Musical Tapestry: Re-composing Natural Sounds
نویسندگان
چکیده
A system to aid composition with analysis, transformation, and re-synthesis of natural sounds is described. Sinusoidal analysis is used to isolate and extract deterministic sounds, and transients are also isolated/ extracted, leaving the stochastic background which is parameterized by wavelet tree analysis. All of these components become templates for the synthesis phase, which is controlled (1) by placing templates on timelines or in groups, (2) by real-time manipulation of parameters, and (3) via scripting using the ChucK language. The result is a flexible ‘‘workbench’’ for doing modern day musique concrète or acousmatic composition, sound design, and other sonic sculpting tasks.

An Exploration of Peg Solitaire as a Compositional Tool
Sounds of Solitaire is a novel interface for musical expression based on an extended peg solitaire board as a generator of live musical composition. The classic puzzle game, for one person, is extended by mapping the moves of the game through a self contained system using Arduino and Raspberry Pi, triggering both analogue and digital sound. The solitaire board, as instrument, is presented as a ...
متن کاملA Proposal for using SMS for Expression Modeling
Spectral models have proven to be a successful method for analyzing and re-synthesizing natural and acoustic sounds, to the extent that a musical phrase can also be modeled in order to extract performance parameters. This paper suggests various parameters which are embedded in the spectral analysis or .sms file and proposes some methods which can be used for expression modeling based upon compo...
متن کاملLanguage, Music, and Brain
Introduction: Over the last centuries, scientists have been trying to figure out how the brain is learning the language. By 1980, the study of brain-language relationships was based on the study of human brain damage. But since 1980, neuroscience methods have greatly improved. There is controversy about where music, composition, or the perception of language and music are in the brain, or wheth...
متن کاملInteractive Visual Music: A Personal Perspective
25 Interactive performance is one of the most innovative ways computers can be used in music, and it leads to new ways of thinking about music composition and performance. Interactive performance also poses many technical challenges, resulting in new languages and special hardware including sensors, synthesis methods, and software techniques. As if there are not already enough problems to tackl...
متن کاملMusical Extrapolations: Towards an Understanding of Creative Processes Involved While Music is Being Listened to and Composed
A systematic understanding is suggested about the conditions, mechanisms, influences, and processes evolving into a creative behavior in music, based on interdisciplinary perspectives of the cognitive sciences: developmental psychology, neuroscience, music psychology, emotions research, and creativity research in general and in music. The focus is on so-called musical extrapolations processes w...
