• Digital audio basics: audio sample rate and bit depth -- this is a web site put up by a commercial music software company, but it's a pretty good explanation of what we briefly covered in class
  
  
• Max Matthews and the "Music N" languages -- the pioneer of computer music at Bell Labs. There's a good wikipedia entry on him also.
  
  
• Computer Music Languages
  
  We looked quickly at several extant computer music languages showing the 'unit generator' idea created by Max Matthews. Here are a few links to them (we will be discussing Max/MSP and RTcmix later in the class):
  
  • CSOUND
  • SuperCollider
  • ChucK
  
  
• A General Model for Spatial Processing of Sounds -- the 'inner room' acoustic ray-tracing spatialization algorithm written by F. Richard Moore
  
  
• Two New Approaches to the Simulation of Acoustic Spaces -- a paper I wrote back in the olden days, presented to the 1990 International Computer Music Conference
  
  
• ambisonics -- an alternative approach to spatializing audio
  
  
• INTRODUCTION TO DIGITAL FILTERS -- a basic overview of digital fliter theory, by Professor Tony Tyson, Department of Physics, UC-Davis
  
  
• RTcmix SYNC instrument -- the documentation for the 'hard sync' instrument in RTcmix

• Folk Images -- Pine Ridge was the LPC/violin piece I played in class by Paul Lansky.
  
  
• myplaces -- the Unity/VR application I showed using acoustic ray-tracing for spatialization
  
  
• KEAR Residency: Bowling Green State University -- the 8-channel/spatialized pieces I did at BGSU backin 2014.
  
  
• Loochsong -- the fun piece I played with the LPC version of The Looch. In the "additional commentary" is a link to the original dog.
  
  
• Hens Flying Overhead -- the piano piece (no computers!) I played at the end of class.
