What the reviewers say:
"A newly
released interactive double DVD-ROM Acoustic
Communication & Compositional Techniques by Barry
Truax is a compelling teaching tool for computer music
theory and composition that uses text, images, and
sound examples to explore micro-level sound. The
juxtaposition of mixed media imparts a glimmer into
the theoretical, compositional, and stunning
influences that inspire Truax’s formidable
work." M. Simoni & K. Fosdick, Computer Music Journal,
34(2), 2010, pp. 96-98.
