The Sounds of Music
• The Musical Sound– Sound concepts
• parameters:– duration– amplitude– frequency– harmonics– phase– direction
– Analog representations– Digital representations
• ADC-DAC• sampling• quantization• format
• The Sounded Music– music as performance
• live vs. recorded• expression
– tempo– dynamics– vibrato– timbre
• Instruments and Technique
• The Sight of Music– the performer– the environment

The Musical Sound
• Hearing: changes in pressure

frequency=~20Hz–20kHz[Heinrich Hertz 1857–
94 (telegraph)]
intensity ratio=~20–100dB[Alexander Graham Bell,
1847–1922 (telephone)]

Sound Concepts
• A=amplitude – max. elongation
• λ=wavelength– distance between two points of the same ph
ase• f=frequency=1/λ
– cycles per second (Hz)

Phase
• phase shifted by 180º– phase distortion,
audio image out of focus

Analog
• air pressure analogous to electrical voltage
• continuous-time signals
• problem: mechanical noise, multiplies in copying

Digital
• air pressure-electrical voltage-binary digits (bit)
• discrete-time signals
• ADC• DAC

Quantization
• 1-bit vs. 4-bit – 1-bit=2 amplitude
levels– 4-bit=16 amplitude

Quantization
• 4-bit vs. 8-bit• the higher the b
it-rate, the greater the dynamic range (from loud to soft)
• 1-bit=6 bB, 16-bit=96 dB

Quantization and Sampling Rates
• CD: 16 bit/44.1 kHz/stereo, 12 cm Disc: 650–700 MB– Red Book standard 1980
• DVD: 24 bit/96 kHz, 4.7 GB– 1998
• SACD: 2.8 MHz, 4.7 GB– 1999

MD, mp3, DAT…
– compressed format, not recommended for research• MD• mp3
– DAT: good but magnetic…

Graphical Representations of Sound
2-D
3-D
• temporal representation– amplitude vs. time
• spectral representation– amplitude vs. frequency
– frequency/intensity vs. time (spectrogram)

Timbre as Expression
• bel canto vs. pop• musician vs. singer• traditional vs. authentic • counterpoint vs. Klangmotiv

Sound of Music
• “sol do la fa mi do re, sol do la ti do re do”“But it doesn’t mean anything!”“So we put in words, one word for every note, like this…” (Sound of Music)
• “Thus, music no longer in need of words now seems more than ever in need of words.” (Scott Burnham)– 侯珅譯 : 現在不需要文字的音樂似乎比有文字的音
樂還要多 )!?• “A picture is worth a thousand words.”
