"Of late, Greenwood Press has been publishing a number of
interesting books....including the present and very compelling
volume on electroacoustic music....The book is aimed at an audience
of both professionals and students, with some essays accessible by
undergraduates and others requiring a highly technical
background....All of the essays in this volume are quite
valuable....[A]nalysts, composers and instructors have a powerful
new set of essays to work with as the slow work continues towards
developing a critical literature about electroacoustic
music."-Perspectives of New Music
"The essays in this book reflect a broad range of analytical
approaches. This methodological heterogenity, and the solidness of
each and every one of the essays, may very well come to distinguish
this book as a milestone in scholarly research on contemporary
music...[I]t is refreshing to come across a book that so nicely
balances the language and technical expectations of music analysis
with the composition-theoretical imperatives of the music
considered. I would hope that this volume energizes further efforts
along these lines."-Computer Music Journal
