Subject: Re: In search of Basic Pedagogical Audio Material
Dear Olivier,
I have two CDs out which illustrate various
principles of perceptual organization for sound
and music. These are entitled 'Musical Illusions
and Paradoxes' and 'Phantom Words, and Other
Curiosities'. I routinely play demonstrations
from these CDs in large introductory classes, and
they are very well received by the students. The
CDs are available through
http://www.philomel.com. Some of the the sound
demonstrations are also posted on this website,
and some others are posted on
http://www-psy.ucsd.edu/~ddeutsch.
Please let me know if you'd like any further information.
Best regards,
Diana Deutsch

>Dear all,

>Within a very short (2 days) course on Sound

>I already have the sufficient scientific background & material.
>Unfortunately I have no exemplary sound.

>Would anyone have a WWW pointer, or a CD

>I would be particularly interested in sound examples on :
>- perception of Timbre (3D timbre space,
>suppression of attacks or of spectral enveloppe
>evolution, emergence of several instruments by
>applying vibrato...)
>- sound localization, room and space perception
>- perception of pitch (of sine sounds, to begin)
>- eventually auditory illusions
>
>Note that I don't plan on offering a deep
>introduction to psychouacoustics at all.
>Basically, the simple message I would like to
>transmit to learners is that audio perception is
>something complex, sometimes astonishing.
>
>I did not find such www pointers in the list archive, nor on google.

>I consider generally that asking for pedagogical material is not very
nice...
>I allow myself to do so in that case because the
>core topic of my course is not psychoacoustics,
>and because I am only looking for the basics.

>Hope you'll understand !

>I thank you all in advance,
>all the best,
