Publication details, including instructions for authors and subscription information:ABSTRACT A five-layered system of graphical representation has been created for the analysis of electroacoustic compositions. Electronic music often contains spectral changes and other timbral aspects that make traditional music notation inadequate. The sonogram is a useful representation of the frequency spectra and their evolutions. Additional layers have been included to clarify various aspects such as pitch relationships, phrasing, overall dynamic levels and processing techniques. Pitch notation, a phrase analysis, amplitude lines and a text line of comments have been combined to form more accurate visual representations of music.
Several projects involving audio and video transmission between the University of Cincinnati and other sites over the high bandwidth Internet2 have ranged from the simple transmission of video material, to more complex interactive improvisation. A performance of Clotho, the life of Camille Claudel, a musical monodrama collaboration, was streamed in September 2000 over Internet2 to a widely distributed audience. The second project involved my real-time contribution from Cincinnati to a performance happening at Yale University of The Ankle Diver, with music by Matthew Suttor. A network improvisation project with the Soundmesh (formerly Internet Sound Exchange) software resulted in a number of improvisations involving the University of Cincinnati, Columbia University, Yale University and the Fall Internet2 Meeting at the University of Southern California. High-quality audio and flexibility of sound sources and processing is a strength of these improvisations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
