Ecologies of Creative Music Practice Mattering Music

Ecologies of Creative Music Practice Mattering Music

Ecologies of Creative Music Practice: Mattering Music explores music as a dynamic practice embedded in contemporary ecological contexts one that both responds to and creates change within the ecologies in which it is created and consumed. This highly interdisciplinary analysis includes theoretical and practical considerations – from blockchain technology and digital platform commerce to artificial intelligence and the future of work to sustainability and political ecology – as well as contemporary philosophical paradigms guiding its investigation through three main lenses: How can music work as a conceptual tool to interrogate and respond to our changing global environment? How have transformations in our digital environment affected how we produce distribute and consume music? How does music relate to matters of political ecology and environmental change? Within this framework music is positioned as a starting point from which to examine a range of contexts and environments offering new perspectives on contemporary technological and ecological discourse. Ecologies of Creative Music Practice: Mattering Music is a valuable text for advanced undergraduates postgraduates researchers and practitioners concerned with producing performing sharing and listening to music. | Ecologies of Creative Music Practice Mattering Music

Mathematical Music From Antiquity to Music AI

Mathematical Music From Antiquity to Music AI

Mathematical Music offers a concise and easily accessible history of how mathematics was used to create music. The story presented in this short engaging volume ranges from ratios in antiquity to random combinations in the 17th century 20th-century statistics and contemporary artificial intelligence. This book provides a fascinating panorama of the gradual mechanization of thought processes involved in the creation of music. How did Baroque authors envision a composition system based on combinatorics? What was it like to create musical algorithms at the beginning of the 20th century before the computer became a reality? And how does this all explain today’s use of artificial intelligence and machine learning in music? In addition to discussing the history and the present state of mathematical music Braguinski also takes a look at what possibilities the near future of music AI might hold for listeners musicians and the society. Grounded in research findings from musicology and the history of technology and written for the non-specialist general audience this book helps both student and professional readers to make sense of today’s music AI by situating it in a continuous historical context. | Mathematical Music From Antiquity to Music AI
