[comp.ai.neural-nets] musical applications of neural nets

viseli@uceng.UC.EDU (victor l iseli) (10/14/89)

Over the past few months, there have been various requests (mine
included.)  for information on music-related applications of neural 
nets.  Since I have not seen any mention of it yet, I felt
that I should bring to light a newly-found source which might contain
some valuable articles:

Computer Music Journal, vol. 13, no. 3.
"Neural Nets and Connectionism 1"

This journal is published by the MIT Press, and subscription in-
formation is available at
  The MIT Press
  55 Hayward Street
  Cambridge, MA 02142.
A brief run-down of the rates ... "$25 for students and retirees,
$28 for individuals, and $63 for institutions.  Subscribers outside
the United States add $9 for surface postage, $17 for airmail.
Single copies of current issues: $8."  Issues appear quarterly.

This particular issue, the fall issue, contains articles covering 
  -- "Preface to the Special Issue on Parallel Distributed Processing
      and Neural Networks"
  -- "Machine Tongues XII: Neural Networks"
  -- "A Neural Net Model for Pitch Perception"
  -- "Connectionist Models for Tonal Analysis"
  -- "The Quantization of Musical Time: A Connectionist Approach"
  -- "Using Connectionist Models to Explore Complex Musical Patterns"
  -- "Fingering for String Instruments with the Optimum Path Paradigm"
  -- others including more special interest and updates on new products.

This is the first issue of a two-issue Neural Network series being
run by this journal.  The next issue of Computer Music Journal is
expected in the Winter (Dec./Jan.), and will expand on some of the
subjects presented in the first featured neural network issue.  If
you are interested in neural nets in music, I suggest checking this
publication out.
