This article is a sequel to the article Astronomically Expensive Musical Instruments: Guitars and Violins. As previously mentioned, there are several factors contributing to the price of a musical instrument. Some of these factors can be listed as the level of uniqueness, previous (celebrity) owners and the materials (such as expensive metals and precious stones) used in the manufacturing.

In the post “Low Frequency Oscillator,” an oscillator is used to modulate the frequency of a second oscillator; This is known as frequency modulation. By substituting a low frequency oscillator with a high frequency oscillator, we get Frequency modulation synthesis, which produces harmonically rich spectra with as few as two sine wave oscillators. This technique [...]
With TV shows and movies throwing around words such as anti-matter, quarks, and space-time as casually as you might say “What’s for lunch?” It’s hard to distinguish credible theoretical physics versus true science fiction stuff. The matter is worsen by the apparent back and forth in how stuff is supposed to work. Remember the ether?
Most people are aware of the word Photon to mean a discrete particle of light. You should then be able to guess that a Phonon, similarly, is a quantum of sound (whatever that means). The cool ...
The White House recently announced the installation of solar panels as a signal to its commitment to alternative energy. Solar panels have been around for some time. In fact, the White House first installed solar panels back in 1979 by order of Jimmy Carter but were later removed by Ronald Reagan. It seems everywhere you look, everything and everyone is making a bid to alternative energy.

How about simply going out clubbing. That’s right: Go out, listing to music and party.

For the first four weeks, we’ve covered much ground in terms of Csound basics and synthesizer fundamentals. Today, we begin transitioning into elements of computer music composition, starting with Recontextualizing Ambient Music in Csound by Kim Cascone. There are few resources that approach introductory Csound compostion as elegantly as Cascone’s chapter from The Csound Book. [...]
(click image for large version) After two weeks of synthesizer fundamentals, now is a good time to do a quick review of what has been covered so far by putting these techniques into an actual working instrument. I designed Flat Drum for just this purpose. With the Flat Drum block diagram and code handy, go [...]
A quick and easy way to create a thicker sounding synthesizer patch is to use two oscillators whose frequencies are slightly out of tune. With a minute amount of detuning, you can hear a bit of flange in the voice, as various frequencies are phased in and out through phase cancellation and phase reenforcement. A [...]
A filter in audio synthesis is “a device or process that removes from a signal some unwanted component or feature”. Filters are used all over the place, and have the ability to fully transform audio in a variety of ways. Csound comes with several types of filters, though this example focuses on the four most [...]
The square wave is one of the previously mentioned fundamental waveform. Though it also belongs to another class of waveforms: The pulse wave. The two defining characteristics of a pulse wave are its shape and its width. The shape refers to the fact that it has a flat top and flat bottom. The width of [...]
Noise is every bit as useful as the four waveforms presents earlier, which will become apparent once we cover filters. Noise comes in many different variaties, the most common being white noise and pink noise. This is the sound of white noise: Listen @ SoundCloud Download white_noise.csd here. Synthesis Fall 2010
