Andrew Hugill, "The Digital Musician: Creating Music with Digital Technology



'The Digital Musician' examines cultural awareness, artistic identity and musical skill through the prism of recent technological innovations. New technologies, and especially the new digital technologies, mean that anyone can create music without any musical training. How do we know what is good? This involves developing a personal aesthetic, an awareness of the context for one's work, specific musical and technical abilities and an individual identity.





The Complete Idiot's Guide to Music Theory, 2nd Edition


This updated and expanded edition of The Complete Idiot’s Guide® to Music Theory breaks down a difficult subject in a simple way—even for those who think they have no rhythm or consider themselves tone deaf. With clear, concise language, it explains everything from bass-clef basics to confusing codas. This new edition includes:

-A comprehensive ear-training section
-Musical examples of intervals, scales, chords, and rhythms
-Aural exercises so readers can test their ear training and transcription skills




Electronic and experimental Music 3rd edition


Electronic and Experimental Music details the history of electronic music throughout the world, and the people who created it. From the theory of sound production to key composers and instrument designers, this is a complete introduction to the genre from its early roots to the present technological explosion.

Key features to this revision include added pedagogy designed to make the book increasingly classroom-friendly, listening guides to illustrate important works of electronic music, and significant new coverage on the work of African American and women artists in the field of electronic music--two long neglected aspects of this genre.
