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 ...

This paper will explore ways in which mastered improvisation practice, with the studio as an instrument, is a proposed avenue to bridge the historical dichotomy between what Ted Gioia describe as ‘the aesthetics of perfection’ and ‘the aesthetics of imperfection’. It is proposed as a way to re-embody fixed music, as experimented by the author through the composition of his last fixed-media work...

an extended octagonal ring (eor) transducer was designed and developed to measure forces inside the compression chamber of a large square baler in different directions. the transducer was calibrated by applying forces in three directions simultaneously and independently. the sensor revealed excellent linearity along with small cross sensitivities. horizontal and vertical primary sensitivities o...

At last year’s EMS in Lisbon we introduced the TaCEM project (Technology and Creativity in Electroacoustic Music), a 30-month project funded by the UK’s Arts and Humanities Research Council, and demonstrated the generic TIAALS software being produced as part of this project. This year we present an update on the project, focusing particularly on the first of our case studies, Barry Truax’s Rive...

This paper considers the adaptation and application of a genetic algorithm to find parameters electrodynamic transducer model. The advantages disadvantages this method in comparison with classical identification using added mass are considered. derivation suitability function for estimating identified is presented, which can also be used identify other types electroacoustic transducers. theory ...
