The second analyzed Clarinet and Oboe tones, and the third presented an analysis of a trumpet tone. These analyses included spectral plots (time versus amplitude for the first 21 partials), spectrographic plots (frequency versus amplitude), and amplitude and frequency versus time plots for the first sixteen partials. Additional information is given about formants of the instruments and the analysis and resynthesis methods which the authors used (The analysis was done with a Heterodyne Filter algorithm). While the authors claim that the tones were resynthesized and were nearly indistinguishable from the originals, they ARE only single, specific notes played on a specific example of the original instrument, so, while they would be a good starting point for re-synthesis of an instrument, they are by no means sufficient. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Title: The acoustical foundations of music / John Backus.

Gareth Loy MUSIC AND CONNECTIONISM is now available from MIT Press. This 280-pp. book contains a wide variety of recent research in the applications of neural networks and other connectionist methods to the problems of musical listening and understanding, performance, composition, and aesthetics. It consists of a core of articles that originally appeared in the Computer Music Journal, along with several new articles by Kohonen, Mozer, Bharucha, and others, and new addenda to the original articles describing the authors' most recent work. Topics covered range from models of psychological processing of pitches, chords, and melodies, to algorithmic composition and performance factors. A wide variety of connectionist models are employed as well, including back-propagation in time, Kohonen feature maps, ART networks, and Jordan- and Elman-style networks. We've also included a discussion generated by the Computer Music Journal articles on the use and place of connectionist systems in artistic endeavors. A more detailed description of the book is provided below (from the jacket text), along with the complete table of contents. MUSIC AND CONNECTIONISM can be found in bookstores that carry MIT Press publications, or can be purchased directly from MIT Press by calling their toll-free order number, 1-800-356-0343, and giving the operator this catalog number: 1CSAT 503, and this book code: TODMH. By phone and mail-order, the price is $39.95; in stores, it will probably be $45 (there is some confusion with the publisher on this point, so I wanted to give out the detailed information for phone orders to save people some money). ****************************************************************************** Music and Connectionism edited by Peter M. Todd and D. Gareth Loy As one of our highest expressions of thought and creativity, music has always been a difficult realm to capture, model, and understand. The connectionist paradigm, now beginning to provide insights into many realms of human behavior, offers a new and unified viewpoint from which to investigate the subtleties of musical experience. Music and Connectionism provides a fresh approach to both fields, using techniques of connectionism and parallel distributed processing to look at a wide range of topics in music research, from pitch perception to chord fingering to composition. The contributors, leading researchers in both music psychology and neural networks, address the challenges and opportunities of musical applications of network models. The result is a current and thorough survey that advances our understanding of musical perception, cognition, composition, and performance and of the design and analysis of networks. Music and Connectionism is based on a core of articles originally appearing as two special issues of the Computer Music Journal. These have been augmented with addenda covering more recent research by the authors. The book opens with tutorial chapters introducing neural networks in a musical context and relevant aspects of previous computer music research, making this a self-contained text. There are many new chapters, along with new section introductions, summaries of related work, and a final debate on the artistic implications of connectionist methods. Peter M. Todd is a doctoral candidate in the PDP Research Group of the Psychology Department at Stanford University. Gareth Loy DMA is an award-winning composer, member of the Board of Directors of the Computer Music Association, lecturer in the Music Department of UC San Diego, and member of the technical staff of Frox Inc.

It explores new representations of musical signals that can have profund effects on the way musicians conceive of and realize musical ideas. In particular, the book focuses on models that combine time-domain and frequency-domain representations (grains, wavelets, and physical models), visual programming and advanced user interfaces, and that incorporate musical knowledge using artificial intelligence techniques and adaptive neural net- works. The 14 contributions take up issues of how musical signals should be displayed to musicians, engineers, and scientists who want to work with them, how professionals can work with the representations to accomplish musical tasks, how systems can be designed to permit working with multiple views of the same signal, and how representa- tions of musical signals should be organized to promote efficient communication between devices using these signals. Representations of Musical Signals is aimed at the expanding group of musicians, engineers, and scientists who are interested in innovative approache to digital audio and computer music. We expect that this book will be useful in undergraduate and graduate courses in computer music, musical acoustics, and digital audio signal processing. Giovanni De Poli is a member of the faculty of the Department of Electronics and Informatics at the University of Padua. Aldo Piccialli is a member of the faculty of the Department of Physics at the University of Naples. Curtis Roads is a composer and consulting editor of Computer Music Journal.
