SUMMARY:Exploring wind instruments through simulation - Professor Jim Wood
 house (CUED)
DTSTART:20230224T124500Z
DTEND:20230224T134500Z
UID:TALK195148@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Paras Vadher
DESCRIPTION:The talk will look at the physics behind some musical wind ins
 truments: the reed woodwinds\, and the brass family. These all rely on an 
 acoustical feedback loop\, involving the linear acoustics of the instrumen
 t tube and a nonlinear flow valve at the reed or the brass-player’s lips
 . Simulation models will be used to explore the details of the resulting w
 aveforms\, and also to map the playing behaviour into a graphical represen
 tation of a parameter space relevant to the player. These “playability m
 aps” shed light on what has to be learned by a beginner on these instrum
 ents\, in order to get the best out of their instrument.
