The fall quarter will include a survey of issues and techniques in live interaction. A series of five assignments will encourage students to master the techniques at the practical level. Here is a trace of what has happened to date:

9/25: Measuring and scheduling things in time; events and signals. (Example patches)
10/2 and 10/9. Examples of interactivity in music of Manoury.
10/16. Parameters and parameter-controlling processes. (Example: null "piece" using PAF). Also. Manoury on Partita.
10/23. measuring spectra of live inputs and data reduction using the cosine transform. (Example patches)
10/30. Parabolic fitting and trends in time; pitch and partial tracking. (Example patches)
11/6. Probability distributions and Markov processes. (Example patches)

...And more stuff to come:

Parametrizing audio algorithms
Measuring and reacting to sinusoidal components
