  • Perceptual Fusion of Noise and Complex Tone by Means of Amplitude Modulation

    Perceptual Fusion of Noise and Complex Tone by Means of Amplitude Modulation

    Perceptual Fusion of Noise and Complex Tone by Means of Amplitude Modulation Pär Johansson Master’s Thesis Department of Speech, Music and Hearing The Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm Abstract This report investigates pulse-synchronised amplitude modulation as a method for perceptual fusion of noise and tone. It is shown that when the noise is amplitude modulated by the waveform envelope of the tone, higher amplitude modulation depth yields stronger fusion. In addition, the evidence suggests that fusion remains constant for tone frequencies from 150 to at least 600 Hz. Sammanfattning Det är numera välkänt att olika former av brus är en väsentlig del av klangfärgen hos de flesta akustiska instrument, vilket ofta förbises vid konstruktionen av elektroniska och digitala musik- instrument. Forskning inom detta område har visat att bruset tillför en ökad realism till syntetiserade instrument, men också att det inte är tillräckligt att bara mixa en ton med vitt brus för att vi skall uppfatta de båda komponenterna som en sammansatt klang – en lyckad sammansmältning eller perceptuell fusion kräver att bruset och tonen är korrelerade. Ett sätt att åstadkomma detta är att amplitudmodulera bruset med tonens frekvens. Detta är ett fenomen som uppstår naturligt i bl a röst, blås- och stråkinstrument. Denna uppsats behandlar dels hur modulationsdjupet påverkar fusionen, dels hur fusionen varierar med tonens frekvens. En enkel modell av ett instrument med en bruskälla skapades, där tonens frekvens och ljudnivå, brusets ljudnivå och modulationsdjupet kunde variera. För att pröva hypoteserna 1) fusionen ökar med modulationsdjupet och 2) fusionen minskar med frekvensen, gjordes lyssnartest vid frekvenserna 150, 300 och 600 Hz.

    3. Intercultural Tension in Music by Chaya Czernowin and Isabel Mundry: Variations on Identity and Musical Meaning

    V. New Music and Beyond: Music-Historical and Cultural Entanglements 385 3. Intercultural Tension in Music by Chaya Czernowin and Isabel Mundry: Variations on Identity and Musical Meaning A phenomenon crucial for the perception of new music, and which is featured prominently in Helmut Lachenmann’s sound typology, is the transition between structure and texture: the more information is conveyed at once in a musical context, the more it is perceived in terms of “global” characteristics – that is, structure (conceived as an interaction of individual sound elements or “families”) morphs into texture (in which one global characteristic dominates) – and the reverse process is, of course, equally relevant. Although this principle was particularly well- known and much explored in “sound composition” during the 1960s, it plays a certain role in listening to almost any polyphonic or multi-layered music. Complex and dazzling musical strat- ification was derived by many composers in the twentieth century from the legacy of Romantic orchestral magic (→ VI.1). Such a “dialogue” between layers can give rise to a morphological viv- idness that communicates itself directly, even without the framework of tonal harmony. In the music that emerged from the fault lines of cultural globalization from the end of the nineteenth century, it was, as we have seen, a much-used procedure to conceptualize the differ- ences between cultural idioms in the form of such a layered structure: groups of instruments and/or musical timbres were often arranged “culturally” (and usually differing composition- al techniques applied to such groups mirrored this cultural segregation). In Tan Dun’s Ghost Opera (1994), the string quartet was culturally “identified” by the C# minor prelude from volume 1 of Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier, the Chinese pipa by the Chinese folk song Xiao bai cai.

Knowing that I can always count on D’Addario strings to perform makes all the difference in the world.” - Kevin Eubanks - guitarist, The Tonight Show ”I love the fat, crunchy sound I get from D’Addario strings. They never let me down, and they allow me to put all my energy into making music.” - Poncho Sampedro - guitarist, Neil Young & Crazy Horse ”It is best to play music from the heart. To do that, you need a string that has a true pitch and beautiful sound. These are among the many fine qualities I find in D’Addario strings.” - Ben Verdery - classical guitarist ”I have used D’Addario strings since 1989. After all these years of playing them exclusively, I can tell you that D’Addario Composite Strings are the most consistent strings I have ever used. They are more in tune than any other brands, they never break, and they last very long in the studio and on the road.” - Ottmar Liebert - flamenco guitarist 5 Table of Contents Electric Guitar Strings

This will be done with results obtained by research. I shall show what can be measured and what can be perceived by our ears. Further I shall hint at measuring procedures that the maker himself may develop. Finally I shall show how "standard" laboratory equipment can be used to measure characteristics of the violin and the guitar, which partly shall be used by the participants of this course. Much energy has been devoted to balance an informative presentation without too much complication. Hopefully this balance is appropriate for many readers. The material presented is a combination of well known acoustical facts, late research on the acoustics of the violin and the guitar and results of the latest results of the ongoing research at KTH.

  • Schaeffer Stands His Ground: Orfée 53 and Evocative Sound

    Schaeffer Stands His Ground: Orfée 53 and Evocative Sound

    EMS : Electroacoustic Music Studies Network – Montréal 2005 Barbara Fox University of Nevada, Reno Mail Stop 226 Reno, NV 89503 (775) 784-7015 x 248 [email protected] Schaeffer Stands His Ground: Orfée 53 and Evocative Sound At the annual festival in Donaueschingen in October of 1953, Pierre Schaeffer and Pierre Henry debuted Orfée 53, a new musique concrète opera, based on Gluck’s Orpheus and Euridice. The collaboration exhibited magnetic tape manipulations, a technique pioneered by Schaeffer experimenting with the creation of sound objects. Orfée 53 featured a live female vocalist, a harpsichord, and evocative tape sound. This ambitious work scandalized the modern German listeners and characterized Orfée 53 as a crime against the avant-garde.1 Schaeffer’s ideal of experimental music was part of the ongoing controversy between the Elektronische and concrète composers. I will argue that Schaeffer’s compositions of 1953, especially Orfée 53, intended to cultivate a new era of musicality and research in the genre of musique concrète. As in Schaeffer’s works from 1949, repetitive characteristics of the sounds in Orfée 53 helped to identify characteristics for the listener. In my opinion, Schaeffer’s objective for the listener was to recognize some natural sounds mixed with abstract sounds to enhance the operatic form.

While we don’t have many of these in the Roanoke area, there are more being built throughout our driving area. Often called traffic circles, roundabouts are designed to make intersections safer and more efficient for drivers while avoiding long waits at a standard traffic light. It’s important to know the rules of the road with roundabouts. There are a few key rules to know when driving in a roundabout: 1. The vehicle already in the circle has the right of way 2. Do not Stop in the roundabout 3. Avoid driving next to an oversized vehicle 4. Always watch for pedestrians and pedestrian signal lights. 5. Stay in your lane and give your turn signal when you are ready to exit Prior to entering the roundabout, choose a lane. Once you see a gap in traffic, enter the circle and proceed to your exit. If there is no traffic in the roundabout, you may enter without yielding. To go straight or right, get into the right lane; and, to go straight or left, enter the left lane. Because large vehicles may need extra room to complete their turn in a roundabout, drivers should remember never to drive next to large vehicles in a roundabout. Roundabouts are designed to accommodate vehicles of all sizes, including emergency vehicles, buses, farm equipment and semitrucks with trailers.
