| Abstract | This compact volume integrates electronic history, theory, composition, and performance techniques. From this foundation you can launch yourself into the boundless realm of the electronic arts. The author explains how to tap the creative power of real-time composition, the 'glue' of sound and light synthesis. You'll discover visual music as it is expressed through oscillographics and film, videographics, and laser light forms. Electronic instruments are viewed as both live performance and studio instruments, opening up infinite possibilities. Wave theory fundamentals--the heart of the electronic arts--initiate a guided tour of the electronic arts studio that shows you how to design your own. The author describes the instruments you'll find there, shows you how to operate them, and explains their interactions and how to use them to their full potential. He also highlights the computer as an essential component in the system, as a generator and controller of sound and light waves. |
