Jean-Claude Risset (; born 18 March 1938, Le Puy-en-Velay, France) is a French composer, best known for his pioneering contributions to computer music. He is a former student of André Jolivet and former co-worker of Max Mathews at Bell Labs. Arriving at Bell Labs, New Jersey in 1964, he used Max Mathews' MUSIC IV software to digitally recreate the sounds of brass instruments. He made digital recordings of trumpets and studied their timbral composition using "pitch-synchronous" spectrum analysis tools, revealing that the amplitude and frequency of the harmonics (more correctly, partials) of these instruments would differ depending on frequency, duration and amplitude. He is also credited with performing the first experiments on a range of synthesis techniques including FM Synthesis and waveshaping. After the discrete Shepard scale Risset created a version of the scale where the steps between each tone are continuous, and it is appropriately called the continuous Risset scale or Shepard-Risset glissando. He has also created a similar effect with rhythm in which tempo seems to increase or decrease endlessly.〔 〕〔 〕 ==Selected works by Jean-Claude Risset== Vocal music *Dérives, for choir and magnetic tape (1985) 15' *Inharmonique, for soprano and tape (1977) 15' Orchestral music *Escalas, for large orchestra (2001) 17' *Mirages, for 16 musicians and tape (1978) 24' Chamber music *Profils, for 7 instruments and tape (1983) 18' *Mutations II for ensemble and electronics (1973) 17' Solo music *Trois études en duo, for pianist (bidirectional MIDI piano with computer interaction) (1991) 10' *Huit esquisses en duo, for pianist (bidirectional MIDI piano with computer interaction) (1989) 17' *Voilements, for saxophone and tape (1987) 14' *Passages for flute and tape (1982) 14' *Variants for violin and digital processing (1995) 8' Music for solo tape *Invisible Irène (1995) 12' *Sud (1985) 24' *Songes (1979) 10' *Trois mouvements newtoniens, for tape (1978) 13' *Mutations (1969) 10' *Computer Suite from Little Boy (1968) 13' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jean-Claude Risset」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
