Introduction to the course syllabus, goals of course, new user accounts, and CCRMA tour. Schedule of student music presentations.
Chowning Turenas
Higher-level description of languages in the course.
How much music in 100 msec? Periodicity, bottom end / top end of hearing. Audio sampling. "Found music" and the advent of recording: (composers) Ruttman, Schaeffer, Reich, Cage, et al. Needledrop demo, short music clips contain 1000 years? Context and implicit timescales.
Chafe, Transect
Sampling resolution; SoX audio file swiss army knife. Bread and butter use of ChucK for synthesis.
Lecture by Digidesign's Jay LeBoeuf, Researcher, Advanced Technology Group, on "The Future of Music Production" - a 220a alum and MA/MST grad - includes "some breakthrough HCI developments, as well as bold predictions on where signal processing can take us. "
Sasha Leitman demonstration of microphone building. A word about transducers, in general.
Perceptual time windows, spectral
windows, bandwidth/time tradeoff with Snd.
Looking
at FM spectra with Freqtweak.
Example
