|
|
The Well-Tempered Object is based on a collection of articles
|
|
that appeared in Computer Music Journal over the space of ten years
|
|
relating to the application of object-oriented (OO) software
|
|
technology--the most important new software engineering technology
|
|
of the 1980s--to various musical applications. It consists of
|
|
articles from Computer Music Journal 4(4), 8(5), 10(4) and 13(2)
|
|
along with new chapters and updates to the original texts as
|
|
addenda. The authors describe the application of OO technology to
|
|
a wide range of areas of computer music and digital audio signal
|
|
processing including music representation and composition, real-
|
|
time performance, and digital signal processing (DSP). A number of
|
|
popular OO programming languages are represented, including Lisp,
|
|
Smalltalk-80, and ObjectiveC.

MUSIC, SOUND and TECHNOLOGY
|
|
by John M. Eargle. (A mini-review)
|
|
is published by Van Nostrand Reinhold, New York, copyright 1990. Its Library
|
|
of Congress number is ML3805.E2 1990.
|
|
|
|
This little book turned up on the New Titles shelf in the Physics
|
|
and Planetary Science Library at Pitt recently, and I've just finished going
|
|
through it. It was a worthwhile enough bit of reading matter that I thought
|
|
I'd bring it to the List's attention. This ain't no formal book review, but
|
|
then again you all probably knew that already, knowing me, right?
|
|
|
|
MS&T is a fairly technical treatment of the acoustics of musical
|
|
instruments, almost exlcusively focussing on acoustic instruments that are
|
|
featured in the modern orchestral format (hence including a lot of unusual
|
|
jazz instruments and percussion devices). It has fairly little math in it,
|
|
and requires little or no math background to read, but it does not skimp
|
|
on the ideas it brings across-- a novice who knew something about music,
|
|
having read this book carefully, would come away with a better understanding
|
|
of music and acoustics than many professional sound engineers probably have.
|
|
(Based on my own experiences in the field, that is.) The style is a trifle
|
|
dry, but is never so technical as to be unreadable. Examples from the public
|
|
domain are liberally sprinkled throughout the book, and every chapter ends
|
|
with a small bibliography and reference list, often including phonorecords.
|
|
|
|
The book begins with a brief review of the physical principles
|
|
underlying the creation of sound: waves, sound pressure, units like the
|
|
decibel, and so on. Virtually all of the math in the book is contained here,
|
|
and it's on the high-school level, not too daunting. Some of the stuff is
|
|
quite simple (masses on springs, pendula), but the reader suddenly finds
|
|
himself absorbing stuff like "Relations between Direct and Reverberant Fields"
|
|
--and understanding it clearly! The organization is clear, and every concept
|
|
is prefaced with an explanation of why and where it's important. The next
|
|
two chapters complete what Eargle considers the introductory part of the book;
|
|
one is on the physiology of hearing and psychoacoustics, ranging from the
|
|
localization of sound by the ears and head to the cultural biases inherent in
|
|
judging what constitutes "consonance" and "dissonance," and the other is a
|
|
brief but relatively well-thought-out review of temperament and tuning scales.
|
|
|
|
Chapters 4 through 9 are explanations of the physics of the usual
|
|
sorts of sound generators one would find in orchestral of jazz music, and
|
|
comparative studies of their pitch and loudness ranges, harmonic structure,
|
|
and expressive characteristics in relation to the player's abilities. Strings,
|
|
woodwinds, brasses, and percussion devices are given their own chapters, and
|
|
keyboards are lumped together in one chapter, despite their differences in
|
|
sound creation (which Eargle acknowledges but views as less important than
|
|
their similarities). There are all sorts of little gems here-- how to change
|
|
the speaking length of a trumpet, what happens to the frequency response of
|
|
a piano when you close the lid, how a vibraphone differs from a marimba, etc.
|
|
These chapters alone make the book worth a look.
|
|
|
|
Chapter 10 explains the philosophy behind the physical organization of
|
|
musical ensembles. Why the first and second violins are sometimes seated
|
|
together on the left, other times separated, and so on. Chapter 11 is a long
|
|
and occasionally quite technical discussion of performance space design, and
|
|
of the engineering of suitable halls for speech, music, and worship (there's
|
|
a big section on church design). Chapters 12 and 13 discuss the principles of
|
|
sound reinforcement and sound recording, with diagrams of speaker placements
|
|
and microphone patterns abounding; this is getting into the sort of stuff that
|
|
we tend to deal with regularly in EMUSIC-L, and we may have seen it elsewhere,
|
|
but at this point we're used to Eargle's delivery and it's more clear than the
|
|
usual drek in Home and Studio Recording. Some of the discussion is quite
|
|
fascinating (is it better to be shamefully accurate or to correct for acoustic
|
|
weaknesses when recording a symphony?), and the material is quite modern in
|
|
its presentation: Eargle notes "with nostalgia" the passing of the vinyl LP
|
|
from the scene. Overdubbing, Digital recording, and signal processing are
|
|
touched on in a straightforward manner, from quad sound systems to delay and
|
|
digital reverb. Chapter 14 is a primer on home audio, with explanations of
|
|
the LP, cassette, and CD as playback media and commentary on speaker systems.
|
|
|
|
Chapter 15 is what you've all been waiting for, the "Overview of Music
|
|
Synthesis." It covers the acoustics of transients, steady-state conditions,
|
|
and tonal decay, ensemble considerations, working in the frequency vs. the
|
|
time domain, and mentions modern developments such as sampling and MIDI. The
|
|
entire section is only eight pages long, half of which are figures, but for
|
|
the acoustic musician who's unfamiliar with and a bit scared of synthesizers
|
|
it's a very easily digestible introduction. The acoustic musician sighs with
|
|
relief and says, "So THAT'S all there is to it!" (Of course, it isn't, but it
|
|
serves to keep the musician's mind open and unafraid of future learning.) The
|
|
author seems to regard these instruments with some degree of wide-eyed wonder,
|
|
and perhaps some nervous condescention as well, but he never fails to
|
|
recognize them as instruments in their own right, deserving of attention
|
|
beside the violins and piccolos. His only classicist comment, which is
|
|
probably forgivable under the circumstances, is that "Electronically generated
|
|
sounds do not necessarily have to imitate those of traditional instruments,
|
|
but the sounds do have to fit into musical contexts." (We'll shelve arguments
|
|
on that point for other posts, ok?) The last chapter is a brief touch upon
|
|
active noise reduction principles and techniques, and probably should have
|
|
been placed between chapters 13 and 14, but at least it's there, if only for
|
|
six pages.
|
|
|
|
The book weighs in at 290 pages with a reasonably thorough index, and
|
|
is published by Van Nostrand Reinhold, New York, copyright 1990. Its Library
|
|
of Congress number is ML3805.E2 1990. I consider it a refreshing change from
|
|
the constant jabber about whether the Amiga can beat the Mac in the MIDI world
|
|
or what goes into Differential Loop Modulation in the D-70. It's clear,
|
|
readable, and has a lot of worthwhile data that can be put to good use by a
|
|
clever musician, electronic or otherwise. Metlay says, check it out.

|
_Guest Editor's Introduction: Computer Generated Music_
|
|
Denis L. Baggi
|
|
|
|
_Formula: A Programming Language for Expressive Computer Music_
|
|
David P. Anderson and Ron Kuivila
|
|
|
|
Formula, a language for controlling synthesizers, can model the
|
|
expressiveness of a human performance. It supports algorithmic
|
|
composition, interactive performance, and programmed interpretation
|
|
of traditional scores.
|
|
|
|
_Recombinant Music: Using the Computer to Explore Musical Style_
|
|
David Cope
|
|
|
|
A Computer program that creates new but stylistically recognizable
|
|
music from existing works offers insights into the elusive
|
|
phenomenon of musical style.
|
|
|
|
_Toward an Expert System for Expressive Musical Performance_
|
|
Margaret L. Johnson
|
|
|
|
An expert system processes the melodies of Bach fugues using a model
|
|
that recognizes rhythmic patterns. It outputs instructions that
|
|
tell performers how to articulate the melodies.
|
|
|
|
_Fugue: A Functional Language for Sound Synthesis_
|
|
Roger B. Dannenberg, Christopher Lee Fraley, and Peter Velikonja
|
|
|
|
Fugue provides functions to create and manipulate sounds as abstract,
|
|
immutable objects. The interactive language supports behavioral
|
|
abstraction, so composers can manage complex musical structures.
|
|
|
|
_A Computer Music System that Follows a Human Conductor_
|
|
Hideyuki Morita, Shuji Hashimoto, and Sadamu Ohteru
|
|
|
|
An electronic orchestra with a complex performance database and
|
|
MIDI controllers responds to the gestures of a conductor through
|
|
a CCD camera and a sensor glove.
|
|
|
|
_Project Overviews: Current Research in Computer Generated Music_
|
|
Stephen W. Smoliar, Goffredo Haus, Alberto Sametti, Denis L. Baggi,
|
|
Antonio Camurri, Corrado Canepa, Marcello Frixione, Renato Zaccaria,
|
|
Yap Siong Chua, and Robert Keefe
|
|
|
|
Six overviews reflect varied ongoing research. Reporting from
|
|
such diverse locales as Singapore, Europe, and the US, the authors
|
|
explore the spheres of computer-aided composition, synthesis of
|
|
musical scores, computer simulation, and composing by musical
|
|
analog.
|
|
|
|
The six overviews look more interesting than the description. Of course,
|
|
all of the above articles have references, so you can go look up more
|
|
information.

Subject: Re: text rec
|
|
Although the Walter PIston Orchestration text is good and still worthy
|
|
of consultation, as a teacher of Orchestration I feel it has been
|
|
replaced by the Samuel Adler book entitled THE STUDY OF ORCHESTRATION.
|
|
This book comes with a workbook that is well organized and should be
|
|
possible to use in self-study more. Another good text for taking
|
|
piano scores and orchestrating them is Joseph Wagner's book
|
|
ORCHESTRATION: A PRACTICAL HANDBOOK. It also comes with a workbook
|
|
and is easier to use in self-study mode than the Adler. Whatever you
|
|
do, do not go for the Rimsky Korsakov text PRINCIPLES OF
|
|
ORCHESTRATION. It is an excellent text but in the Dover format is
|
|
useful only to those with a good working knowledge of orchestration.
|
|
Hope this helps.

** >Is there anybody on the world, who can help me to find a book
|
|
** >"Foundations of Sound Synthesis" by John Chowning ?
|
|
|
|
|
|
** These are the only references I have for Chowning:
|
|
|
|
** J. Chowning
|
|
** "The Synthesis of Complex Audio Spectra by Means of Frequency
|
|
** Modulation"
|
|
** J. Audio Eng. Soc. 21, no. 7 (1973):526-534
|
|
** [This is the standard reference.]
|
|
|
|
----> yes, but in "Foundations..." (where nb. this paper is reprinted)
|
|
there are his newer concepts of more complexive FM synthesis, which
|
|
I'm looking for...
|
|
|
|
** J. Chowning and D. Bristow
|
|
** "FM Theory and Applications by Musicians for Musicians"
|
|
** Yamaha Music Foundation, Tokyo, 1986
|
|
** ISBN 4-636-17482-8
|
|
|
|
----> thanx for this, it sounds interesting, especialy because of YAMAHA's
|
|
activity in the field of FM.
|
|
|
|
In addition: I have found an interesting paper about reconstruction algorithm
|
|
for FM natural sound simulating. If anybody is still interested in FM
|
|
synthesis, but in software means, please to contact. I'm going to work at
|
|
smart program for converting sampled sound to DX's programm parameters.
