Spectral Music Design: A Computational Approach will prove a vast and deep source of insight, inspiration, enlightenment, and understanding for the innovative composer, producer, sound designer, and developer. Drawing on a lifetime of experience in the classroom in the studio, on the stage, and in the lab, the 'Leonardo da Vinci' of DSP - Victor Lazzarini - illustrates, demonstrates, explains and shares his masterpieces of code and music in this incredibly inspiring book. For years to come, Spectral Music Design will be a go-to resource for teachers and students of computer music, acoustics, digital signal processing, and computer science, as well as cutting-edge electronic music producers, innovative sound designers, and audio app developers.
Victor Lazzarini completed his doctorate at the University of Nottingham, UK, where he received the Heyman scholarship for research progress and the Hallward composition prize for a large-scale work, Magnificat. His interests include musical signal processing and sound synthesis; computer music languages; electroacoustic and instrumental composition. He joined the Music Department at Maynooth University in 1998 and was Dean of the Faculty of Arts from 2014 to 2019.
