RE: attn newcomers (and Kim)
Title: Re: attn newcomers (and Kim)
on
books to get started with...
i got
started to the whole shebang on a couple of electronic music principles books
froom the mid seventies, which whilst not entirely computer oriented, have given
me a strong historical and technical perspective to start from, and they did
have an introductory chapter to computer music (12 bit adc on the $400000 Bell
telephone Labs Groove system - wow). best thing is, they were about $10
total from a secondhand store. best value ever!

so, if you are new to this whole thing i would really
suggest that you pick up a copy of the curtis roads book "the computer
music tutuorial", which you can get anywhere (amazon or b&n) for under
$50 i think.
A bit more than that, I'm afraid: $62.95 on Amazon.
