At 18:28 Dr. Chowning reads, "After eight years of learning, research, and development of Frequency Modulation synthesis and theory involving mathematics and Bessel functions beginning in 1964, I presented Turenas in the spring of 1972. The work was the realization of a dream as it included all I had learned from the patient researchers at the Stanford AI lab. Four channel surround sound, moving sounds in an imaginary space, and fully developed FM. But its discovery in 1967 (which I just described) was straightforward discovery of the ear. I had no background in math or technology, but my well-trained ear heard something no one else could hear or even imagine in the day. Complex tones that were remarkably simple for a computer to produce. The Bessel functions and mathematics explain FM, but are nowhere present in its production. FM is a gift of nature. Hence, Turenas.”
Great show, thank you for doing the livestream!
