English | ISBN: 1119252598 | 2017 | 416 pages | PDF | 9.3 MB

A comprehensive guide that addresses the theory and practice of spatial audio

This book provides readers with the principles and best practices in spatial audio signal processing. It describes how sound fields and their perceptual attributes are captured and analyzed within the time–frequency domain, how essential representation parameters are coded, and how such signals are efficiently reproduced for practical applications. The book is split into four parts starting with an overview of the fundamentals. It then goes on to explain the reproduction of spatial sound before offering an examination of signal–dependent spatial filtering. The book finishes with coverage of both current and future applications and the direction that spatial audio research is heading in.

This book offers an approach to film music in which music and visuals are seen as equal players in the game.

Sounds, Societies, Significations: Numanistic Approaches to Music



English | 2017 | ISBN: 3319470590 | 240 Pages | PDF | 10 MB

This edited book covers many topics in musicological literature, gathering various approaches to music studies that encapsulate the vivid relation music has to society. It focusses on repertoires and geographical areas that have not previously been well frequented in musicology. As readers will see, music has many roles to play in society. Music can be a generator of social phenomena, or a result of them; it can enhance or activate social actions, or simply co-habit with them. Above all, music has a stable position within society, in that it actively participates in it. Music can either describe or prescribe social aspects; musicians may have a certain position/role in society (e.g., the “popstar” as fashion leader, spokesman for political issues, etc.). Depending on the type of society, music may have a certain “meaning” or “function” (music does not mean the same thing everywhere in the world). Lastly, music can define a society, and it is not uncommon for it to best define a particular historical moment.
