商品描述

Home music producers now have access to a wide variety of software synthesizers, samplers, and FX devices on their computers -- devices that had previously been available only in expensive hardware forms. Although computer musicians often show a high degree of skill and expertise with the technology they use to produce their music, many mistakenly assume that this is all they need to produce quality tracks. Yet there is often a vital ingredient missing: a useful knowledge of the way the language of music actually works -- an understanding of the ingredients of music and how they are put together; what scales, chords, modes, and keys are; and the principles of arrangement, melody, and harmony. In other words, computer musicians may have learned how to use their instruments, but this does not necessarily mean that they know how to create professional-sounding music using those instruments. This book was written to help computer musicians grow in their knowledge of musical harmony, knowledge that is essential for the skilled creation of complex musical works. Topics include intervals, tonality and the key system, part writing, triads, tonic and dominant harmony, modulation, and modal interchange and harmony. Techniques are taught using the tools computer musicians are most familiar with. Rather than using a conventional score format, most of the materials are presented in the familiar piano roll format of computer music sequencing programs. For practice, the companion CD contains numerous short exercises that will considerably improve the musician's skill in the art of musical harmony.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

現在,家庭音樂製作人可以在他們的電腦上使用各種軟體合成器、取樣器和音效設備,這些設備以前只能以昂貴的硬體形式提供。雖然電腦音樂家在使用技術製作音樂時通常展現出高度的技巧和專業知識,但許多人錯誤地認為這就是他們製作優質音樂所需的全部。然而,通常缺少一個重要的元素:對音樂語言實際運作方式的有用知識,包括對音樂成分及其組合方式的理解;音階、和弦、調式和音調的概念;以及編曲、旋律和和聲的原則。換句話說,電腦音樂家可能已經學會如何使用他們的樂器,但這並不一定意味著他們知道如何使用這些樂器創作出聽起來專業的音樂。本書旨在幫助電腦音樂家提升他們對音樂和諧的知識,這對於熟練創作複雜音樂作品至關重要。主題包括音程、音調和調性系統、聲部寫作、三和弦、主音和屬音和聲、調性轉換以及調式交換和和聲。教學使用電腦音樂家最熟悉的工具。大部分材料不使用傳統的樂譜格式,而是以電腦音樂序列程式熟悉的鋼琴卷帶格式呈現。為了練習,附帶的CD包含了許多短篇練習,可以大大提升音樂家在音樂和諧藝術方面的技巧。
