Most
modern computers and digital audio players can play Ogg Vorbis format
audio "out of the box". A variety of players for most computer
platforms can be found at http://www.vorbis.com
. The multichannel .ac3 format examples are playable on many "home
theatre" systems and on platforms used to create movie soundtrack
content. All tracks are Ogg Vorbis format unless otherwise
specified and intended for download and later playback rather than
real-time streaming.
The following three tracks are from
Peter Carroll-Held's new CD
"Sketches of a Better Time"
issued by Move Records as MCD391.
The album is a virtual reconstruction of a 1900's town hall pipe organ
concert in an upbeat theatrical style.

The following selections are from a
work in progress by MAI staff, some of which will appear on the
album "Naive Impressions".
These
items are in the style of the ground-breaking early synthesists of the
late 1960's and early 1970's whose main tools were analog synthesizers
and reel-to-reel multitrack tape. Analog and early digital-analog
hybrid synthesizers typically had hundreds of controls allowing for
finely nuanced interpretations. Synchronization of the many
tracks necessary for orchestral works performed on synthesizer
was difficult and time consuming in the 1960's and 1970's.
It is much easier today with the Marschall Acoustics Instruments
MKIII real-time Linux based digital audio workstations.
These are another example of using modern tools to achieve "retro"
sounds.

MAI staff are involved in various areas
of mathematical music research and development. The following
selections are examples of computer aided composition with various AI
tools together with digital audio synthesis. These selections
should be played back on good audio equipment in a quiet
environment. Styles vary drastically from selection to selection
as they are proof of concept.
