  • 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.

  • DSP Class III: Digital Electronic Music Concepts Overview (Part III) ADC and DAC Analog-To-Digital Conversion
    TECH 350: DSP Class III: Digital Electronic Music Concepts Overview (Part III) ADC and DAC Analog-to-Digital Conversion Parameters of ADC: • Sampling Rate (fs) = rate at which analog signal is ^ captured (sampling) (in Hertz) Intensity v • Bit Depth = number of values for each digital sample (quantization) (in bits) Time -> Limitations/Issues with Sampling Distortion caused by sampling, AKA ALIASING (or foldover) How can we rectify (or at least describe) this phenomenon? Sampling (Nyquist) Theorem •Can describe the resultant frequency of aliasing via the following (rough) formula, iff input freq. > half the sampling rate && < sampling rate: resultant frequency = sampling frequency (fs) - input frequency For example, if fs = 1000Hz and the frequency of our input is at 800Hz: 1000 - 800 = 200, so resultant frequency is 200Hz (!) •Nyquist theorem = In order to be able to reconstruct a signal, the sampling frequency must be at least twice the frequency of the signal being sampled •If you want to represent frequencies up to X Hz, you need fs = 2X Hz Ideal Sampling Frequency (for audio) •What sampling rate should we use for musical applications? •This is an on-going debate. Benefits of a higher sampling rate? Drawbacks? •AES Standards: •Why 44.1kHz? Why 48kHz? Why higher (we can’t hear up there, can we?) •For 44.1kHz and 48kHz answer lies primarily within video standard considerations, actually… •44.1kHz = 22 · 32 · 52 · 72, meaning it has a ton of integer factors •>2 * 20kHz is great, as it allows us to have frequency headroom to work with, and subharmonics (and interactions of phase, etc.) up in that range are within our audible range Anti-Aliasing Filters + Phase Correction •How to fix aliasing? Add a low-pass filter set at a special cutoff frequency before we digitize the signal.

  • Fifty Years of Computer Music: Ideas of the Past Speak to the Future
    Fifty Years of Computer Music: Ideas of the Past Speak to the Future John Chowning1 1 CCRMA, Department of Music, Stanford University, Stanford, California 94305 [email protected] Abstract. The use of the computer to analyze and synthesize sound in two early forms, additive and FM synthesis, led to new thoughts about synthesizing sound spectra, tuning and pitch. Detached from their traditional association with the timbre of acoustic instruments, spectra become structured and associated with pitch in ways that are unique to the medium of computer music. 1 Introduction In 1957, just fifty years ago, Max Mathews introduced a wholly new means of mak- ing music. An engineer/scientist at Bell Telephone Laboratories (BTL), Max (with the support of John Pierce, who was director of research) created out of numbers and code the first music to be produced by a digital computer. It is usually the case that a fascination with some aspect of a discipline outside of one’s own will quickly con- clude with an experiment without elaboration. But in Max’s case, it was the begin- ning of a profoundly deep and consequential adventure, one which he modestly in- vited us all to join through his elegantly conceived programs, engendering tendrils that found their way into far-flung disciplines that today, 50 years later, continue to grow without end. From the very beginning Max’s use of the computer for making music was expan- sive. Synthesis, signal processing, analysis, algorithmic composition, psychoacous- tics—all were within his scope and all were expressed and described in great detail in his famous article [1] and the succession of programs MUSIC I-V.1 It is in the nature of the computer medium that detail be elevated at times to the forefront of our thinking, for unlike preceding music technologies, both acoustic and analogue, computers require us to manage detail to accomplish even the most basic steps.

MATHEWS 1926–2011 Elected in 1979 “For contributions to computer generation and analysis of meaningful sounds.” BY C. GORDON BELL MAX VERNON MATHEWS, often called the father of computer music, died on April 21, 2011, at the age of 84. At the time of his death he was serving as professor (research) emeritus at Stanford University’s Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics. Max was born in Columbus, Nebraska, on November 13, 1926. He attended high school in Peru, Nebraska, where his father taught physics and his mother taught biology at the state teachers college there. Peru High School was the training school for the college. This was during World War II (1943– 1944). One day when Max was a senior in high school, he simply went off to Omaha (strictly on his own volition) and enlisted in the U.S. Navy—a fortunate move because he was able to have some influence on the service to which he was assigned, and after taking the Eddy Aptitude Test, he was selected for radar school. Radar, however, was so secret, that Max was designated a “radio technician.” After basic training he was sent to Treasure Island, San Francisco, where he met Marjorie (Marj), who became his wife. After returning from the war, Max applied to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). On graduating with a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from Caltech in 1950, he went to MIT to earn a doctorate in 1954.

    Volume 20, Number 1, March 2014 Copyright © 2014 Society for Music Theory The Editing and Arrangement of Conlon Nancarrow’s Studies for Disklavier and Synthesizers Robert Willey NOTE: The examples for the (text-only) PDF version of this item are available online at: http://www.mtosmt.org/issues/mto.14.20.1/mto.14.20.1.willey.php KEYWORDS: Conlon Nancarrow, MIDI, synthesis, Disklavier ABSTRACT: Over the last three decades a number of approaches have been used to hear Conlon Nancarrow’s Studies for Player Piano in new settings. The musical information necessary to do this can be obtained from his published scores, the punching scores that reveal the planning behind the compositions, copies of the rolls, or the punched rolls themselves. The most direct method of extending the Studies is to convert them to digital format, because of the similarities between the way notes are represented on a player piano roll and in MIDI. The process of editing and arranging Nancarrow’s Studies in the MIDI environment is explained, including how piano roll dynamics are converted into MIDI velocities, and other decisions that must be made in order to perform them in a particular environment: the Yamaha Disklavier with its accompanying GM sound module. While Nancarrow approved of multi-timbral synthesis, separating the voices of his Studies and assigning them unique timbres changes the listener’s experience of the “resultant,” Tenney’s term for the fusion of multiple voices into a single polyphonic texture. Received January 2014 1. Introduction [1.1] Conlon Nancarrow’s compositional output from 1948 until his death in 1997 was primarily for the two player pianos in his studio in Mexico City.

  • Electronic Music - Inquiry Description
    1 of 15 Electronic Music - Inquiry Description This inquiry leads students through a study of the music industry by studying the history of electric and electronic instruments and music. Today’s students have grown up with ubiquitous access to music throughout the modern internet. The introduction of streaming services and social media in the early 21st century has shown a sharp decline in the manufacturing and sales of physical media like compact discs. This inquiry encourages students to think like historians about the way they and earlier generations consumed and composed music. The questions of artistic and technological innovation and consumption, invite students into the intellectual space that historians occupy by investigating the questions of what a sound is and how it is generated, how accessibility of instrumentation affects artistic trends, and how the availability of streaming publishing and listening services affect consumers. Students will learn about the technical developments and problems of early electric sound generation, how the vacuum tube allowed electronic instruments to become commercially viable, how 1960s counterculture broadcast avant-garde and experimental sounds to a mainstream audience, and track how artistic trends shift overtime when synthesizers, recording equipment, and personal computers become less expensive over time and widely commercially available. As part of their learning about electronic music, students should practice articulating and writing various positions on the historical events and supporting these claims with evidence. The final performance task asks them to synthesize what they have learned and consider how the internet has affected music publishing. This inquiry requires prerequisite knowledge of historical events and ideas, so teachers will want their students to have already studied the 19th c.

  • Does Incidental Auditory Learning Facilitate Memory-Guided Attention? a Behavioural and Electroencephalogram (EEG) Study
    Does Incidental Auditory Learning Facilitate Memory-guided Attention? A Behavioural and Electroencephalogram (EEG) Study by Manda Fischer A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Psychology University of Toronto © Copyright by Manda Fischer 2019 Does Incidental Auditory Learning Facilitate Memory-guided Attention? A Behavioural and Electroencephalogram (EEG) Study Manda Fischer Master of Arts Department of Psychology University of Toronto 2019 Abstract Can implicit associations facilitate auditory target detection? Participants were exposed to audio- clips (half included a lateralized pure tone). Participants then took a surprise memory test in which they detected a faint lateralized tone embedded in each audio-clip and indicated if the clip was (i) old or new; (ii) recollected or familiar, and; (iii) if the tone was on the left, right, or not present when they heard the clip at study. The results show good explicit memory for the clip, but not for tone location. Target detection was faster for old than for new clips but did not vary according to the target-context associations. Neuro-electric activity revealed an old-new effect at midline-frontal sites as well as a significant difference between clips that had been associated with the location of the target compared to those that were not. The implications of these findings in the context of memory-guided attention are discussed. ii Acknowledgments Thank you, Professor Morris Moscovitch and Professor Claude Alain, for your enthusiasm and genuine excitement for the unknown. Your curiosity, care, and sharing of knowledge has made this year a truly stimulating and enriching one.
