Abstract

The musician of today often finds himself somewhat at the mercy of the sound engineer, the radio control operator, or the designer of electronic musical instruments. He is bewildered by the language of the cycle and decibel and by the complexity of the circuits, controls, and equipment. The engineer on the other hand is frequently unable to appreciate the viewpoint of the artist, whether through lack of training or by virtue of his temperament. The purpose of this paper is to emphasize the community of interest between the two fields, and to indicate the directions which the writer feels acoustic and electro-acoustic research might take in order to contribute most effectively to the aesthetic development of music.
