Taylor & Francis Music and Sentimentalism in the Nineteenth and
Book SynopsisIn a wide-ranging study of sentimentalism's significance for styles, practices and meanings of music in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, a series of interpretations scrutinizes musical expressions of sympathetic responses to suffering and the longing to belong. The book challenges hierarchies of artistic value and the associated denigration of sentimental feeling in gendered discourses. Fresh insights are thereby developed into sentimentalism's place in musical constructions of emotion, taste, genre, gender, desire, and authenticity.The contexts encompass diverse musical communities, performing spaces, and listening practices, including the nineteenth-century salon and concert hall, the cinema, the intimate stage persona of the singer-songwriter, and the homely ambiguities of easy' listening. Interdisciplinary insights inform discussions of musical form, affect, appropriation, nationalisms, psychologies, eco-sentimentalism, humanitarianism, consumerism, and subject posTable of Contents1.Introduction: Getting SentimentalPart 1: Spaces2.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Soundwalking
Soundwalking brings together a diverse group of contemporary scholars, artists and thinkers in one of the first comprehensive studies of soundwalking the practice of moving through space while carefully listening to what it has to say to address urgent challenges and concerns of an environmental, ethical, social and technological nature.Besides gaining insight into the historical development of soundwalking as a scholarly method and artistic genre, the reader will have a chance to learn from emerging voices concerned with this practice, of many different backgrounds and positionalities. Soundwalking demonstrates how attentive listening and walking might help with more careful and responsible navigation through the complex dimensions of our shared environments and entangled histories, often imperceptible on a day-to-day basis. The book encourages scholars, artists, and also those unfamiliar with the concept, to engage with it in their respective fields and su

Taylor & Francis Mathematical Music
Book SynopsisMathematical Music offers a concise and easily accessible history of how mathematics was used to create music. The story presented in this short, engaging volume ranges from ratios in antiquity to random combinations in the 17th century, 20th-century statistics, and contemporary artificial intelligence. This book provides a fascinating panorama of the gradual mechanization of thought processes involved in the creation of music. How did Baroque authors envision a composition system based on combinatorics? What was it like to create musical algorithms at the beginning of the 20th century, before the computer became a reality? And how does this all explain todayâs use of artificial intelligence and machine learning in music? In addition to discussing the history and the present state of mathematical music, Braguinski also takes a look at what possibilities the near future of music AI might hold for listeners, musicians, and the society.Grounded in research findinTrade ReviewThis wide-ranging book, accessible to those without extensive background in either music or mathematics, provides a fascinating history of the interrelationship between these two. Braguinski explains, with concrete examples, how recent musical AI is innovative in many ways, but how it also rests on deep foundations built in centuries past.Nick Montfort, Professor of Digital Media, MIT, and Director of The Trope TankTable of ContentsList of figuresAcknowledgmentsComposing with numbers (overview of this book)From continuities... 1 Not a revolution (introduction) 2 Since antiquity 3 Since the Middle Ages 4 Since the early modern period 5 Since the 19th century 6 Since 1900 7 Since 1950 ... to possibilities 8 Powerful and limited (introduction) 9 How does deep learning work? 10 Putting music AI in perspective 11 Real-world music AI 12 Mass-produced and still individual 13 Avant-garde becomes pop’s aide Conclusion Glossary BibliographyIndex

Taylor & Francis Ltd Deep and Shallow
Book SynopsisProviding an essential and unique bridge between the theories of signal processing, machine learning, and artificial intelligence (AI) in music, this book provides a holistic overview of foundational ideas in music, from the physical and mathematical properties of sound to symbolic representations. Combining signals and language models in one place, this book explores how sound may be represented and manipulated by computer systems, and how our devices may come to recognize particular sonic patterns as musically meaningful or creative through the lens of information theory.Introducing popular fundamental ideas in AI at a comfortable pace, more complex discussions around implementations and implications in musical creativity are gradually incorporated as the book progresses. Each chapter is accompanied by guided programming activities designed to familiarize readers with practical implications of discussed theory, without the frustrations of free-form coding.Surveying sTrade Review"Deep and Shallow by Shlomo Dubnov and Ross Greer is an exceptional journey into the convergence of music, artificial intelligence, and signal processing. Seamlessly weaving together intricate theories with practical programming activities, the book guides readers, whether novices or experts, toward a profound understanding of how AI can reshape musical creativity. A true gem for both enthusiasts and professionals, this book eloquently bridges the gap between foundational concepts of music information dynamics as an underlying basis for understanding music structure and listening experience, and cutting-edge applications, ushering us into the future of music and AI with clarity and excitement."Gil Weinberg, Professor and Founding Director, Georgia Tech Center for Music Technology"The authors make an enormous contribution, not only as a textbook, but as essential reading on music information dynamics, bridging multiple disciplines of music, information theory, and machine learning. The theory is illustrated and grounded in plenty of practical information and resources."Roger B.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Choreomata
Book SynopsisIs artificial intelligence (AI) becoming more and more expressive, or is human thought adopting more and more structures from computation? What does it mean to perform oneself through AI, or to construct one's subjectivity through AI? How does AI continue to complicate what it means to have a body? Has the golden age of AI, especially with regards to creative applications, already ended?Choreomata: Performance and Performativity after AI is a book about performance and performativity, but more specifically, it is a book about the performance of artificiality and the performance of intelligence. Both humans and human-designed computational forces are thoroughly engaged in an entangled, mutual performance of AI. Choreomata spins up a latticework of interdisciplinary thought, pairing theoretical inquiry from philosophy, information theory, and computer science with practical case studies from visual art, dance, music, and social theory.Through cross-discTable of ContentsTable of ContentsForewordPrefaceList of ContributorsA.
