Peter Lang AG, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften Signals, Systems and Sound Synthesis
Book SynopsisThe subject of this book is the synthesis and treatment of sound by computer. Using illustrations, animations, sound examples and sample programs, it introduces the most important techniques of sound and score synthesis and explains the technical and mathematical principles necessary for understanding them. After reviewing fundamentals of acoustics, the author describes system and signal theory and introduces the programs and programming languages used in the book. The traditionally important synthesis techniques are described in detail, as are various nonlinear synthesis techniques and synthesis by physical modeling. The concluding chapters of the book deal with the projection of sound in space and with the use of algorithmic and stochastic procedures in computer music. The appendix contains a survey of basic mathematical principles, various tables for reference and a detailed index. The included CD contains the entire text of the book, as well as additional chapters and explanations, sound examples, animations illustrating dynamic processes and many sample computer programs.Table of ContentsContents: Fundamentals of Acoustics – Signals and Systems – Computer Programs and Programming Languages – Fundamentals of Sound Synthesis – Nonlinear Techniques – Other Techniques for Sound Analysis and Synthesis – Physical Modeling – Sound and Space – Computers and Composition.

Leuven University Press Unsayable Music: Six Reflections on Musical
Book SynopsisUnsayable Music presents theoretical, critical and analytical reflections on key topics of contemporary music-including acoustic, electroacoustic, and digital music-and audiovisual and multimedia composition. Six essays by Paulo C. Chagas approach music from different perspectives such as philosophy, sociology, cybernetics, musical semiotics, media, and critical studies. Chagas's practical experience, both as a composer of contemporary music and sound director of the Electronic Music Studio of Cologne, nourishes his observations on the specific creativity that emerges with the use of the technical apparatus, the development of the electronic music studio, the different aesthetics of electroacoustic music, and the forms of audiovisual and multimedia composition. The title Unsayable Music is a reference to Wittgenstein, who suggested that sound is only the surface of music and that the musical work conceals something more profound that can hardly be described by philosophical models or scientific theories.Trade Review"Paulo C. Chagas is one of those remarkable composers well versed not only in the methods and means of musical creation but also in theoretical issues of aesthetics, semiotics, mathematics, and philology. This book displays an exceptional grasp of a wide range of complex theoretical and philosophical issues, all of them nonetheless directly connected to the act of composing music. Indeed, it is precisely because of his passionate intellectual engagement that Chagas's music always exhibits emotional immediacy as well as technical sophistication. Both his works and his ideas draw their inspiration from the wellspring of daily life and its frequently harsh realities."-Walter Clark, University of California, RiversideTable of ContentsIntroduction 1.
