Matthew M. Conroy reviewed Composing Electronic Music by Curtis Roads
Review of 'Composing Electronic Music' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Okay. A lot of it felt repetitive, and like a list of methods rather than interesting commentary on those methods. (And too many comparisons to architecture for me.) I was expecting more about the aesthetic philosophy of music (even if only the author's particular philosophy) than this provided: e.g., not what granular synthesis is, but why one would use it, what it provides aesthetically. There wasn't much of that.
