Description

The Technology of Computer Music, published in 1969, is the manual for Music V, the program in which the computer calculates the sound wave itself from a score. Max Mathews of Bell Telephone Laboratories wrote the first version, Music I, in 1957, and here he explains how the program works, with instruments built from “unit generators.” Joan E. Miller and F. R. Moore, his colleagues at Bell Labs, and the composer Jean-Claude Risset wrote the Music V manual chapter with him, and he wrote the appendix on psychoacoustics with another colleague, John R. Pierce.
