Abstract First published in 1985, this book has been embraced worldwide as the best available introduction to the use of computer synthesis in musical composition. This new edition builds on the foundation of the original book to address the revolution in computing technology that has put computer music within the reach of all, including the availability of powerful personal computers at low cost, the development of user-friendly software, and the establishment of the MIDI interface for digital control of music hardware. Many new compositional examples are included, and current trends in performance practice are described. In short, this book serves as a thorough introduction to the world of computer music--synthesis, composition, and performance--written in such a way that music students can understand it.
