Product Description
Review
"Nicolas Collins wants to tear apart your CD player" – Wired magazine
"Nic Collins’ hacking manual helps us create creatures with three arms and three legs. It carries the maverick, inventor-tinkerer tradition of Harry Partch, Henry Cowell and David Tudor into the 21st century. And it does so in a light, deft way — its charmingly simple, casual diagrams hide the fact that its author is a sophisticated fellow who has done a lot of thinking, conversing and music-making in the course of his travels and explorations." – from foreword by David Behrman
"There are times in the history of any art form when its true visionaries set down in words the blueprint behind an entire generation of genius. Collins has done just that with Handmade Electronic Music, an essential manifesto of know-how, trade secrets, and aesthetic accomplishment leaping off from Cage and Tudor and landing in today's classroom." – Thom Holmes, author of Electronic and Experimental Music and The Routledge Guide to Music Technology
