Physical modelling of brass instruments using finite-difference time-domain methods
- Physics
- 2018
This work considers the synthesis of brass instrument sounds using time-domain numerical methods. The operation of such a brass instrument is as follows. The player’s lips are set into motion by…
The Intrinsic Value of Timbre in Doppelganger
- PhysicsICMC
- 2015
In Doppelgänger, an artistic concept on a large physical scale with a high degree of control over timbre is combined with a method of simulating the timbre of the sound objects using models of mallets and plates.
Sound radiation measurements on guitars and other stringed musical instruments
- Physics
- 2014
This thesis focuses on physical measurements of the sound radiated by stringed musical
instruments. The radiation efficiency, defined as the ratio of acoustical power output to
mechanical power…
Bayesian methods in music modelling
- Computer Science
- 2011
The links between the models and inference algorithms developed in this thesis with that in existing and parallel work are emphasized, and the importance of making modi cations to these models both theoretically and by means of experimental results are emphasized.
