John Chowning, the Glossary

John M. Chowning (born August 22, 1934, in Salem, New Jersey) is an American composer, musician, discoverer, and professor best known for his work at Stanford University, the founding of CCRMA - Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics in 1975 and his development of the digital implementation of FM synthesis and the digital sound spatialization while there.^[1]

Amplitude

The amplitude of a periodic variable is a measure of its change in a single period (such as time or spatial period).

See John Chowning and Amplitude

Biotechnology

Biotechnology is a multidisciplinary field that involves the integration of natural sciences and engineering sciences in order to achieve the application of organisms and parts thereof for products and services.

See John Chowning and Biotechnology

La Communauté électroacoustique canadienne (CEC; English: The Canadian Electroacoustic Community) is Canada's national electroacoustic / computer music / sonic arts organization and is dedicated to promoting this progressive art form in its broadest definition: from "pure" acousmatic and computer music to soundscape and sonic art to hardware hacking and beyond.

Carrier wave

In telecommunications, a carrier wave, carrier signal, or just carrier, is a periodic waveform (usually sinusoidal) that carries no information that has one or more of its properties modified (the called modulation) by an information-bearing signal (called the message signal or modulation signal) for the purpose of conveying information.

See John Chowning and Carrier wave

Computer science

Computer science is the study of computation, information, and automation.

See John Chowning and Computer science

Doctor of Musical Arts

The doctor of musical arts (DMA) is a doctoral academic degree in music.

See John Chowning and Doctor of Musical Arts

Electric organ

An electric organ, also known as electronic organ, is an electronic keyboard instrument which was derived from the harmonium, pipe organ and theatre organ.

See John Chowning and Electric organ

Electronics

Electronics is a scientific and engineering discipline that studies and applies the principles of physics to design, create, and operate devices that manipulate electrons and other electrically charged particles.

See John Chowning and Electronics

Frequency

Frequency (symbol f), most often measured in hertz (symbol: Hz), is the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit of time.

See John Chowning and Frequency

Frequency modulation

Frequency modulation (FM) is the encoding of information in a carrier wave by varying the instantaneous frequency of the wave.

See John Chowning and Frequency modulation

Frequency modulation synthesis

Frequency modulation synthesis (or FM synthesis) is a form of sound synthesis whereby the frequency of a waveform is changed by modulating its frequency with a modulator.

See John Chowning and Frequency modulation synthesis

Golden ratio

In mathematics, two quantities are in the golden ratio if their ratio is the same as the ratio of their sum to the larger of the two quantities.

Harvard University Press

Harvard University Press (HUP) is a publishing house established on January 13, 1913, as a division of Harvard University, and focused on academic publishing.

IRCAM

IRCAM (French: Ircam,, English: Institute for Research and Coordination in Acoustics/Music) is a French institute dedicated to the research of music and sound, especially in the fields of avant garde and electro-acoustical art music.

Modulation

In electronics and telecommunications, modulation is the process of varying one or more properties of a periodic waveform, called the carrier signal, with a separate signal called the modulation signal that typically contains information to be transmitted.

See John Chowning and Modulation
