  • Design Project: Big Beat DJ Project Overview
    Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Department of Electrical, Computer, and Systems Engineering ECSE 4560: Signal Processing Design, Spring 2003 Professor: Richard Radke, JEC 7006, 276-6483 Design Project: Big Beat DJ “I never worked a day in my life; I just laid back and let the big beat lead me.” - The Jungle Brothers Project Overview A good techno DJ spins a continuous stream of music by seamlessly mixing one song into the next. This involves not only synchronizing the beats of the songs to be mixed, but also incrementally adjusting the pitches of the songs so that during the transition, neither song sounds unnatural. Your goal in this project is to use signal processing to produce a computerized DJ that can automatically produce a non-stop mix of music given a library of non-synchronized tracks as input. On top of this basic specification, additional points will be given for implementing advanced techniques like sampling, beat juggling and airbeats that make the mix more exciting. At the end of the term, the computer DJs will face off in a Battle for World Supremacy with a library of entirely novel songs. Basic Deliverables To meet the basic design requirement, your group should deliver • An m-file named bpm.m with syntax b = bpm(song) where song is the name of a music .wav file (or the vector of music samples themselves), and b is the estimated number of beats per minute in the specified song. • An m-file named songmix.m with syntax mix = = songmix(song1,song2), where mix is the resultant continuous mix between song1 and song2.

  • 0 Musical Borrowing in Hip-Hop
    MUSICAL BORROWING IN HIP-HOP MUSIC: THEORETICAL FRAMEWORKS AND CASE STUDIES Justin A. Williams, BA, MMus Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2009 0 Musical Borrowing in Hip-hop Music: Theoretical Frameworks and Case Studies Justin A. Williams ABSTRACT ‗Musical Borrowing in Hip-hop‘ begins with a crucial premise: the hip-hop world, as an imagined community, regards unconcealed intertextuality as integral to the production and reception of its artistic culture. In other words, borrowing, in its multidimensional forms and manifestations, is central to the aesthetics of hip-hop. This study of borrowing in hip-hop music, which transcends narrow discourses on ‗sampling‘ (digital sampling), illustrates the variety of ways that one can borrow from a source text or trope, and ways that audiences identify and respond to these practices. Another function of this thesis is to initiate a more nuanced discourse in hip-hop studies, to allow for the number of intertextual avenues travelled within hip-hop recordings, and to present academic frameworks with which to study them. The following five chapters provide case studies that prove that musical borrowing, part and parcel of hip-hop aesthetics, occurs on multiple planes and within myriad dimensions. These case studies include borrowing from the internal past of the genre (Ch. 1), the use of jazz and its reception as an ‗art music‘ within hip-hop (Ch. 2), borrowing and mixing intended for listening spaces such as the automobile (Ch. 3), sampling the voice of rap artists posthumously (Ch. 4), and sampling and borrowing as lineage within the gangsta rap subgenre (Ch.

I say a B.I.G. verse, I’m only biggin’ up my brother1 It is long past time to reform the Copyright Act. The law of copyright in the United States is at one of its periodic inflection points. In the past, major technological change and major shifts in the way copyrightable works were used have rightly led to major changes in the law. The invention of the printing press prompted the first codification of copyright. The popularity of the player piano contributed to a reevaluation of how musical works should be protected.2 The dawn of the computer age led to an explicit expansion of copyrightable subject matter to include computer programs.3 These are but a few examples of past inflection points; the current one demands a similar level of change.

In the 90s many electronic acts applied rock sensibilities to their music in a genre which became known as big beat. After some hesitation, we agreed. Main article: Chiptune. Pietro Grossi was an Italian pioneer of computer composition and tape music, who first experimented with electronic techniques in the early sixties. Music produced solely from electronic generators was first produced in Germany in Moreover, this version used a new standard called MIDI, and here I was ably assisted by former student Miller Puckette, whose initial concepts for this task he later expanded into a program called MAX. August 18, Some electronic organs operate on the opposing principle of additive synthesis, whereby individually generated sine waves are added together in varying proportions to yield a complex waveform. Cage wrote of this collaboration: "In this social darkness, therefore, the work of Earle Brown, Morton Feldman, and Christian Wolff continues to present a brilliant light, for the reason that at the several points of notation, performance, and audition, action is provocative. The company hired Toru Takemitsu to demonstrate their tape recorders with compositions and performances of electronic tape music. Other equipment was borrowed or purchased with personal funds. By the s, magnetic audio tape allowed musicians to tape sounds and then modify them by changing the tape speed or direction, leading to the development of electroacoustic tape music in the s, in Egypt and France.

  • The Imprint of Electronic Dance Music Within a Work by Mason Bates
    POLAK, SUZANNE U., D.M.A. An Analysis of Mainframe Tropics: The Imprint of Electronic Dance Music within a Work by Mason Bates. (2020) Directed by Dr. James Douglass. 67 pp. The author demonstrates through musical analysis of the written score and observations of a YouTube performance, personal performance, and preparation for performance, that Mason Bates’s 2009 work Mainframe Tropics for horn, violin, and piano is an acoustic realization of a short Electronic Dance Music Set. The analysis validates how the three-movement work follows established forms of EDM tracks and is set with elements of rhythmic modulation and continuance within the beat patterns as written (especially Four-on-the-Floor and Breakbeat) and how Bates’s work uses the influence of one genre of music to create an original idea within another genre of music. In addition to the in-depth musical analysis, there is a step-by-step through-analysis for use by performers and composers to better understand the work and its genesis.
