Condition: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | This book presents a novel method of grafting musical wind instruments by exchanging an instrument¿s standard mouthpiece with different tone generators. Using the concrete example of the soprano saxophone, it describes how, with six other t…one generators, including brass, double reed, and free reed mechanisms, the saxophone can be extended to nearly every wind instrument category in the von Hornbostel and Sachs classification system. The book demonstrates how it is possible to play these instrument variations with high proficiency, and describes the method of hyper-specialization, including acoustical insights, conservatory training methods and the underlying philosophy. 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.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Sound, devoid of meaning, would not matter to us. It is the information sound conveys that helps the brain to understand its environment. Sound and its underlying meaning are always associated with time and space. There is no sound without spatial propert…ies, and the brain always organizes this information within a temporal-spatial framework. This book is devoted to understanding the importance of meaning for spatial and related further aspects of hearing, including cross-modal inference.People, when exposed to acoustic stimuli, do not react directly to what theyhear but rather to what they hear means to them.This semiotic maxim may not always apply, for instance, when the reactions are reflexive. But, where it does apply, it poses a major challenge to the builders of models of the auditory system. Take, for example, an auditory model that is meant to be implemented on a robotic agent for autonomous search-&-rescue actions. Or think of a system that can performjudgments on the sound quality of multimedia-reproduction systems. It becomes immediately clear that such a system needs- Cognitive capabilities, including substantial inherent knowledge- The ability to integrate information across different sensory modalitiesTo realize these functions, the auditory system provides a pair of sensory organs, the two ears, and the means to perform adequate preprocessing of the signals provided by the ears. This is realized in the subcortical parts of the auditory system. In the title of a prior book, the term Binaural Listening is used to indicate a focus on sub-cortical functions. Psychoacoustics and auditory signal processing contribute substantially to this area.The preprocessed signals are then forwarded to the cortical parts of the auditory system where, among other things, recognition, classification, localization, scene analysis, assignment of meaning, quality assessment, and action planning take place. Also, information from different sensory modalities is integrated at this level. Between sub-cortical and cortical regions of the auditory system, numerous feedback loops exist that ultimately support the high complexity and plasticity of the auditory system.The current book concentrates on these cognitive functions. Instead of processing signals, processing symbols is now the predominant modeling task. Substantial contributions to the field draw upon the knowledge acquired by cognitive psychology. The keyword Binaural Understanding in the book title characterizesthis shift.Both books, The Technology of Binaural Listening and the current one, have been stimulated and supported by AABBA, an open research group devoted to the development and application of models of binaural hearing. The current book is dedicated to technologies that help explain, facilitate, apply, and support various aspects of binaural understanding. It is organized into five parts, each containing three to six chapters in order to provide a comprehensive overview of this emerging area. Each chapter was thoroughly reviewed by at leasttwo anonymous, external experts.The first part deals with the psychophysical and physiological effects of Forming and Interpreting Aural Objects as well as the underlying models. The fundamental concepts of reflexive and reflective auditory feedback are introduced. Mechanisms of binaural attention and attention switching are covered-as well as how auditory Gestalt rules facilitate binaural understanding. A general blackboard architecture is introduced as an example of how machines can learn to form and interpret aural objects to simulate human cognitive listening.The second part, Configuring and Understanding Aural Space, focuses on the human understanding of complex three-dimensional environments-covering the psychological and biological fundamentals of auditory space formation. This part further addresses the human mechani.

Hardcover. Condition: Sehr gut. 14,50 x 0,00 x 21,01 private Bindung, Einband mit leichten Knicken, sonst SEHR GUTES EXEMPLAR---Mit 230 Abbildungen. Die europäische Durchschlagzunge fand Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts in einer von Christian Gottlieb Kratzenstein entworfenen Sprachmaschine ihre erste Anwendung. Nur wenige Jahre später… verbreitete sie sich auch im Orgelbau, wo sie insbesondere durch Abbé Vogler stark propagiert wurde. Neben den charakteristischen klanglichen Eigenschaften der Durchschlagzunge war vor allem die Stimmstabilität bei Winddruckveränderungen für ihre Verbreitung von großer Bedeutung, weil sie im Gegensatz zu den bisherigen Orgelregistern mit einem Windschweller kombiniert werden konnte. Nach ihrer anfänglichen Beliebtheit nahm die Verbreitung der Durchschlagzunge jedoch Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts stark ab, und Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts wurde dieser Registertyp dann innerhalb der Orgelbewegung ganz aus den Orgelneubauten verbannt. Erst seit Ende des 20. Jahrhunderts werden Durchschlagzungen wieder vereinzelt in neuerbauten Orgeln berücksichtigt. Die Frage, warum das nach seiner Erfindung zunächst so beliebte Instrument wieder relativ schnell an Bedeutung verlor, ist das zentrale Thema dieses Buches. Es zeigt sich, daß für den interessanten geschichtlichen Verlauf mehrere Gründe ausschlaggebend sind. Zum einem machten technische Verbesserungen an Jalousieschwellersystemen und neue Klangkonzepte in der Orgelmusik den Windschweller überflüssig. Während der Windschweller meist auf ein bis zwei Register beschränkt ist, besteht beim Jalousieschweller die Möglichkeit, alle Registertypen einschließlich beliebiger Mehrfachregistrierungen mit einzubeziehen. Andere Gründe, die zur Verbannung der Durchschlagzunge führten, waren eher ideologischer Natur. Hier kann vor allem die Kritik am charakteristischen Klang der Durchschlagzunge und die Ablehnung von fabrikmäßigen Fertigungstechniken in der Orgelbewegung aufgeführt werden. Letzteres war für die ökonomische Herstellung von Durchschlagzungenregistern unabdingbar.
