Video about the making of David A. Jaffe's "The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World," the RadioDrum instrument, and other topics in computer music
This video begins with percussionist Andrew Schloss demonstrating a "Drum/Piano" hybrid instrument developed by David A. Jaffe and Schloss for "The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World." It continues with discussions of the RadioDrum and its relative the "radio baton" with inventor Max Mathews (co-inventor: Bob Boie), and includes an interview with Jaffe (at time 4:00), as well as a description of the physical modeling techniques pioneered by Jaffe in such works as Silicon Valley Breakdown and further developed as part of the Stanford University Sondius program, and at Staccato Systems, Inc., the company co-founded by Jaffe, Julius Smith, and several others.
