Live Coding - method, art and ideology
Rouš, Jiří ; CÁB, Michal (advisor) ; PEŠEK, Kryštof (referee)
The objective of this work is the depicting and describing of significant features of live coding, a form of audio-visual performance, which has come into existence only lately. For this purpose the work introduces three different ways of looking at this phenomenon. Before defining these methods of viewing in the text, the description of fundamental principles of translation of source code is presented, it being crucial for practicing of live coding. The first perspective looks at live coding as a method of work, the second looks at it as a form of art and the third - as an ideological gesture. Exploiting of these perspectives has helped to discover part of characteristic features of this method, its contextualization in the frame of artistic traditions and the outline of some implicit and explicit ideological aspects, bound to it. The main contribution of the work is creating a general image of this phenomenon in the context of theoretical works in Czech language, devoted to the pursued topic.

Šmitmajer, David ; GUŠTAR, Milan (advisor) ; CÁB, Michal (referee)
The thesis "Art of Magnetic Tape Music" is dedicated to the genesis of the art of music magnetic tape and its effects on the development of modern music. Through a detailed survey of texts dealing with related issues and preserved audio recordings from around the world, the work seeks to map the importance of magnetic carriers, which inherently has helped the creation of electroacoustic music and also development of pop music. Special emphasis is placed on the fifties and sixties of the twentieth century, when the methods of audio recordings manipulation were developing rapidly and were used for compositional practice which at that time was experiencing numerous innovations and technological development. Described is a generally accepted typology, methodology used and the specific design of equipment needed for sound work with a magnetic medium. Marginal survival technique for the magnetic tape manipulation in the global audio digitization at the turn of the millennium is also taken into account.
