Product Description
Review
"Beyond a clear and thorough introduction to Max programming, Todd Winkler's Composing Interactive Music presents and explains a comprehensive theoretical framework encompassing the major issues in the field." - Robert Rowe, Music Technology Program, New York University; "For users of the programming environment Max wishing to explore its full potential as an interactive music and multimedia tool, Todd Winkler's Composing Interactive Music is an indispensable guide. More important, Winkler's contribution to the interactive computer field shows both practical and conceptual originality." - Cort Lippe, Director, The Hiller Computer Music Studios, State University of New York at Buffalo"
Product Description
Interactive music refers to a composition or improvization in which software interprets live performances to produce music generated or modified by computers. The author presents both the technical and aesthetic possibilities of this area of computer music. Todd Winkler's own numerous compositions have been the laboratory for the research and development that resulted in this book. The author's examples use a graphical programming language called Max. Each example in the text is accompanied by a picture of how it appears on the computer screen. The same examples are included as software on the accompanying CD-ROM, playable on a Macintosh computer with a MIDI keyboard. Although this book is aimed at those interested in writing music and software using Max, the casual reader can learn the basic concepts of interactive compositions by just reading the text, without running any software. The book concludes with a discussion of late-1990s multimedia work incorporating projected images and video playback with sound for concert performances and art installations.
