Re: [microsound] How to... compose electroacoustic music



Does anyone know of good resources on this topic, on the web? I'd be
curious to see what's out there. I've done some digging around on my
own, but haven't found too much.

On Sonic Art is /very/ anchored to Wishart's ideas about sound and
music (which is, I suppose, good or bad depending...), but the book
itself is probably the most in-depth commentary on electroacoustic
composition I've ever seen. I suspect you could learn a lot by going
back to Xenakis' Formalized Music, but it's a tough read if you're
not a math person.
