Computer Music by E.J. Garba,E. J. Garba Pdf

With today's technological advancement, the making of digital music is possible with just a click of the mouse. In other words, this book fuses the two worlds of computer and music; thereby adding musical creativity to the average computer user, while for the conventional musician, this remains the best cost effective and innovative approach to music making in this new millennium. This is a fully illustrative and simplified approach to rhythm programming, processing and mastering! Some of the main topics covered in this book: Fundamental principles of rhythm programming; Creating realistic and inhuman music; Creating samples and SoundFont bank modules; FruityLoops and drum notation; Music styles and their basic rhythms ; Creating groovy bass lines; Programming sampled orchestra; Real-time or automated rhythm control; Rhythm arrangement in space and in time; Creating special effects; Effective use of effects in rhythm tracks; PC troubleshooting for optimal audio performance. Furthermore, because the major areas of challenge in Computer Music include PC Mastery, Music Theory/Practical, Creativity, Sound, Audio Production and digital audio programming, this book will shed some light on them; giving the reader a clearer understanding of how to face them with high expectations of fruitful results. There are lots of books written on music and computer - separately though. This book, however, is a cutting edge in these areas; since it provides the musician with the opportunity to digitalize his creative ideas.

Digital Da Vinci by Newton Lee Pdf

The Digital Da Vinci book series opens with the interviews of music mogul Quincy Jones, MP3 inventor Karlheinz Brandenburg, Tommy Boy founder Tom Silverman and entertainment attorney Jay L. Cooper. A strong supporter of science, technology, engineering and mathematics programs in schools, The Black Eyed Peas founding member will.i.am announced in July 2013 his plan to study computer science. Leonardo da Vinci, the epitome of a Renaissance man, was an Italian polymath at the turn of the 16th century. Since the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century, the division of labor has brought forth specialization in the workforce and university curriculums. The endangered species of polymaths is facing extinction. Computer science has come to the rescue by enabling practitioners to accomplish more than ever in the field of music. In this book, Newton Lee recounts his journey in executive producing a Billboard-charting song like managing agile software development; M. Nyssim Lefford expounds producing and its effect on vocal recordings; Dennis Reidsma, Mustafa Radha and Anton Nijholt survey the field of mediated musical interaction and musical expression; Isaac Schankler, Elaine Chew and Alexandre François describe improvising with digital auto-scaffolding; Shlomo Dubnov and Greg Surges explain the use of musical algorithms in machine listening and composition; Juan Pablo Bello discusses machine listening of music; Stephen and Tim Barrass make smart things growl, purr and sing; Raffaella Folgieri, Mattia Bergomi and Simone Castellani examine EEG-based brain-computer interface for emotional involvement in games through music and last but not least, Kai Ton Chau concludes the book with computer and music pedagogy. Digital Da Vinci: Computers in Music is dedicated to polymathic education and interdisciplinary studies in the digital age empowered by computer science. Educators and researchers ought to encourage the new generation of scholars to become as well rounded as a Renaissance man or woman.
