Dedication I would like to dedicate this book to my godfather, Jean Guérin, who lost the battle of his life a year ago, but will remain in our memories as a symbol of kindness and acceptance, tolerance and love. Acknowledgments Thank you Sang Hee, for all your support, wonderful meals, and back rubs when they were needed the most. I would like to give thanks to the following people for their help and support throughout the writing process, and for putting up with my caffeine-induced personality at times: Andy Shafran, for taking a chance; Stacy Hiquet, for keeping things running smoothly; Jenny Davidson and Todd Jensen, in Acquisitions at Thomson Course Technology PTR; and Kevin Sullivan of Argosy Publishing and Linda Seifert during the editing stages. To everyone I’ve contacted throughout the writing process, including Steinberg’s staff (Lars Baumann and Arnd Kaiser, as well as Greg Ondo who technically edited this revision): your help is appreciated and this book would not have been possible without your support. Merci à tous! About the Author Robert Guérin has been a composer for the past 14 years and a music enthusiast since 1976. He has worked on varied personal and commercial projects such as feature and short films, television themes, and educational and corporate videos. Composing, arranging, playing, recording, and mixing most of his material, he has developed working habits that allow him to be creative without losing a sense of efficiency. As a professor, Robert has put together several courses covering a wide range of topics, such as: computer software for musicians, digital audio technologies, sound on the Web, sound in multimedia productions, hard disk recording, and many more. He has been a program coordinator at Trebas Institute and a part-time professor at Vanier College, both in Montreal. Robert has developed online courses on sound integration in Web pages and has written articles for audio- and music-related online magazines.

  • Lewis Jeremy Sykes the Augmented Tonoscope
    Lewis Jeremy Sykes The Augmented Tonoscope Towards a Deeper Understanding of the Interplay between Sound and Image in Visual Music A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the Manchester Metropolitan University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Manchester Institute for Research and Innovation in Art & Design (MIRIAD), Manchester School of Art February 2015 Abstract This thesis presents the theoretical, technical and aesthetic concerns in realising a harmonic complementarity and more intimate perceptual connection between music and moving image. It explores the inspirations and various processes involved in creating a series of artistic works - attached as a portfolio and produced as the research. This includes the Cymatic Adufe (v1.1) - a sound-responsive, audiovisual installation; Stravinsky Rose (v2.0) - an audiovisual short in Dome format; and the live performance works of Whitney Triptych (v1.2), Moiré Modes (v1.1) and Stravinsky Rose (v3.0). The thesis outlines an approach towards realising a deeper understanding of the interplay between sound and image in Visual Music - through applying: the Differential Dynamics of pioneering, computer-aided, experimental animator John Whitney Sr.; alternate musical tunings based on harmonic consonance and the Pythagorean laws of harmony; and sound’s ability to induce physical form and flow via Cymatics - the study of wave phenomena and vibration - a term coined by Dr. Hans Jenny for his seminal research into these effects in the 1960s and 70s, using a device of his own design - the ʻtonoscopeʼ. The thesis discusses the key method for this artistic investigation through the design, fabrication and crafting of a hybrid analogue/digital audiovisual instrument - a contemporary version of Jenny’s sound visualisation tool - The Augmented Tonoscope.
