The "macro" formula we start with in this book is CRAC, which stands for Conclusion ("C"), Rule ("R"), Analysis ("A"), and Conclusion ("C"). Within this macro formula, we use "micro" formulas to help you draft the different parts of CRAC. This book also takes different parts of legal work product, such as the introduction to a motion or the question presented of an objective memo, and breaks those parts down into components so that you can see how they are put together and then can write your own by applying those basic constructs. At each juncture of your legal writing journey, this book will give you a roadmap to follow (and a step-by-step list of directions) such that you will never feel completely lost and never find yourself faced with an entirely blank page"--

Download or read book Composing Interactive Music written by Todd Winkler and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2001-01-26 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interactive music refers to a composition or improvisation in which software interprets live performances to produce music generated or modified by computers. In Composing Interactive Music, Todd Winkler presents both the technical and aesthetic possibilities of this increasingly popular area of computer music. His own numerous compositions have been the laboratory for the research and development that resulted in this book. The author's examples use a graphical programming language called Max. Each example in the text is accompanied by a picture of how it appears on the computer screen. The same examples are included as software on the accompanying CD-ROM, playable on a Macintosh computer with a MIDI keyboard. Although the book is aimed at those interested in writing music and software using Max, the casual reader can learn the basic concepts of interactive composition by just reading the text, without running any software. The book concludes with a discussion of recent multimedia work incorporating projected images and video playback with sound for concert performances and art installations.

Download or read book Compose Yourself written by David Alzofon and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2011-01-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Improvising a melody, crafting a catchy tune -- doesn't that take a ton of talent?"Talent helps, but anyone can learn to speak the language of music." That's the message of Compose Yourself, a radically new course in musical creativity inspired by the author's lessons with Jef Raskin, the UC San Diego music professor and Silicon Valley guru who created the Macintosh computer, and renowned jazz guitarist/educator Howard Roberts, founder of Musicians Institute, Los Angeles.If you've ever studied music, you know how cramping theory can be. In contrast, Compose Yourself works like a foreign language course, using dialog games to stimulate your creativity right away and build your musical I.Q. (Imagination Quotient) steadily, day by day. Along the way you learn secrets of rhythm, harmony, and melody, such as the classical forms of time, the rolling wave pattern in pop songs, the emotional power of intervals, the applications of harmonic perspective, the meaning of melody, and the magic of "charm."
