Proceedings of the EAA Joint Symposium on Auralization and Ambisonics 2014
In consideration of the remarkable intensity of research in the field of Virtual Acoustics, including different areas such as sound field analysis and synthesis, spatial audio technologies, and room acoustical modeling and auralization, it seemed about time to organize a second international symposium following the model of the first EAA Auralization Symposium initiated in 2009 by the acoustics group of the former Helsinki University of Technology (now Aalto University). Additionally, research communities which are focused on different approaches to sound field synthesis such as Ambisonics or Wave Field Synthesis have, in the meantime, moved closer together by using increasingly consistent t...
Extended Notation
Most of the extended instrumental playing techniques, as well as electroacoustic music in general, are still deprived of a conventional method of notation. In order to facilitate the utilization of these unconventional musical elements, a coherent and consistent notation system is developed in this work. Numerous extended techniques for playing string instruments, wind instruments, percussion instruments, keyboard instruments and vocal techniques are therefore systematically explained and previous methods of notation discussed.
Advances in Fundamental and Applied Research on Spatial Audio
Spatial audio is a dynamic and rapidly evolving field, as it is closely linked to advances in computer technology and digital signal processing. The democratization of virtual reality hardware available as consumer devices has moved the field further out of traditional laboratory research, and directly into applied research targeting a wide range of consumers. Advances in Fundamental and Applied Research on Spatial Audio presents a collection of eight peer-reviewed chapters on this exciting area of research. The contributions are organized into three sections: “Acoustic Methodology”, “Perception”, and “Applications”, and cover a range of topics, addressing both headphone- and loudspeaker-based reproductions, offering both methodological overviews and specific case studies.
Sound as Popular Culture
Scholars consider sound and its concepts, taking as their premise the idea that popular culture can be analyzed in an innovative way through sound. The wide-ranging texts in this book take as their premise the idea that sound is a subject through which popular culture can be analyzed in an innovative way. From an infant's gurgles over a baby monitor to the roar of the crowd in a stadium to the sub-bass frequencies produced by sound systems in the disco era, sound—not necessarily aestheticized as music—is inextricably part of the many domains of popular culture. Expanding the view taken by many scholars of cultural studies, the contributors consider cultural practices concerning sound not...
An Introduction to Audio Content Analysis
An Introduction to Audio Content Analysis Enables readers to understand the algorithmic analysis of musical audio signals with AI-driven approaches An Introduction to Audio Content Analysis serves as a comprehensive guide on audio content analysis explaining how signal processing and machine learning approaches can be utilized for the extraction of musical content from audio. It gives readers the algorithmic understanding to teach a computer to interpret music signals and thus allows for the design of tools for interacting with music. The work ties together topics from audio signal processing and machine learning, showing how to use audio content analysis to pick up musical characteristics a...
Mental Health | Atmospheres | Video Games
Gaming has never been disconnected from reality. When we engage with ever more lavish virtual worlds, something happens to us. The game imposes itself on us and influences how we feel about it, the world, and ourselves. How do games accomplish this and to what end? The contributors explore the video game as an atmospheric medium of hitherto unimagined potential. Is the medium too powerful, too influential? A danger to our mental health or an ally through even the darkest of times? This volume compiles papers from the Young Academics Workshop at the Clash of Realities conferences of 2019 and 2020 to provide answers to these questions.
Wie Hörgewohnheiten die Musikproduktion prägen. Entwicklungen und Veränderungen unter kulturellen, technischen und psychoakustischen Aspekten
Bereits in den 80er Jahren nannten Jugendliche in einer Musikbefragung insgesamt 40 verschiedene Typen ihrer Musikpräferenzen, Tendenz steigend. Musikalische Stilbarrieren sind gefallen und vermischen sich allmählich. Der technische Fortschritt lässt neue Gattungen und Trends entstehen – die gewohnten Höreindrücke ändern sich. Gleichzeitig kristallisieren sich besonders akzeptierte Musikstücke der Vergangenheit heraus, die nach wie vor beliebt sind, obwohl ihr Trend längst abgeflacht ist und ihre Auskopplungen Jahre zurückliegen. Diese Studie gibt einen Überblick darüber, welche charakteristischen Merkmale Hörgewohnheiten verändern können und betrachtet diese aus dem Blickwinkel von Kultur, Technik und Psychoakustik. Dabei wird Wert auf Praxisnähe und exemplarische Erklärungen gelegt, die sich im Bereich der Unterhaltungsmusik bewegen. Insbesondere werden die Stilrichtungen Pop/Electronica, Hip-Hop/Rap und Rock/Metal beleuchtet.
Das Vorspiel
Was ist das mit der Musik ? Warum ergreift sie uns so unmittelbar, so intensiv ? In fünfzehn Begegnungen mit Menschen, die sich ihr ganz verschrieben haben, spürt Carolin Pirich dem Wesen der Musik nach und versucht, ihren Zauber greifbar zu machen. Denn: Musik ist mit den Menschen verbunden, so einfach ist es. Sie erzählt vom Leben, Menschen teilen sich über sie mit, andere hören ihnen zu. Carolin Pirich fragt und hört genau zu, wenn eine Dirigentin wie Joana Mallwitz, Musiker wie Christian Tetzlaff oder Igor Levit, aber auch Nachwuchstalente, Mozarts Geige, der Platzanweiser in der Oper oder die Musik selbst in Worten, Tönen und Pausen erzählen – und so entsteht wie nebenbei ein lebhaftes Bild des modernen Musikbetriebs: vom Vorspiel bis zum Medienstar. »Mit dem ersten Einsatz, bei dem die Musik wirklich erklingt – von da an wird alles gut.« Joana Mallwitz
