Download or read book The Mechanics of Mechanical Watches and Clocks written by Ruxu Du and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-09-21 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Mechanics of Mechanical Watches and Clocks" presents historical views and mathematical models of mechanical watches and clocks. Although now over six hundred years old, mechanical watches and clocks are still popular luxury items that fascinate many people around the world. However few have examined the theory of how they work as presented in this book. The illustrations and computer animations are unique and have never been published before. It will be of significant interest to researchers in mechanical engineering, watchmakers and clockmakers, as well as people who have an engineering background and are interested in mechanical watches and clocks. It will also inspire people in other fields of science and technology, such as mechanical engineering and electronics engineering, to advance their designs. Professor Ruxu Du works at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, China. Assistant Professor Longhan Xie works at the South China University of Technology, China.
Download or read book Mechanics of Musical Instruments written by A. Hirschberg and published by Springer. This book was released on 1995 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of the functioning of musical instruments requires knowledge of various branches of mechanics, such as linear and nonlinear vibrations and radiation of strings, plates, bars, membranes, air columns, including the self-sustained oscillations of such systems and fluid mechanics. The aim of this book is to give a systematic account of these phenomena in the context of musical instruments, insisting more on the physical and mathematical methods used to obtain simplified models than on details of the behaviour of particular instruments or specific models.

Download or read book Over and Over written by Olivier Julien and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2018-02-22 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Tin Pan Alley 32-bar form, through the cyclical forms of modal jazz, to the more recent accumulation of digital layers, beats, and breaks in Electronic Dance Music, repetition as both an aesthetic disposition and a formal property has stimulated a diverse range of genres and techniques. From the angles of musicology, psychology, sociology, and science and technology, Over and Over reassesses the complexity connected to notions of repetition in a variety of musical genres. The first edited volume on repetition in 20th- and 21st-century popular music, Over and Over explores the wide-ranging forms and use of repetition - from large repetitive structures to micro repetitions - in relation to both specific and large-scale issues and contexts. The book brings together a selection of original texts by leading authors in a field that is, as yet, little explored. Aimed at both specialists and neophytes, it sheds important new light on one of the fundamental phenomena of music of our times.

A Media Archaeological Excavation postdoc, composer and PhD Morten Riis tunes into normally undetected layers of music. Musical machines - be it ancient or modern instruments, computers, loudspeakers or amplifiers - are not just silent mediators of sounds. They all have their own unique voices. We simply have to learn to listen to them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This updated and augmented second edition covers the history of mechanics in such a way as to explain how this all-important discipline shaped our world. Like the first edition, Dr. Allen presents the material in an engaging, accessible manner, with many historic insights and thorough explanations of attending concepts. The text retains its coverage of classical mechanics, essentially Newtonian mechanics, and adds chapters on three additional topics that go well beyond classical mechanics: relativity, quantum/nanomechanics, and biomechanics.
Download or read book When Machines Play Chopin written by Katherine Hirt and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2010-05-26 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Machines Play Chopin brings together music aesthetics, performance practices, and the history of automated musical instruments in nineteenth-century German literature. Philosophers defined music as a direct expression of human emotion while soloists competed with one another to display machine-like technical perfection at their instruments. When Machines Play Chopin looks at this paradox between thinking about and practicing music to show what three literary works say about automation and the sublime in art.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Time in Music written by Mark Doffman and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-11-01 with total page 617 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Music represents one of humanity's most vivid contemplations on the nature of time itself. The ways that music can modify, intensify, and even dismantle our understanding of time's passing is at the foundation of musical experience, and is common to listeners, composers, and performers alike. The Oxford Handbook of Time in Music provides a range of compelling new scholarship that examines the making of musical time, its effects and structures. Bringing together philosophical, psychological, and socio-cultural understandings of time in music, the chapters highlight the act of 'making' not just as cultural construction but also in terms of the perceptual, cognitive underpinnings that allow us to 'make' sense of time in music. Thus, the Handbook is a unique synthesis of divergent perspectives on the nature of time in music. With its focus on contemporary music (while paying attention to some of the generative temporalities of the nineteenth century), the volume establishes the richness and complexity of so much current music-making and in the process overcomes historic demarcations between art and popular musics.
