"This episode delves into the subtleties of sound, as Dr. Rhea delves into the complex world of formants and their pivotal role in shaping the timbre of instruments. Prepare to be captivated by the Electronic Valve Instrument's (EVI) analog warmth and versatility, and learn how formants ensure each instrument in an orchestra can sing its unique song without discord. The human voice as the ultimate formant generator is also a fascinating topic we unravel, shedding light on how this knowledge enhances both synthesis and mixing techniques." Matt Traum
-
-
-
-
"Few people can come close to Tom Rhea's first-hand history with music technology and synthesis. We do a deep dive into his work and his unique perspective on the science and craft."
