AJAX SOUND STUDIO | PYO. Dedicated Python module for digital signal processing Pyo is a Python module written in C to help DSP script creation.

Pyo contains classes for a wide variety of audio signal processing. With pyo, the user will be able to include signal processing chains directly in Python scripts or projects, and to manipulate them in real time through the interpreter. Tools in the pyo module offer primitives, like mathematical operations on audio signals, basic signal processing (filters, delays, synthesis generators, etc.), but also complex algorithms to create sound granulation and other creative audio manipulations. pyo supports the OSC protocol (Open Sound Control) to ease communications between softwares, and the MIDI protocol for generating sound events and controlling process parameters. pyo allows the creation of sophisticated signal processing chains with all the benefits of a mature and widely used general programming language.

Free Software details | Cornell Electroacoustic Music Center. One of the explicit goals of CEMC is to incite users to develop their own working methods and creative procedures. Part of this is accomplished through information provided in lectures and in your time engaging the software available in the studios. But as time goes by you will want to build your own software toolkit.

Free software is an excellent way to do this and there are many powerful applications available. Indeed, many represent unique compositional tools unmatched in the world of commercial music software. Below is a recent compilation of recommended software for various operating systems. First, a few quick links to downloads directly pertinent to lectures: PureData installers (for pd-extended, all operating systems)JACK audio connection kit for OSX Images/office/publishing: GIMP (Photoshop replacement) -- GIMPShop (Photoshop replacement) -- Mac-specific Recommendations (often Mac version of above apps): Linux Applications: 7 Essential Books on Music, Emotion, and the Brain. By Maria Popova What Freud has to do with auditory cheesecake, European opera and world peace. Last year, Horizon’s fascinating documentary on how music works was one of our most-liked pickings of 2010. But perhaps even more fascinating than the subject of how music works is the question of why it makes us feel the way it does.

Today, we try to answer it with seven essential books that bridge music, emotion and cognition, peeling away at that tender intersection of where your brain ends and your soul begins. We love the work of neuroscientist and prolific author Oliver Sacks, whose latest book, The Mind’s Eye, was one of our favorite brain books last year. Why music makes us feel the way it does is on par with questions about the nature of divinity or the origin of love. Patel also offers this beautiful definition of what music is: Sound organized in time, intended for, or perceived as, aesthetic experience.

Music Theory for Musicians and Normal People. By Toby W. Rush This page includes links to each of the individual Music Theory pages I've created in PDF form. This is a work in progress; I am writing new ones regularly and fixing errors and omissions on existing ones as I find them. If you find them useful for your theory studies, you are welcome to use them, and if you find errors or have suggestions, I invite you to contact me. These pages are available for free under a Creative Commons BY-NC-ND license. This collection is a work in progress, but if you would prefer, you can download all the current pages as a single PDF. If this makes you excited enough that you'd like to purchase a theory-related shirt, hat, bag, button or sticker, visit my T-shirts And Other Stuff page.
