Download or read book Machine Musicianship written by Robert Rowe and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2004-01-30 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Musicians begin formal training by acquiring a body of musical concepts commonly known as musicianship. These concepts underlie the musical skills of listening, performance, and composition. Like humans, computer music programs can benefit from a systematic foundation of musical knowledge. This book explores the technology of implementing musical processes such as segmentation, pattern processing, and interactive improvisation in computer programs. It shows how the resulting applications can be used to accomplish tasks ranging from the solution of simple musical problems to the live performance of interactive compositions and the design of musically responsive installations and Web sites. Machine Musicianship is both a programming tutorial and an exploration of the foundational concepts of musical analysis, performance, and composition. The theoretical foundations are derived from the fields of music theory, computer music, music cognition, and artificial intelligence. The book will be of interest to practitioners of those fields, as well as to performers and composers.The concepts are programmed using C++ and Max. The accompanying CD-ROM includes working versions of the examples, as well as source code and a hypertext document showing how the code leads to the program's musical functionality.

Book excerpt: The operator of a San Francisco safe house fights to give sex-trafficking survivors a second chance at life in this story of suspense, romance, and faith. Raised in Thailand and brought to the United States against her will, quiet and intelligent Suda is hiding from a sex-trafficking ring and the man she believed was on her side. Claire, admired as bright and beautiful in high school, now hides her striking looks and uses her sharp wit as a protective shield. Determined to show Suda and Claire a path that allows for a life of their own, Simone, the safe house operator, offers them a haven and a healing path to the future. Moving between the hills of Thailand and San Francisco, this incredible novel traces the journey of two trafficked women pursuing healing and hope. With strong female characters, an undercover cop, and a warmhearted Christian, Across the Deep is an unforgettable story about the resilience of the human spirit and enduring hope. Perfect for fans of Girl in Pieces, The Sea of Lost Girls, Please See Us, and Then She Was Gone. Praise for Across the Deep “After you read the story of a safe house and the unlikely collaboration between Simone and Chai to save the life of a stolen young Thai girl, “human trafficking” will never be a concept for you again?but instead a personal affront to your very soul.” —Jacquelyn Mitchard, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Two If by Sea “As compassionate as it is compelling, Across the Deep plunges us into a brutal underworld of predatory abuse while uplifting us with the warmth of fresh-baked bread, lattes, and an unlikely sisterhood that brims with love, determination, and the joy of getting a second chance at life.” —Catherine Armsden, author of Dream House “McGuinness takes us from a shipping container in Thailand to the docks of San Francisco, putting names and faces on the real and growing tragedy that is human trafficking. We fall hard for these characters who slide between victim, survivor, and hero. No one is safe. Yet, despite the darkness, this is a story of caring for others in a world of faith, hope, and love.” —Cynthia Newberry Martin, author of Tidal Flats

Download or read book Kellanved s Reach written by Ian C. Esslemont and published by Tor Books. This book was released on 2019-04-02 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The conclusion to Ian C. Esslemont's epic fantasy Path to Ascendancy trilogy--a prequel story set in the New York Times bestselling Malazan Empire series--co-created by Steven Erikson. The incessant war between the bickering city states of Quon Tali rages. So engrossed are the warring lords and princes in their own petty feuds that few notice that an upstart mage from Dal Hon has gained control of the southern seas. Kellanved could not care less about any of this petty politicking or strategy or war. Something other and altogether more mysterious has caught his attention and he - together with a reluctant and his decidedly skeptical friend Dancer - traverse continents and journey through the Realms. But this ancient mystery that has so captivated Kellanved is neither esoteric nor ephemeral. It involves the Elder races themselves, and more alarmingly, the semi-mythic Army of Dust and Bone. Surely no one in their right mind would be so foolish as to embark on a journey from which none have returned? Well, no one except Kellanved. Path to Ascendancy #1 Dancer's Lament #2 Deadhouse Landing #3 Kellanved's Reach

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When cash-strapped college student, Emma, is asked by her event-planner employer to participate in a very special office party for an old friend, she reluctantly agrees. The pay is generous and it's just one party, right? Logan is willing to go to any lengths to renew his brief acquaintance with the lovely Emma. A woman who sparked a desire in him he'd thought lost forever. But subterfuge, no matter how innocent the intent, is always fraught with danger. Will the planned entertainment fan the flames of desire for Emma and Logan or smother them forever? **Please note that this is the third book in the three book “Sex In The Office” series. The series is available as individual stories or as a collection titled “Sex In The Office – Volume 1.” The collection contains “Spanked In The Conference Room,” “Loved In The Elevator,” and “Banged In The Board Room.” WARNING: In this erotic short story (approximately 5,500 words), you'll enjoy D/s, voyeurism, m/f, and m/m action in hot, graphic detail. All between consenting adults, of course. Have fun :) . EXCERPT: God, she's magnificent. And se*xy as hell. Watching Emma's performance from the sidelines, Logan couldn't resist the temptation to stroke his own groin, delighted at a firmness he hadn't felt there in a long time. He curled his fingers into a fist to stop himself from unzipping his fly, but mental images of her full, red lips encircling his c*ck continued to torment. Just then, Emma's eyes met his and her mouth curled in a sensual, knowing smile. Logan stopped breathing and didn't start again until her gaze returned to the naked young men in front of her. She had them neatly paired up with two on their knees drawing the underwear down the legs of their standing companions to reveal stiff, rampant erections. All four men were generously endowed and eager to play. The two kneeling began to rise, but Emma stopped them with a twitch of her crop on their butts. “Not so fast, boys,” she said, reaching for the bottle of chocolate syrup. “I thought you wanted dessert.” With that she drizzled Red's and Blue Eyes's p*nises with the rich, dark chocolate, then capped the head of their c*cks with a swirl of whip cream. “Eat up, boys,” she told Butterscotch and Tiger. “And do, by all means, lick your plates,” she added, stroking the back of their heads and urging their mouths toward the waiting feast. Blue Eyes and Red leaned back against the table, their eyes slitted as they watched their brothers-in-play begin the delightful task of licking the sticky sweetness from their hard-ons. Emma used the tip of her whip to lightly caress the c*cks of the kneeling men, stroking the underside from base to tip and tapping the head with the leather popper. Her gentle touch soon had both men squirming, especially when she slid the crop between their butt cheeks and massaged their balls with the flexible head of the whip. Watching her, Logan's fingers twitched toward his groin again. Perspiration dampened his forehead as he fought the desire to tear his clothes off and join the group around the table. Though she hadn't removed any of her clothing, mental images of Emma's pert, naked br*asts, rosy n*pples ripe for sucking, tantalized him. He longed to peel off that tiny thong, spread her thighs, and taste the sweet wetness of her p*ssy. Logan groaned to himself. Helen had been right. This was a very bad idea.
