Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

MATHEWS, Max V. Two items. (1) "The Digital Computer as a Musical Instrument" in Science, vol 142 no. 3592, 1 November 1963 in the issue of pp of (ii), 545-624 with the Mathews on pp 553-557. This is the full issue extracted from a larger bound volume with the spine finely restored professionally with a slick paper backing. VG/Fine copy. (2) C. Roads, "Interview with Max Mathews", in Computer Music Journal, vol 4 no. 4, Winter 1980, published by the MIT press. 95p, with the Mathews interview on pp 15-22. Original wrappers. Slick paper. FINE copy. This issue comes with a **flexidisk** recording laid in: Paul Lansky, "Two Fantasies on a Poem by Thomas Campion" (1980) on side one. Side two: "Examples of digital sound synthesis techniques by James Dashow", and with "Opening section of Prisms by Stanley Haynes". 7"x 7". Black acetate (?) Very Fine. [++] Both are laid into a new and very fine four-fold case with leather joints. Lovely. "The rapid evolution of [Mathews] work inspired [him] to publish a visionary 1963 Science Magazine piece [offered here] confidently predicting the computer would soon emerge as the ultimate musical instrument. 'There are no theoretical limits', he wrote, 'to the performance of the computer as a source of musical sounds." And: "Two further major 1950s developments were the origins of digital sound synthesis by computer, and of algorithmic composition programs beyond rote playback. Max Mathews at Bell Laboratories developed the influential MUSIC I program and its descendants, further popularising computer music through a 1963 article in Science [the paper offered here]. --Bogdanov, Vladimir, "All Music Guide to Electronica: The Definitive Guide to Electronic Music", 1980, Backbeat Books. p. 321. "Max Vernon Mathews (1926-2011) was a pioneer of computer music, He studied electrical engineering at the California Institute of Technology and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, receiving a Sc.D. in 1954. Working at Bell Labs, Mathews wrote MUSIC, the first widely used program for sound generation, in 1957. For the rest of the century, he continued as a leader in digital audio research, synthesis, and human-computer interaction as it pertains to music performance. In 1968, Mathews and L. Rosler developed Graphic 1, an interactive graphical sound system on which one could draw figures using a light-pen that would be converted into sound, simplifying the process of composing computer generated music. Also in 1970, Mathews and F. R. Moore developed the GROOVE (Generated Real-time Output Operations on Voltage-controlled Equipment) system, a first fully developed music synthesis system for interactive composition and realtime performance."--Wikipedia n Max Mathews. [++] "[Mathews] published another detailed paper, "The Digital Computer as a Musical Instrument" in Science, November 1, 1963. These papers created a widespread interest in the generation of waveforms by digital computers, for musical or research purposes." John R. Pierce quoted in "Technology, Musical Perception, and the Composer". --"Technology and Perception," by J. Timothy Kolosick.…
