A Neurotechnology Approach to the Analysis of Electroacoustic Music: A Proposition
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper I propose an approach to the development of technology for the analysis of electroacoustic music, which is referred to as the neurotechnology approach. I propose the unprecedented possibility of developing tools for the analysis of electroacoustic music based on neurophysiologic models of our auditory system. These tools would reveal the representations that our brain produces at various stages of the auditory pathway, from the cochlea to the cortex. Firstly I describe the journey that sounds take through the auditory pathways from the ears up to the auditory cortices and then I enumerate the sorts of tools that could be developed based on the various stages of this journey and the types of information that they would elicit.

Analysis and Analyses of Electroacoustic Music
Electroacoustic music analysis is a complex and heterogeneous discipline depending on one musical genre which includes a large typology of subgenres: from tape music to computer music, from concrete music, to mixed music, live electronic music, laptop music, etc. Even though there are personal approaches, which causes musical analysis to be a delicate and subjective discipline, some main trends...
متن کاملBroadening Telematic Electroacoustic Music by Affective Rendering and Embodied Real-time Data Sonification
Often played in traditional music performance formats, much recent telematic electroacoustic music focuses on the relationships between people/machines and geographically distributed cultures/spaces/players, and/or it adopts electroacoustic music’s historical concerns with natural environmental sound art or space manipulation. But a more suitable environment for telematic art works is perhaps f...
متن کاملAnalysis of Electroacoustic Works with Music and Language Intersections
This paper proposes a theoretical model for the analysis of music and language intersections in contemporary music. This model is tested on a repertoire of electroacoustic and acoustic pieces, providing examples of blurred boundaries between music and speech. We have defined two axes representing possible dimensions of this relationship: intelligibility and music/speech qualities. The resulting...
متن کاملThe Creation and Projection of Space-Source in Electroacoustic Music
This paper develops the notion of space-source in electroacoustic music. Space-source is one of the four spatial categories, drawn from the theoretical work of Annette Vande Gorne (the other spatial categories are spaceambiophony, space-geometry and space-illusion). It demonstrates the methods by which space-source can be integrated into the compositional process and in the projection of electr...
متن کاملElectroacoustic music studies and the danger of loss
not hide the fact that pure electrical means were also very fruitful. In this article, I will raise issues linked to the study of electroacoustic music, some of which were discussed at the October 2003 meeting at the Pompidou Centre in Paris, organised by De Montfort University’s MTI group and Sorbonne’s MINT group under the auspices of IRCAM, which was the first such event in which internation...
