This account also includes a detailed exegesis of the acoustical principles behind the Dream House’s unique array of frequencies. spatialization of music spirituality...

... less than “the rational basis upon which radio drama as we now know it stands.” This chapter examines McGill's “rational basis,” focusing on the perspectival qualities in the conventional use of acoustics, sound effects, and amplitude, arguing that in the dramas of space and time, theory of sound...

...Figure 26.1. From waveforms to words. Continuously varying acoustic signals (A) are analyzed in the afferent auditory system. The analysis streams yield “neural versions” of spectrograms (spectrotemporally specified representations) in bilateral auditory cortex (B) Based on this high-resolution...

... understandings of scientific endeavour, and it is this aspect of musical science that is chiefly focused on here. In his Sylva Sylvarum (1626) Francis Bacon advocated the investigation of music and sound (acoustics), while a decade later in his Harmonie Universelle Marin Mersenne established the musical laws...

... and the acoustic characteristics generated by the room geometry. Generally, the rooms were rectangular with high ceilings, between 4 and 8 metres, with volumes between 200 and 1000 cubic metres. Such rooms, when occupied, have moderate reverberance, which helps maintain the individuality of separate voices...

...This chapter discusses the use of sound or acoustics for exploring the sea and for understanding the life histories of marine organisms. It describes how acoustics is used for surveying deep ocean landscapes and migrations in diverse fauna living below the surface waters. The chapter discusses...

...The period between 1880 and 1930 laid the foundations for modern oceanography. It was a time of great expeditions and great expansion of sophisticated instrumentation. A shift to acoustics and marine physics also emerged, and along with this expansion came great advances in ocean engineering, which...

... and a growing roster of top talent, there were still many challenges to be met in the Starday studios, including poor acoustics and equipment. An echo unit was later built to enhance recordings.

...Chapter 2 presents an aesthetic history of how ambient music has sought to enable feelings of ontological security by indirectly situating the self against imaginary acoustic horizons. Roquet traces how the landscapes made sensible by ambient music became increasingly abstract and anonymous moving...

...This chapter argues that Wheatstone’s achievements in the fields of acoustics and long-distance communication were the direct result of his early education in musical instrument building. Jackson begins by considering the scientist’s early career in light of the particular culture of music...

...This chapter deals with the mathematics of ocean acoustics. A number of environmental factors affect the transmission of sound in the ocean, including the depth and configuration of the bottom, the sound velocity structure within the ocean, and the shape of the ocean surface. The depths...

... to. Horizontal versus vertical exploration applies also to the four pedals, which may either be pushed down individually or in various combinations by turning one’s feet sideways. But to see Op. 53 as an exercise in French acrobatics only, the chapter argues, is to overlook the deep acoustical roots...

.... The wave equation is manifest in analysis of physical phenomena that display wave like properties. This includes electromagnetic waves, heat waves, and acoustic waves. We consider the case of the simple vibrating string. A string under horizontal tension T is subjected to a small vertical...

This change was made despite other evidence indicating a community falling on hard times: poorly repaired mosaics and stone...
