Book Description

This text is a compilation of courses materials in Music Technology, Digital Synthesis, and Computer Assisted Composition. It blends electro-acoustic composition exercises with SuperCollider and Logic Pro topics. The goal is getting actual sounds as quickly as possible and enough SuperCollider and Logic Pro languages to prevent glassy eyes when reading the help files that come with SuperCollider and Logic Pro.

College level music tech. The first half covers the nature of sound, formats, mic types and placement, recording techniques, DAWs (Logic Pro), DSP (reverbs, delays, compression, EQ), mix styles, and auxiliary sends for effects and monitors. The second half continues with electro-acoustic composition using SuperCollider and Logic Pro; concrete styles, voltage control, wave generators, control sources, GUIs, filtering synthesis, frequency and phase modulation synthesis, physical models and additive synthesis.

Finally, computer music methods are discussed, including random number theory, generative composition, computer assisted algorithmic composition, 12-tone and set theory, probability, microtonality, and working with data files.

The SuperCollider examples have been tested and conform with SuperCollider 3.6.5, including the new IDE. (Code only file available on request.) While the recording chapters target Logic Pro users on OS X, all of the techniques can easily be adapted to other platforms and DAWs.

• Scoring Sound: Creative Music Coding with SuperCollider

  This book is a creative audio coding tutorial for the SuperCollider audio synthesis programming language. It covers the basics of sound synthesis and introduces the inbuilt tools for algorithmic composition.

• Algorithmic Composition: Introduction to Music Composition

  This book provides an overview of procedural approaches to music generation. It introduces programming concepts through many examples written using the Common LISP and Common Music for music composition and sound synthesis.

• The Haskell School of Music - From Signals to Symphonies

  This book explores the fundamentals of computer music and functional programming through the Haskell, inclues algorithmic music composition, such as stochastic generation, musical grammars, self-similarity, and real-time interactive systems, etc.

• Sonifying Processing: The Beads Tutorial (Evan X. Merz)

  This book introduces audio programming to Processing programmers through the Beads library. It covers topics such as synthesis, sampling and general sound-mangling in such a way that is appropriate for beginners, or more experienced programmers.

• Music and Computers: A Theoretical and Historical Approach

  This book provides a resource and guide for those just beginning to look at the field of computer music, as well as for more advanced computer composers who might benefit from a fresh insight.
