Product Description
Review
"This well-illustrated book will be a valuable addition on the technical side of electronic music. Composers, many students, and electronic music studios . . . will find [it] more useful than any other. It is the result of a lifetime's experience by a composer . . . who has specialized in the medium and has always had a hands-on relationship with the equipment."-Hugh Davies
Product Description
Tristram Cary's encyclopaedia aims to provide comprehensive information on the technology of music. Its 600 illustrated main entries and 200 subsidiary ones cover an immense musical field. Included are entries on traditional and electronic instruments, and on such topics as computer music composition, microphone placement, and psychoacoustics. They are carefully cross-referenced so that readers can approach a topic from different angles and then be drawn into its complexities, both technical and musical, as far as they wish. This volume should be an essential reference work for music and audio professionals, students, and all music lovers wanting to know more about the techniques behind the music.
