Percepción auditiva [Audio Perception] Gustavo Basso isbn 978-987-558-082-4 2006, 1st edition | 2009, 1st reprint 288 p. | illus. | 400 g $ 42 | usd 11,21
This book seeks to introduce the principles, processes, and elements that are present in sound perception from an acoustic science perspective. It has been designed as part of a broader program on acoustics for musicians and researchers. The subject of study for traditional psychoacoustics is the relationship between acoustic input signals and resulting sounds, but it never sheds light on the processes that lead to such results. On the other hand, neurobiology and the physiology of perception are especially interested in the transduction processes that serve as interface between acoustic signals and associated mental representations. In this case, the authors have mostly adopted the first approach, even though physiological features are described when deemed necessary.
Hacia un dispositivo hipermedial dinámico Educación e investigación para el campo audiovisual interactivo [Towards a Dynamic Hypermedia System. Education and Research in Interactive Audiovisual Media] Patricia San Martín isbn 978-987-558-134-0 2008 | 208 p. | illus. | 280 g $ 36 | usd 9,61
This book explores virtual environment education, research, and production perspectives in the framework of the huge interactive possibilities available for IT users nowadays, focusing on sound and audiovisual applications. It spawns from research conducted by the author and her team under a project that aims at creating a research and learning system for organizational virtual environments. Such project simultaneously addresses three issues: higher education research, learning, and production in virtual environments; interactive features in dynamic hypermedia systems; and relationships among actors in a context-aware hypermedia system.
Música y espacio Ciencia, tecnología y estética [Music and Space. Science, Technology, and Aesthetics] Gustavo Basso Oscar Pablo Di Liscia Juan Pampin (eds.) isbn 978-987-558-184-5 2009 | 328 p. | illus. | 440 g $ 62 | usd 16,55
This book discusses the current state of the art in sound and music spatiality. Given the extensive nature of the issue and its many ramifications in several disciplines –such as acoustics, psychoacoustics, audio perception, audio technology, sound art, and music– it has been essential to establish a set of approaches that would ensure full, systematic coverage. Therefore, the book is divided into three sets of chapters. Firstly, it features a number of articles dealing with spatial audition. Secondly, it presents a series of chapters addressing technologies for simulation and implementation of spatial sound. And last, it introduces a set of writings that discuss spatiality in sound and music production, considering music creation, evaluation, and analysis from aesthetic and technical viewpoints.
