Comprehensive online support, running parallel to the explanations in the book, includes hundreds of sample patches, analyses, interactive sound-building exercises, and reverse engineering exercises. This book will provide a reader with skill and understanding in using Pure Data for sound design and musical composition.

A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

FRANCESCO BIANCHI is mainly involved with music composition and computer music. He composed various pieces of both vocal and instrumental electronic music, which have been performed in many music festivals and institutions of several countries (such as the Huddersfield University, the Leeds University, and the Music Conservatories of Rome, Turin, and Perugia). He won the third price at the contest "Valentino Bucchi" in 2008, thanks to his piece "Cercle". On the occasion of Expo 2015 he collaborated on a project on designing the sound for the data captured by a food testing device, developed at the University of Parma. He created several software libraries to extend the features of Pure Data and Max. Also, for these two software applications he is currently working on biosLib, which is a collection of objects that implement artificial life algorithms.

ALESSANDRO CIPRIANI co-authored "Virtual Sound", a textbook on Csound programming. His compositions have been performed at major festivals and electronic music venues, and released on CDs and DVDs issued by Computer Music Journal, International Computer Music Conference as well as others. He has written music for the Peking Opera Theater, as well as for films and documentaries in which ambient sound, dialog, and music all fuse together, interchangeably. He is a tenured professor in electronic music at the Conservatory of Frosinone, a founding member of the Edison Studio in Rome, and a member of the editorial board of the journal Organised Sound (published by Cambridge Music Press). He has given seminars at many European and American universities, including the University of California - Santa Barbara, Sibelius Academy in Helsinki, and Accademia di S. Cecilia in Rome.

MAURIZIO GIRI is a composer, teacher, and audio software developer. He teaches Composition at the Conservatory of Latina and Max programming at the Conservatories of Latina and Frosinone. He writes instrumental and electroacoustic music, computer applications for algorithmic composition, electroacoustic improvisation and live performance, and has published several tutorials on Max. He founded Amazing Noises, a software house that develops music applications and plug-ins for mobile devices and computers. He is Ableton's partner for the development of Max for Live devices. He was "artist in residence" at the Cité Internationale des Artes in Paris, and at GRAME in Lyon. He collaborated with members of the Nicod Institute, a research center of the École Normale Supérieure in Paris, on a project about the philosophy of sound.
