RE: [microsound] our first .microsound poll

[Eloy Anzola <eloy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Max Matthews is da man.

His research at Bell labs basically created computer music. 

more at (or try Google):
http://www.csounds.com/mathews/
"At Bell Labs in 1957, Mathews demonstrated synthesis of music on a digital
computer with his Music I program.... he has been called the "father of
computer music,"...

Most computer music programs derive in some way from Music I.

btw, when we talk MAX/MSP, the MAX part refers to him.

cheers,


Eloy
