Corrected link to Aerophonious Intent (and random comments)

Sorry about the bad link to Aerophonious Intent --
I spelled the word wrong and the spell checker didn't
catch it (guess this is the penalty for making up words).
The corrected link is:

About the new edition of TTSS, Jon commented:

Great to see it back, this time I'll get
my own copy - any best place to
get it (either best discount or seller where *you* get the most mileage)?

Thanks for asking, but there is no real
difference for me -- so from the least expensive place for you...
I think the Amazon price is "27% off," though since the
list price is so high this still doesnt mean it's cheap.
The link at Amazon for the new edition (red hardcover) is

(that link is long and yahoo will probably split it up so you
may need to cut/paste to get there). If you see the purple
covered version, that's the one that's out of print.

About the Matlab code, Dave wrote:

BTW, I wanted to run your Matlab code, and since I
don't have Matlab, I installed Scilab
(http://scilabsoft.inria.fr/) and found that it did a
fine job of importing your code into its own format.

That's fascinating... I haven't heard of Scilab.
Glad to hear that it is compatible. There is also a
public domain Matlab-clone called "Octave" that someone
has told me works as well. It's at

http://www.octave.org/

Thanks for the comments!

Sounds like Local Anomaly...?

Thanks, I'd heard of Octave but haven't tried it yet. BTW, Scilab is free as well.

Well, yes, I suppose it does in a pretty
fundamental way... like Local Anomaly,
Aerophonious Intent uses the adaptive
tuning, and you can pretty clearly hear the
pitches slide and glide around as they adjust
to minimize the dissonance at each time instant.
They are also similar in that the percussion tracks
are fairly lively.

In Local Anomaly, all the sounds were derived from
strings. Aerophonious Intent uses strings, but has a
larger pallette of sounds including a bunch of
aerophone-like sounds (mostly generated by synths --
primarily the TX81Z and Bitheadz Unity).
Part of the effect is also caused by an extensive
use of hocketing where each synth patch plays
one out of every eight notes of the melody (i.e.,
the notes rotate through the synth patches).
This tends to destroy the coherence of the melody
line, but makes for an interesting timbral/rhythmic
effect.

Major learning curve though... If you look around at research labs you
can find compatible programs that work with it.

There may be something here that works with audio I know there's all
sorts of video/cv stuff. There must be a page somewhere with audio
stuff.

I don't know if this is the same thing as the old SAL {which no longer
seems to have content} but they used to have lots of signal stuff at
kachinatech.
