The 20th Century saw two revolutionary changes in music. First music was deconstructed from its previously strict form, moving from formal constraints to more accessible melodies. Second, the way in which music was generated radically changed as new electronic equip. Second, the way in which music was generated radically changed as new electronic equipment inspired experiments with sound divorced from traditional acoustic instruments.
More and more, innovative musical ideas became intertwined with technological change. Multi-track recording, editing, and improved microphones allowed for quieter, experimental elements to gain prominence.
And with the advent of digital synthesizers, new music could be made by anyone and sound like almost anything. The Ambient Century is the definitive chronicle of a century of musical change. It reveals the drift from composers to non-musicians, from the single note to the sample.
Encyclopedic, yet with a strong narrative, The Ambient Century covers hundreds of artists, including such diverse artists as Gustav Mahler the pioneer of modern music , Phillip Glass, New Order, and Moby. Lively, compelling, and authoritative-and boasting an unmatched discography.

The estimated discrete-time realization needs to be transformed to the continuous-time domain format. With this technique, we also calculate the Modal Assurance Criterion MAC coefficient that can guess values from 0 to and describes the goodness of the results. After choosing a MAC value we proceed to the comparison. If in the comparison with the ith vector we obtain a greater or equal MAC to the select level, then this vector is selected and the corresponding singular value contributes to the definition of the bell.
It is clear that for lower values of the MAC index larger bells are obtained, but smaller precision in the identification of a single degree of freedom system. Case study: structural description A fifteen century masonry structure located in Mirandola, Italy that was damaged during May 20th, earthquake, has been used as the case study to compare the three identification methods Cimellaro et al.
The Town Hall was built in while the South arcades were added in Finally the entire building was heavily restored in the late nineteenth century. The north arcades of the facade rests on elegant pink marble columns. Some of them report engraved units formerly in use in the Duchy of Mirandola. The Town Hall consists of three separate buildings which were constructed in three different phases: the northern part, which overlooks the square, in the Renaissance style dates back to and went to integrate an existing building, which most likely was the former Town Hall Fig.
The southern Tuscan arcade-style, by the engineer Angelo Mirandola Scarabelli-Pedoca was added to the core building in , and followed the creation of today's Piazza Mazzini, which necessitated the demolition of the adjacent houses to make room for a porch for the trading of wheat.
In , the architect Mario Guerzoni reorganized the interior spaces of the building, planning the closure of the central courtyard by fitting inside a grand staircase inside. The Mirandola Town Hall has rectangular plan with dimensions of about The palace has been seriously damaged during May 20th earthquake. The first mechanism is mainly visible on both the North and South external facades of the palace where it is possible to see of axial flexural failure of the pink marble columns of the North facade and pullout from the masonry wall of the wooden head beams supporting the first floor.
This mechanism also initiated the local collapse of one of the vaults in the South facade Fig. The second mechanism occurred below the external windows of the first floor on the west side and on the internal walls of the palace supporting the central staircase Fig.
