Actually I much prefer "Computer Music" by Dogde/Jerse over the CMT,
because the CMT too often directs you to somewhere else for deeper
explanations whereas the Dogde/Jerse is self-contained. For microsound
purposes the aptly titled "Microsound" obviously is nice, too.

And then "Elements of Computer Music" by Moore is old, but golden and
still *the* classic textbook on computer music IMO. 

Additionally I cannot recommend "Alan Turing - The Enigma" by Andrew
Hodges enough, even though at first sight it appears to not be about
music at all.

Ciao
