Introduction to Computer Music

About this book

An up-to-date core undergraduate text Introduction to Computer Music deals with both the practical use of technology in music and the key principles underpinning the discipline. It targets both musicians exploring computers and technologists engaging with music and does so in the confidence that both groups can learn tremendously from the cross-disciplinary encounter. It is designed to approach computer music as its own subject and strongly bridge the arts to computing divide benefiting and reconciling both musicians and computer scientists. You will need little or no prior experience of computer programming itself and may not have an extensive background in mathematics or music but this highly engaging textbook will help you master many disciplines at once with a focus on both fascinating theories and exciting practical applications.
