The Art and Technique of Electroacoustic Music

separator

The Art and Technique of Electroacoustic Music is a textbook based on my thirty-three years teaching Electroacoustic Composition at the University of California Santa Cruz.

It covers everything from Music Concrète through DAWs and sequencers to cutting edge tools such as ChucK and Kyma. It is organized for a two semester (or three quarter) course of study, but can also be used as a self study guide.

Available from Amazon.com, published by AR Editions.
