More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars
a well written mix of the ingredients involved,
This review is from: Introduction to Computer Music (Paperback)
I am looking to teach a course on the use of mathematics in music and there is lots here that I can use. For me, mathematics is absolutely not a problem: what I need to be sure of is that the music part is real. There is just enough maths here for me to follow through with other texts, and to be clear that I understand just what the maths is doing. Also, I thought this was sufficiently well written that my students could read this for one of their project choices.

Fantastic Guide,
By Daniel Worrall (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Introduction to Computer Music (Paperback)
This has been one of my favourite textbooks while at uni. Having been taught by Nick Collins myself this guide covers all the basics of Computer Music from Sound Theory, DSP, Algorithmic Composition and some background information on Electronic Music styles.There are some chapters that do require a good undertanding of Maths for example Convolution and Delay-lines are explained with Mathmatical theory behind the topics. All in all an excellent book, well worth the read if you are just getting into Music and Computing.
