"Why You Hear What You Hear" is the first book on the physics of
sound for the nonspecialist to empower readers with a hands-on,
ears-open approach that includes production, analysis, and
perception of sound. The book makes possible a deep intuitive
understanding of many aspects of sound, as opposed to the usual
approach of mere description. This goal is aided by hundreds of
original illustrations and examples, many of which the reader can
reproduce and adjust using the same tools used by the author (e.g.,
very accessible applets for PC and Mac, and interactive web-based
examples, simulations, and analysis tools will be found on the
book's website: whyyouhearwhatyouhear.com.) Readers are positioned
to build intuition by participating in discovery.
This truly progressive introduction to sound engages and informs
amateur and professional musicians, performers, teachers, sound
engineers, students of many stripes, and indeed anyone interested
in the auditory world. The book does not hesitate to follow
entertaining and sometimes controversial side trips into the
history and world of acoustics, reinforcing key concepts. You will
discover how musical instruments really work, how pitch is
perceived, and how sound can be amplified with no external power
source.
Sound is key to our lives, and is the most accessible portal to
the vibratory universe. This book takes you there. The first book
on sound to offer interactive tools, building conceptual
understanding via an experiential approach Supplementary website
(http: //www.whyyouhearwhatyouhear.com) will provide Java, MAX, and
other free, multiplatform, interactive graphical and sound applets
Extensive selection of original exercises available on the web with
solutions Nearly 400 full-color illustrations, many of simulations
