Rating:
Summary: Required Reading
Review: This collection represents for me some of the best writings on electronic music aesthetics' I have read. As a practicing explorer of using electronics as both sound source and composing tool,I found the essays here full of thought provoking questions as to the uniqueness and problems of the medium and inspiring connections to theories outside of the music discipline such as linguistics and information theory. Highly recommended to anyone seriously interested in electronic music composition.
