商品描述
Modular Synthesis: Patching Machines and People brings together scholars, artists, composers, and musical instrument designers in an exploration of modular synthesis, an unusually multifaceted musical instrument that opens up many avenues for exploration and insight, particularly with respect to technological use, practice, and resistance.
Through historical, technical, social, aesthetic, and other perspectives, this volume offers a collective reflection on the powerful connections between technology, creativity, culture, and personal agency. Ultimately, this collection is about creativity in a technoscientific world and speaks to issues fundamental to our everyday lives and experiences, by providing insights into the complex relationships between content creators, the technologies they use, and the individuals and communities who design and engage with them.
With chapters covering VCV Rack, modular synthesis, instrument design, and the histories of synthesizer technology, as well as interviews with Dave Rossum, Corry Banks, Meng Qi, and Dani Dobkin, among others, Modular Synthesis is recommended reading for advanced undergraduates, researchers, and practitioners of electronic music and music technology.

商品描述(中文翻譯)
《模組合成：修補機器與人》匯聚了學者、藝術家、作曲家和樂器設計師，探索模組合成這一多面向的音樂工具，這種樂器為探索和洞察開啟了許多途徑，特別是在技術使用、實踐和抵抗方面。
通過歷史、技術、社會、美學等多種視角，本書提供了一個集體反思，探討技術、創造力、文化和個人能動性之間的強大聯繫。最終，這本合集關注的是在技術科學世界中的創造力，並針對我們日常生活和經驗中的基本問題，提供了對內容創作者、他們所使用的技術，以及設計和參與這些技術的個人和社群之間複雜關係的洞察。
本書涵蓋了 VCV Rack、模組合成、樂器設計以及合成器技術的歷史，並包含對 Dave Rossum、Corry Banks、Meng Qi 和 Dani Dobkin 等人的訪談，《模組合成》是電子音樂和音樂技術的高年級本科生、研究人員和從業者的推薦讀物。

作者簡介
Ezra J. Teboul is a researcher and artist, and currently a student librarian at Concordia University. They obtained a PhD in Electronic Arts from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 2020. In 2022, they were a scholar-in-residence at the Columbia University Computer Music Center. Their work focuses on the material histories of electricity, work, and music.
Andreas Kitzmann is an associate professor of Humanities at York University in Toronto, Canada. His research interests include modular synthesis, technology and culture, digital media and community and memory studies. His self-authored books include The Hypertext Handbook: The Straight Story and Saved From Oblivion: Documenting the Daily from Diaries to Web Cams. He has co-edited two books, and his work has also been included in various edited collections and journals such as A History of English Autobiography (2016), From Text to Txting: New Media in the Classroom (2012), the International Journal of Research into New Media Technologies (2017), First Monday (2015), and Organized Sound (2023).
Einar Engström is a software engineer, modular synthesist, and computer musician. Creatively, he has been known to code in Lua, SuperCollider, Tidal Cycles, and the Teletype esolang, whilst professionally he primarily inhabits the BEAM ecosystem. Both practices are natural extensions to Einar's previous PhD research into the history and philosophy of computing music programming, which focused on the Acoustical and Behavioral Research Center at Bell Laboratories--the first behemoth of innovation in both telecommunications and computing. He also holds an MA in Visual Culture from Waseda University (Tokyo, Japan), is a former editor-in-chief of the bilingual international contemporary art magazine LEAP (Beijing, China) and technician and researcher at RE/Lab (Toronto Metropolitan University), and has hands in various electronic music record labels.

Ezra J. Teboul 是一位研究者和藝術家，目前擔任康考迪亞大學的學生圖書館員。他們於2020年在倫斯勒理工學院獲得電子藝術博士學位。2022年，他們在哥倫比亞大學計算機音樂中心擔任駐校學者。他們的工作專注於電力、工作和音樂的物質歷史。
Andreas Kitzmann 是加拿大多倫多約克大學的人文學科副教授。他的研究興趣包括模組合成、科技與文化、數位媒體以及社區與記憶研究。他自著的書籍包括 The Hypertext Handbook: The Straight Story 和 Saved From Oblivion: Documenting the Daily from Diaries to Web Cams。他共同編輯了兩本書，並且他的作品也被收錄在各種編輯的文集和期刊中，如 A History of English Autobiography (2016)、From Text to Txting: New Media in the Classroom (2012)、International Journal of Research into New Media Technologies (2017)、First Monday (2015) 和 Organized Sound (2023)。
Einar Engström 是一位軟體工程師、模組合成者和計算機音樂家。在創作上，他以使用 Lua、SuperCollider、Tidal Cycles 和 Teletype esolang 進行編碼而聞名，而在專業上，他主要活躍於 BEAM 生態系統。這兩種實踐都是 Einar 之前博士研究的自然延伸，該研究專注於計算音樂編程的歷史和哲學，並聚焦於貝爾實驗室的聲學與行為研究中心——這是電信和計算領域的首個創新巨頭。他還擁有日本早稻田大學的視覺文化碩士學位，曾擔任雙語國際當代藝術雜誌 LEAP (中國北京) 的主編，以及多倫多大學都市學院 RE/Lab 的技術員和研究員，並參與多個電子音樂唱片公司。
