商品描述
Mathematical Music offers a concise and easily accessible history of how mathematics was used to create music. The story presented in this short, engaging volume ranges from ratios in antiquity to random combinations in the 17th century, 20th-century statistics, and contemporary artificial intelligence.
This book provides a fascinating panorama of the gradual mechanization of thought processes involved in the creation of music. How did Baroque authors envision a composition system based on combinatorics? What was it like to create musical algorithms at the beginning of the 20th century, before the computer became a reality? And how does this all explain today's use of artificial intelligence and machine learning in music? In addition to discussing the history and the present state of mathematical music, Braguinski also takes a look at what possibilities the near future of music AI might hold for listeners, musicians, and the society.
Grounded in research findings from musicology and the history of technology, and written for the non-specialist general audience, this book helps both student and professional readers to make sense of today's music AI by situating them in a continuous historical context.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
《數學音樂》提供了一個簡明且易於理解的歷史，說明數學如何被用來創作音樂。這本短小而引人入勝的書籍講述的故事，涵蓋了從古代的比例到17世紀的隨機組合、20世紀的統計學，以及當代的人工智慧。
本書提供了一幅迷人的全景，展示了創作音樂過程中思維方式逐漸機械化的過程。巴洛克時期的作曲家是如何構想基於組合數學的作曲系統的？在20世紀初，電腦尚未成為現實時，創作音樂算法是什麼樣的體驗？這一切又如何解釋今天在音樂中使用人工智慧和機器學習的情況？除了討論數學音樂的歷史和當前狀態外，布拉古金斯基還探討了音樂人工智慧的未來可能為聽眾、音樂家和社會帶來的機會。
本書基於音樂學和技術史的研究成果，為非專業的普通讀者而寫，幫助學生和專業讀者在持續的歷史背景中理解當今的音樂人工智慧。
作者簡介
Nikita Braguinski is a musicologist and historian of technology. He studied musicology at the University of Cologne and wrote his PhD in media theory at the Humboldt University of Berlin. He was a visiting postdoctoral fellow at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science, a postdoctoral fellow of the Music Department at Harvard University, and most recently a postdoctoral researcher at Humboldt University where he wrote this book. He plays flute, piano, and guitar (but only when nobody is listening). His past musical experience ranges from playing in a rock band to jazz compositions, symphonic music, and electronic dance music.
作者簡介(中文翻譯)
Nikita Braguinski 是一位音樂學家和技術歷史學家。他在科隆大學學習音樂學，並在柏林洪堡大學撰寫了媒體理論的博士論文。他曾擔任馬克斯·普朗克科學史研究所的訪問博士後研究員，哈佛大學音樂系的博士後研究員，最近則是在洪堡大學擔任博士後研究員，並在此撰寫了本書。他會吹長笛、彈鋼琴和吉他（但只有在沒有人聽的時候）。他過去的音樂經歷涵蓋了從搖滾樂隊演奏到爵士作曲、交響音樂和電子舞曲。
