While this allows for much flexibility, this “demutualization” (as Perry Cook termed) sometimes results in a loss of intimacy between the performer and the instrument. In this thesis, we introduce a framework to craft “mutualized” DMIs by leveraging the concepts of augmented mobile device, hybrid instrument design, and skill transfer from existing performer technique. Augmented mobile instruments combine commodity mobile devices with passive and active el- ements that can take part in the production of sound (e.g., resonators, exciter, etc.), while adding new affordances to the device and changing its form and overall aesthetics. Screen interfaces can be designed to facilitate skill transfer, accelerating the learning and the mastery of such instruments. Hybrid instrument design mutualizes physical and “physically-informed” virtual elements, taking advantage of recent progress in physical modeling and digital fabrication. This design ethos allows physical/acoustical elements to be substituted with virtual/digital ones and vice versa (as long as it is physically possible). A set of tools to design hybrid mobile instruments is introduced and evaluated. Overall, we demonstrate how this approach can help digital luthiers to think about DMI design “as a whole” in order to create mutualized instruments. Through a series of case studies, we discuss aesthetic and design implications when making such hybrid instruments. iv Acknowledgments Where to start? So many people need to be thanked for their various contributions to this work. First, I owe so much to my four advisors Professors Julius O. Smith, Chris Chafe, Ge Wang, and Matt Wright. Julius was my former advisor when I came to CCRMA as a visiting researcher in 2011. He’s one of the most enthusiast and curious person I know. He provided me with constant inestimable feedback, and I wouldn’t be here today without his help and support. Chris Chafe has done so much for me since I started my PhD. He got me involved in so many fun and interesting projects. He’s the “benevolent father” of CCRMA, looking at all his kids. His knowledge and understanding of our field as well as his thoughtful advices really helped me move forward in my PhD journey. I collaborated with Ge on various projects related or unrelated to this thesis in recent years. His energy, craziness, curiosity, and ideas are an endless source of inspiration to all of us. CCRMA as I know it would not be the same without Ge. He’s also a very good friend. Matt’s feedback has been priceless both for this thesis and also for the various papers that we co-authored. His sense of detail and his rigor helped me strengthen my work. I want to thank Yann Orlarey who’s been my mentor and my “spiritual father” for the past eight years. Yann has been a constant source of inspiration for me since we met. His kindness, ideas, and awareness of ongoing research and technologies in our field (and beyond) keep inspiring me. Thanks Yann! Thanks to my parents, Gilles and Michèle Michon, to my sister Ninon Michon (Doucette), to my grandmother Marie Michon, to my uncle, aunt, and cousin Serge, Denise, and Sophie Ferreri for their love and unswerving support, even though I’m not sure if they fully understand what I’m doing. I would probably not being dedicating my life to music technology if I didn’t meet Laurent Pottier. Laurent was my former advisor and instructor when I did my bachelors and my masters at Saint-Etienne University. He transmitted me his passion for our field and introduced me to John Chowning who helped me becoming a visiting researcher at CCRMA. I collaborated with Sara Martin to make mesh2faust. This was such a fun experience and this work would not have been possible without her mathematical and physical modeling skills. My dear friend John Granzow and I co-taught most of the workshops that served as the evaluation v vi of the various frameworks presented in this thesis. His work has always been a great source of inspiration for me. Stéphane Letz provided me with invaluable technical help for the various tools presented in this thesis. He’s just so good! GRAME and the Faust community are so lucky to have him. Thanks to Sasha Leitman for making the MaxLab such a productive and cool environment. She helped me a lot in the first years of my PhD as I got interested in the NIME field and musical interaction design in general. I really miss our chats and her Bloody Marys! Thanks to Nette Worthey for being the “CCRMA mum.” We’re all so grateful for her investment in our community and her kindness. CCRMA and the Stanford Music Department are the most incredible and inspiring places I was given to work at. This is partly thanks to their staff and faculty. In particular, I’d like to thank Fernando Lopez-Lezcano, Jonathan Abel, Jonathan Berger, Takako Fujioka, Chris Jette, Jay Kadis, Dave Kerr, Carr Wilkerson, Debbie Barney, Velda Williams, Mario Champagne, Carlos Sanchez, John Chowning, and Jaroslaw Kapuscinski for their help and support throughout my stay here. My friends at Stanford played and invaluable role in this work. People here are both so talented and down to earth. In particular, I’d like to thank Elliot Canfield-Dafilou, Spencer Salazar, Nolan Lem, Madeline Huberth, Tim O’Brien, Constantin Basica, Alex Chechile, François Germain, Emily Graber, Nick Gang, Ethan Geller, Woodrow Herman, Kurt Werner, Chet Gnegy, Myles Borins, Pablo Castellanos Macin, Priyanka Shekar, Eoin Callery, Rahul Agnihotri, Jack Atherton, Hongchan Choi, Esteban Maestre, Ed Berdahl, Luke Dahl, Rob Hamilton, Jay Dunlap, Orchisama Das, Mark Rau, Julie Herndon, Jorge Herrera, Sarah McCarthy, Kara Riopelle, Charlie Sdraulig, Kitty Shi, Jeremy Hsu, Alex Colavin, Dan Schlessinger, Victoria Grace, Blair Kaneshiro, Aury Washburn, Lauri Savioja, Lonce Wyse, Iran Roman, Séverine Ballon, and Victoria Chang. My friends back home always supported me throughout this adventure and always made me feel like I never left. Thanks to Léo and Flavie Brossy, Clément Terrade, Clément Paulet, Julien Sthème de Jubécourt, Ludovic Chaux, Anthony Paillet, Luisa Kabala, Marine Staron, Angie Harry, and Dimitri Bouche. Thanks to Stefania Serafin, Juraj Kojs, Dan Overholt, and Cumuhr Erkut for giving me the opportunity to teach workshops in their respective institutions. Thanks also to the all the workshop participants who served as my guinea pigs! I owe a lot to Stefania for proof-reading this thesis and giving me invaluable feedbacks. Other people in our field helped me put this work together and have been a source of inspiration since I became interested in music technology. In particular, I’d like to thank some of the members of the faculty and staff at the National University of Ireland in Maynooth (NUIM) for being my brilliant instructors during my year there: Victor Lazzarini, Joe Timoney, and Mathieu Hodgkinson. Thanks to my “Faust colleagues” too: Dominique Fober, Albert Graef, Emilio Gallego Arias, Pierre-Amaury Grumiaux, and Pierre Jouvelot. vii Thanks to Pat Scandalis and Nick Porcaro at moForte for our collaborations, for giving my access to their network, and for helping me in various ways during the course of my PhD. Thanks to Professor Doug James for accepting to be the chair of my oral defense committee! Thanks to Stanford University for offering me so many opportunities and for being such an incredible place. Thanks to GRAME in Lyon for hosting me multiple times in the frame of scientific residencies and for funding the development of Faust. I’m so proud to be from a country where artistic creation and scientific research are supported by the state. Finally, thanks to everyone I forgot!

It was useful for doing computations and accounts, and for purposes of conversation because at that time Malacca was crowded with Indian merchants. Many were the men who had become rich by trading in Malacca, so much so that the names of Tamil traders had become famous.

  • 62 Years and Counting: MUSIC N and the Modular Revolution
    62 Years and Counting: MUSIC N and the Modular Revolution By Brian Lindgren MUSC 7660X - History of Electronic and Computer Music Fall 2019 24 December 2019 © Copyright 2020 Brian Lindgren Abstract. MUSIC N by Max Mathews had two profound impacts in the world of music ​ synthesis. The first was the implementation of modularity to ensure a flexibility as a tool for the user; with the introduction of the unit generator, the instrument and the compiler, composers had the building blocks to create an unlimited range of sounds. The second was the impact of this implementation in the modular analog synthesizers developed a few years later. While Jean-Claude Risset, a well known Mathews associate, asserts this, Mathews actually denies it. They both are correct in their perspectives. Introduction Over 76 years have passed since the invention of the first electronic general purpose computer,1 the ENIAC. Today, we carry computers in our pockets that can perform millions of times more calculations per second.2 With the amazing rate of change in computer technology, it's hard to imagine that any development of yesteryear could maintain a semblance of relevance today. However, in the world of music synthesis, the foundations that were laid six decades ago not only spawned a breadth of multifaceted innovation but continue to function as the bedrock of important digital applications used around the world today. Not only did a new modular approach implemented by its creator, Max Mathews, ensure that the MUSIC N lineage would continue to be useful in today’s world (in one of its descendents, Csound) but this approach also likely inspired the analog synthesizer engineers of the day, impacting their designs.

  • The Computational Attitude in Music Theory
    The Computational Attitude in Music Theory Eamonn Bell Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2019 © 2019 Eamonn Bell All rights reserved ABSTRACT The Computational Attitude in Music Theory Eamonn Bell Music studies’s turn to computation during the twentieth century has engendered particular habits of thought about music, habits that remain in operation long after the music scholar has stepped away from the computer. The computational attitude is a way of thinking about music that is learned at the computer but can be applied away from it. It may be manifest in actual computer use, or in invocations of computationalism, a theory of mind whose influence on twentieth-century music theory is palpable. It may also be manifest in more informal discussions about music, which make liberal use of computational metaphors. In Chapter 1, I describe this attitude, the stakes for considering the computer as one of its instruments, and the kinds of historical sources and methodologies we might draw on to chart its ascendance. The remainder of this dissertation considers distinct and varied cases from the mid-twentieth century in which computers or computationalist musical ideas were used to pursue new musical objects, to quantify and classify musical scores as data, and to instantiate a generally music-structuralist mode of analysis. I present an account of the decades-long effort to prepare an exhaustive and accurate catalog of the all-interval twelve-tone series (Chapter 2). This problem was first posed in the 1920s but was not solved until 1959, when the composer Hanns Jelinek collaborated with the computer engineer Heinz Zemanek to jointly develop and run a computer program.
