Thanks to all of you who have bookmarked and used this site productivly! I appologize for not keeping it more up to date but I have great news for everybody. Starting today, the Silly Boy Media Group is up and running with the all the links below, as well as many others, and some things I bet you'll find very silly. Please navigate around and let me know what you think. The Silly Boy Media Group is a work in progress, so know that things are changing daily. Just go to www.sillyboymediagroup.com and you will find everything I'm speaking about!
My name is Marcus and the links below are among my favorite and most used. I am a practicing psychoacoustician. While psychoacoustics is my bent (or why I'm bent) because I work most every day of my life in the computer, technology, and media fields, I collect massive amounts of technical knowledge, information, and resources. I author and co-publish Marcus' Psychoacoustic Resources so that I can access this data on any computer (connected to the internet) in the world. It's not all about me though, this page is also for the devoted follower of way too much dry and technical information.Everything I know and can find with regards to acoustics, ambisonics, audio, audiology, bioacoustics, ear physiology, hearing, hearing-aids, hearing-loss, linguistics, listening, noise, noise abatement & control, psychology of audio & sound, psychoacoustics, speech inteligibility, speech pathology, sonics and sound is published here. I am involved daily in sound processing and recording, so recording equipment & measuring device manufacturers, distributers, and resellers are listed and links are provided as well. I deep link to find the information listed as quickly as possible.
The science of psychoacoustics is the study of how the human mind is affected by sound. My focus in studying psychoacoustics is understanding how music affects the individuals, communities, and societies human beings live with and in, so a fair amount of music theory and related links can be found below also. Specific areas I delve into involve the parameters of how, where, and why the sciences of bioacoustics, music theory, and psychology merge. I will be the first to admit, my psychology and music theory selections are quite thin :-(.
If you like the information contained in this site, then by all means, bookmark it and come back often. I committ myself to consistent editing, composing, and creation for Marcus' Psychoacoustic Resources, so be assured that constant, up to the day, information will always be presented. I am also a curmudgeon when it comes to making sure every link on this page is active!
98% of the links below contain
technically demanding, scientifically developed, bleeding edge understandings of the latest
systems, equipment, and knowledge surrounding the human mind, sound, recording, and everything audible. This page has been created to help furthur the science, art, and discipline of
psychoacoustics, the recording sciences, and all applicable sound matters. If you have
questions, comments, constructive critisim, additional links, broken links, or anything else
worthy of e-mail transmission, send it to Me.
Cheers,
Marcus
