ABSTRACT
The majority of ‘computer music’ today is undertaken using commercial software that does not require knowledge of mathematics, algorithms, etc. However, such systems have a limited scope: sequencers, accompaniment systems, recording and playback gear. This book intends to broaden the horizons for those musicians who want to go further: hence the need to become familiar with fundamental computer music concepts and be prepared to use systems that either embody some interesting compositional model, allow for programming, or both.
