{"product_id":"machine-musicianship-9780262182065","title":"Machine Musicianship","description":"\u003cp\u003eMusicians begin formal training by acquiring a body of musical concepts commonly known as musicianship. These concepts underlie the musical skills of listening  performance  and composition. Like humans  computer music programs can benefit from a systematic foundation of musical knowledge. This book explores the technology of implementing musical processes such as segmentation  pattern processing  and interactive improvisation in computer programs. It shows how the resulting applications can be used to accomplish tasks ranging from the solution of simple musical problems to the live performance of interactive compositions and the design of musically responsive installations and Web sites.  Machine Musicianship is both a programming tutorial and an exploration of the foundational concepts of musical analysis  performance  and composition. The theoretical foundations are derived from the fields of music theory  computer music  music cognition  and artificial intelligence. The book will be of interest to practitioners of those fields  as well as to performers and composers.  The concepts are programmed using C and Max. The accompanying CD-ROM includes working versions of the examples  as well as source code and a hypertext document showing how the code leads to the programs musical functionality.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67924811939893,"sku":"ByrdShop_0262182068","price":246.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780262182065.jpg?v=1794141849","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/machine-musicianship-9780262182065","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
