The list has been compiled into an html page for eContact! 8.4 Educational Resources. If you wish to add an entry, or to annotate an existing entry, contact jef chippewa directly.

 

Thanks to all for your contributions!

 

The following list should by no means be considered complete. The goal of this particular list of bibliographic references is to provide a set of works which can function as an extended “essential reading list” ordered by topic, and accessible and pertinent to a broad range of readers. Readers who are new initiates, as well as students at various stages of their studies will appreciate the focus of this list, which functions as a sort of filter to the massive amount of literature available addressing the multitudinous aspects of electroacoustics today. Those who are already familiar with these sources are referred to the much larger and expansive bibliography compiled on the ElectroAcoustic Resource Site (EARS).The EARS bibliography contains over 1000 titles, listed by author, and is coordinated by Leigh Landy at De Montfort University.

 

If you have read any of the materials below which are not already annotated and would like to submit a VERY short (15-20 words maximum) summary of one or more items, please contact jef chippewa at jef@econtact.ca

More Recent Works (related to electroacoustics)

• Appleton, Jon H. and Ronald C. Perera (eds.). The Development and Practice of Electronic Music. Englewood Cliffs NJ: Prentice-Hall, 1975.

  The seminal introductory book for the study of electroacoustics with chapters on history (two versions), acoustics and hearing, modular synthesis, and elementary digital synthesis. A milestone in English.

• Dodge, Charles and Thomas A. Jerse. Computer Music: Synthesis, Composition, and Performance, 2nd ed. Thomson-Wadsworth, 1997. 480 pp. ISBN 0028646827.

  A reference book, including many code examples and pointers to significant works of electroacoustic music.

• Schwartz, Elliot. Electronic Music: A Listener's Guide. Da Capo Press. rev. ed., 1989 (Praeger, 1973). 306 pp. ISBN 0306762609.

  The 1973 edition is of historical interest mostly. This edition crossed over between the academic / concert tradition and some pop music elements of the time. Not authoritative, but not a historical curiosity either. A good book for students to read through lightly for a sense of the way we used to be in the early 70s.

• _____. On Sonic Art. Amsterdam: Hardwood Academic Publishers, Simmon Emmerson (ed.), 1996. With CD.

  A rare, rather complete glimpse into the composer’s mind. A must read for ideas on sound and transformations. The better the student’s grasp of fundamentals the easier this book is to work with.

TOPICS

 

 

 

Acoustics, Psychoacoustics and Perception

• Blauert, Jens. Spatial Hearing: The psychophysics of human sound localization. Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 1999.

  The most cited and complete reference on spatial hearing. As a review of research of the past century, it covers spatial hearing with one source, spatial hearing with more than one source or in enclosed spaces.

• Bregman, Albert S. Auditory Scene Analysis — The perceptual organization of sound. Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 1999.

  Not for the faint of heart. A serious detailed reading of ASA. Bregman himself has a one page resume of the essentials, and this hefty tome is the chapter and verse of segmentation, integration, segregation and streaming. A solid reference for courses in ea ear-training, and for psychoacoustics.

• Cook, Perry (ed.). Music, Cognition, and Computerized Sound. 372 pp. With CD-ROM.

  “Topics include the physiology and functions of the ear and the auditory sections of the brain; and special topics in psychoacoustics, including cognitive psychology and the physics of sound... valuable tool in classroom teaching, but it is also appropriate for any musician interested in understanding the perception of sound.”

• Delalande, François. Le Traité des Objets Musicaux dix ans après, Pertinence et analyse perceptive. Cahiers recherche/musique n°2, Jean-Jacques Nattiez (éd.), 1976.

Film and Electronics (or synthetic sounds)

• Larson, Randall D. Musique Fantastique: A Survey of Film Music in the Fantastic Cinema. Metuchen N.J. & London: Scarecrow Press, 1985. 592 pp.

  A good but slightly out of date reference. Because music outside of the mainstream and synthetic sounds tend to signify the “other”, there has been a long association with electroacoustic music and electronic music with science fiction/fantasy films.

Historical Overviews

• Chadabe, Joel. Electric Sound: The Past and Promise of Electronic Music. NJ: Prentice Hall, 1997. 370pp. ISBN: 0133032310.

  Filled with quotes, somewhat US-centric at times, much good background information but now somewhat over a decade old. The challenge is that the history of the loudspeaker and sounds requires many books, not the 370 pages Prentice Hall required Joel to reduce the book to. / A narrative history covering developments in both the pop/commercial and academic/”art” musical arenas. Some great photos, too.
