We offer many resources, services, and on-site facilities to the physics community, including our electronic instrument design lab and our fabrication machine shop.
With an eye towards historical context as well as modern usage, topics include the physics of sound, digital representations of music, the Digital Audio Workstation (DAW), analog and digital synthesis techniques, MIDI and sequencing, electronic instrument design, notation software, generative music systems, and computational analysis of music.
The name of the project is taken from the Rhythmicon (1931), an early electronic instrument designed by Leon Theremin for Henry Cowell.
Both were impressed by the flamboyant color of the music produced by another visitor from the Americas, Heitor Villa-Lobos, and both were intrigued by a new invention: the electronic instrument designed by Maurice Martenot and known as the ondes martenot.
Second was the development of electromechanical and electronic musical instruments designed to replace existing musical instruments—specifically, the invention of electronic organs.
By George W. S. Trow and Alison Rose The New Yorker, September 17 , 1990P. 34 Talk story about theremins, (electronic musical instruments designed in 1918) and about Steve Martin, a theremin afficionado, who is planning a movie about a theremin player he met named Clara Rockmore.
KORG USA, Moog Music Inc. and several other makers of electronic instruments are reviving designs from decades past, particularly several vintage synths that first appeared in the late 1960s and 1970s at the dawn of electronic music's infiltration of mainstream pop consciousness.
Examples include educational strategies to sensitize staff to the problem, instrument design to reduce the risk of ambiguity leading to non-response, and the use of electronic data checks to ensure that all fields are complete.
Electronic instrument, any musical instrument that produces or modifies sounds by electric, and usually electronic, means.
