Buy

Focuses on the role of the computer as a generative tool for music composition. Miranda introduces a number of computer music composition techniques ranging from probabilities, formal grammars and fractals, to genetic algorithms, cellular automata and neural computation. Anyone wishing to use the computer as a companion to create music will find this book a valuable resource. As a comprehensive guide with full explanations of technical terms, it is suitable for students, professionals and enthusiasts alike.

The accompanying CD-ROM contains examples, complementary tutorials and a number of composition systems for PC and Macintosh platforms, from demonstration versions of commercial programs to exciting, fully working packages developed by research centres world-wide, including Nyquist, Bol Processor, Music Sketcher, SSEYO Koan, Open Music and the IBVA brainwaves control system, among others.

This book will be interesting to anyone wishing to use the computer as a companion to create music. It is a comprehensive guide, but the technical terms are explained so it is suitable for students, professionals and enthusiasts alike.

*Written by an experienced practising musician, researcher and lecturer
*Features practical examples and comprehensive explanations of essential methods and techniques

Energy Balance and Gastrointestinal Cancer (Energy Balance and Cancer, Vol. 4)

The gastrointestinal track provides one of the distinct systems where multiple malignancies, including adenocarcinoma of the pancreas, esophagus and colon are each associated with obesity. This unique association is covered in this volume of Energy Balance and Cancer from the epidemiologic, biologic and potential etiologic viewpoint. The...

Cardiac Perfusion and Pumping Engineering (Clinically-Oriented Biomedical Engineering)
Cardiac Perfusion and Pumping Engineering (Clinically-Oriented Biomedical Engineering)

Cardiac pumping is dependent on cardiac perfusion. Hence, it is only natural that we address both cardiac perfusion and pumping in this book. We have gone one step further in also considering assisted perfusion by coronary bypass surgery and myocardial regeneration by means of stem cells transformed into implantable cardiomyocytes. The book...


Practical Algorithms for Programmers
Practical Algorithms for Programmers

The purpose of this book is to provide a practical compendium of algorithms for use in applications. Unlike most works on algorithms, this book is not a  textbook: you will not find implementation details left as an exercise for the reader, nor will you find highly theoretical discussions of algorithms with small  snippets of code...
