- Music: OMPUTER MUSIC. term used to describe music
composed or performed with the aid of a computer.
The first substantial piece of music composed on a
computer was the Illiac Suite (1956) by the avant-garde
composer Lejaren Hiller (1925-94). Computer music
can be divided into two distinct production techniques:
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface—see electronic
music ) and software synthesis. In MIDI production
a computer is used to control the outputs of synthesizers
and signal-processing devices. Software synthesis,
however, involves the use of a computer to mathematically
represent and manipulate sounds.
This technique was created in the late 1950s by a
team headed by Max Mathews at Bell Laboratories in
Murray Hill, N.J. The techniques were further advanced
by Godfrey Winham and Hubert Howe at Princeton Univ.
Today major centers of software synthesis include
the Institute for Research and Coordination of Acoustics
and Music (IRCAM) in Paris, the Center for Computer
Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA) at Stanford
Univ., the Computer Audio Research Laboratory (CARL)
at the Univ. of California at San Diego, and the Media
Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. |
