This is the most important book written in the last decade in the field of electronic music. Together with the new Csound technology, it will revolutionize electronic music. -- Max Mathews, Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics, Stanford University Written for the technically astute, The Csound Book and its accompanying CD-ROM provide a vast resource for seasoned Csound users to expand their use of the language. With its numerous examples and tutorials, this tome also makes Csound more accesible to a new generation of more musically-oriented individuals. As such, it marks a potential turning point in the field of computer musci. This is an important text. -- Marcia Bauman, Composer, co-creator of the International digital Electroacoustic Music Archive at Stanford University This book provides both a theoretical introduction and practical hints to use Csound and to tailor it to the reader's own needs. It is an excellent tutorial and much more, since a host of distinguished contributors make their own developments available. I look forward myself to developing my own sonic and musical tools with the Csound Book. -- Jean-Claude Risset, composer, Directeur de recherche, Laboratoire de Mecanique et d'Acoustique of CNRS
