Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In Sound Design and Synthesis for Electronic and Modern Music: Beyond the Drop, Rick Snoman draws on over three decades of experience in production, teaching and sound design to explore how synthesis, performance and engineering merge to form the true language of electronic music, bringing together both technical depth and real-world perspective.Through the book's focus on how to create and design sounds that express intent, not imitation, readers will gain practical knowledge of: various synthesis methods and their applications; dynamic processing for controlled energy and impact; saturation and distortion techniques for character and warmth; and effects processing for spatial and textural enhancement.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Oil and natural gas, which today account for over 60% of the worlds energy supply, are often produced by offshore platforms. One third of all oil and gas comes from the offshore sector. However, offshore oil and gas installations are generally considered intrinsically vulnerable to deliberate attacks. The changing security landscape and concerns about the threats of terrorism and piracy to offshore oil and gas installations are major issues for energy companies and governments worldwide. But, how common are attacks on offshore oil and gas installations? Who attacks offshore installations? Why are they attacked? How are they attacked? How is their security regulated at the international level? How has the oil industry responded? This timely and first of its kind publication answers these questions and examines the protection and security of offshore oil and gas installations from a global, industry-wide and company-level perspective. Looking at attacks on offshore installations that occurred throughout history of the offshore petroleum industry, it examines the different types of security threats facing offshore installations, the factors that make offshore installations attractive targets, the nature of attacks and the potentially devastating impacts that can result from attacks on these important facilities. It then examines the international legal framework, state practice and international oil and gas industry responses that aim to address this vital problem.
