Evolution of Music
In the video we saw in class we learned about the advancement of music with the
development of technology. The first thing that we saw was how the bell makers now use
computers to eliminate the unwanted sounds from bells by creating bells of different
shape. Also we saw how the organ manipulates sound by sending it through different tubes
of different diameters and by decreasing or increasing the size of the tubes then we saw
how technology manipulates all those sounds by using filters. How those filters work.
Sound is converted into a digital signal of ones and zeros that that signal can be
filtered using hardware or software. Since sound is already converted into ones and
zeroes, using software we can eliminate parts of sound for which we already know how the
signal would lock like in numbers. Hardware wise I don't really know how it is done. Then
we saw how a professor from a university was given the task of finding out the quemical
components of the varnish and of the wood of Stradivarius violin's that way we could
reproduce those. When locking into the varnish he found out that the varnish contained
powder made from precious stones. Then when he locked into the chemical components of the
wood of the violine he found out that the wood was wood of fresh just cut wood that was
marinated since it was fir a time in salt water probably do to that the wood was
transported by drag in it through the sea to the place of it's destination. The professor
theory is that the two famous violin makers didn't really knew or specifically choose the
wood and the varnish it was gust luck and being at right place at the right time.
