Books in the Current Research in Systematic Musicology series

NIME is a leading music technology conference, and an important venue for researchers and artists to present and discuss their explorations of musical instruments and technologies.Each of the papers is followed by commentaries written by the original authors and by leading experts.

Since musical acoustics imply subjects playing instruments or singing in order to produce sound according to musical structures, this area is also covered including a study that presents an artificial intelligent agent capable to interact with a real ('analog') player in musical genres such as traditional and free jazz.

This book surveys research on nonlinearities in musical systems, discusses tools for analyzing sounds in the Fourier and the phase space domains, and introduces the Finite-Element and Finite-Difference methods for physical modeling of musical instruments.

The latter is based on the cultural traditions of the different wind instrument prototypes and the Deep Listening philosophy of cultivating internal diversity, and approach that leads to a new level of wind instrument virtuosity that offers great timbral variety combined with the flexibility of a regular acoustic wind instrument.
