Summary
This paper describes a software called Critical Point which is used for real-time music compositions, in this case cello composers. This work intends to provide cello performers with sound extensions. This program allows the cello performer to express control of his sound textures. There are algorithms that allow delays and pitch shifts. In addition to Critical Point, the performance also includes animations and videos. Discussion
Even though I have an appreciation for music, I have never practiced playing an instrument. This paper is interesting because I was able to learn a few things that non-musicians take for granted when listening to music. Some of these key issues include the limitation of sounds each instrument can create, the quality of the sound and its textures.
I do play an instrument and I think going through this process gives a new appreciation for the piece that they are playing since they need to really ask themselves what certain parts mean to them.
