Audible Design source

[Arelar33@xxxxxxx]

For those who have expressed an interest in acquiring Trevor Wishart's 
"Audible Design", this is the place where you will get it online:

http://www.cdemusic.org/

Just type Treveor wishart into the search engine, and you will find it.
Although I said it would be of help for those interested in CSound or the 
Cecilia software, please be aware that this is not a manual or introduction 
to any particular software, and does not give any instructions for the use of 
such. It is however, a very good explanation of the theories and processes 
that people using software of that ilk would find very useful. (I did at any 
rate) Wishart looms large behind the Composers Desktop Project, for which he 
has designed much software.
Im not sure if CDEMusic offers it, but if you get the chance (or the 
opportunity), find yourselves a copy of Trevor Wishart and Friends...tis 
divine!!. Also "Tongues of Fire" is a stunning CD.
Here is the blurb as given at the CDEMusic site:

Trevor Wishart's 'Audible Design' is subtitled "a plain and easy introduction 
to practical sound composition." The first part of the book is indeed a plain 
and easy introduction to sound. Then the book continues as, in the 
publisher's words, "a completely fresh look at the craft of musical 
composition, for an age when all imaginable sounds have become accessible to 
us and the computer allows us to transfer these in any way we desire. 
Compositional techniques are discussed in detail, with applications to 
radically different kinds of sound material and each is illustrated by 
appropriate sound examples. The text concludes with an extensive appendix in 
which all processes described . . . are laid bare in diagrammatic  form, 
avoiding mathematical or technical language." 139 pages, with illustrations 
and musical examples. Included with the book is a compact
 disc of sound examples with a separately-bound index.

              Wishart. => MB105-6 $75 
Hope that helps.
