Zusammenfassung:
Electronic music evokes new sensations, feelings, and thoughts in both composers and listeners. This book outlines a new theory based on the powerful toolkit of electronic music techniques. The theory consists of a framework of concepts and a vocabulary of terms describing musical materials, their transformation, and their organisation. Central to this discourse is the notion of narrative structure in composition - how sounds are born, interact, transform, and die. The book offers facts, history, commentary, opinions, and pointers to interesting ideas and new possibilities to consider and explore.
