Ethan Thompson and David Hamilton explain the math behind music in a fun, concise way in this finalist entry in the 2015 Math-O-Vision contest. Clair uses the Moonlight Sonata "to illustrate the way Beethoven was able to convey emotion and creativity using the certainty of mathematics." Music and math: The genius of Beethoven – Natalya St. From the constraints imposed by these rhythmic patterns, melodies emerged naturally as I composed, special to each prime." The main theme plays in the time signature 7/4, which indicates 7 beats per measure, with an interlude that passes through the signatures 2/4, 3/4 and 5/4 as well. "As the title indicates, the piece is written in prime-numbered time signatures which is to say, there is a prime number of beats in each measure. Robert Schneider (Apples in Stereo/Elephant 6) composed this theme for "MSI (Math Sciences Investigation): Anatomy of Integers and Permutations," a play by mathematician Andrew Granville and screenwriter Jennifer Granville. Robert Schneider - Reverie in Prime Time Signatures (August 2013, Banff Centre). Rickard says that he is "passionate about mathematics, music and educating the next generation of scientists and mathematicians." and MA and PhD degrees in applied and computational mathematics from Princeton University. Scott Rickard has degrees in mathematics, computer science, and electrical engineering from M.I.T. The world's ugliest music: Scott Rickard at TEDxMIA. Sean Hardesty (Rice University) plays the opening of the Sibelius Violin Concerto and discusses the relationship between mathematics and music. Understand and apply basic mixing and mastering techniques and plugins available in Ableton, including but not limited to: compression, EQ, delay, and reverb and the use of return tracks.The Science Behind the Arts: The Maths Behind Music. This includes recording and editing MIDI and Audio clips in both Session and Arrangement view while understanding the differences between them. Set up and check from start to finish an Ableton Live session using their personal setup (could include analog/MIDI devices, microphones, acoustic instruments) or if none of the above, a setup with built in microphone and laptop MIDI keyboard. If no fellow student setups allow, common recording studio contexts (i.e. Select a microphone (from a given list) to use in various recording contexts (which are based on the student setups in the class). These tracks will demonstrate progressively advanced production techniques within the style(s) of music that students are interested in.ĭemonstrate an increased awareness and use of musical terminology when discussing their own and other students’ tracks, based on an overview of relevant music theory concepts (writing chord progressions, rhythm and syncopation exercises). Student Learning Outcomes: Create at least 4 dynamic and thoughtful tracks in Ableton from start to finish using any combination of recorded audio and MIDI clips. The course does not require students to be able to read music nor to own a personal computer.Ĭourse Objectives: Provide a strong conceptual foundation and technical skill set when using Ableton Live and comfort using common Digital Audio Workstation interfaces, with emphasis on producing original music using a variety of setups, troubleshooting, and listening to/discussing other students’ tracks using musical vocabulary. Direct engagement through listening and participatory learning is accomplished in part with software created at the Center for New Music and Audio Technologies. The course is designed to enrich and deepen the students' musical abilities through direct involvement with musical materials. The course focuses on the most adventurous music of our time, but the concepts learned can be applied to any style of music. Composers and musicians of today continue to explore new ways of defining and organizing sounds into music. Students are exposed to terminology and modes of engagement with the aim of inspiring new paradigms of listening (e.g., listening to silence, noise, space, and timbre). This course explores the basic materials and models that set the boundaries for various present-day musical experiences.
