Composition and performance as outgrowth of synthesis techniques
Richard Boulanger, Greg Thompson · The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America · 2004
New methods of controlling and interacting with synthesizers are increasingly available to the composer. Advances in input devices enable a large range of gestural parameters to be translated into musically-relevant data, which can then be used in synthesis environments like Csound and Max/MSP. This paper will examine such input devices, including the radio baton, and show how this technology may be combined with existing synthesis techniques to produce exciting new sounds, algorithms, and compositional works.
