More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Trevor Wishart looks at the new developments in music-making and musical aesthetics made possible by the advent of the computer and digital information processing. His emphasis is on musical rather than technical matters. The text begins with a critical analysis of the assumptions underlying the Western musical tradition and the traditional acoustic theories of Pythagoras and Helmholtz. It later examines in detail such topics as the musical organization of complex sound-objects, using and manipulating representational sounds and the various dimensions of human and non-human utterance. The author seeks to learn lessons from areas such as, poetry, sound-poetry, film, sound effects and animal communications - not traditionally associated with the field of music. An audio CD containing many of the musical examples featured in the text is also included.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Definitive, well researched and beautifully illustrated,
By wjanthony@hotmail.com (Surrey, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: On Sonic Art (Inc. CD) (Hardcover)
I still have my copy from my University days and this book lays out the fundamentals of creative sound manipulation.
If you have even a passing interest in sound manipulation beyond pathetic disco-pop regurgitation, get it, read it and enjoy expanding your horizons.
