Computer Music in Context

by Craig Harris (Editor)

Computer-based resources permeate the music worlds of composition, theory, musicology, performance and education. These resources are transforming the nature of contemporary music makeing, whether one considers concert, radio, television, film, multimedia or interactive immersive contexts. The variety of perspectives offered by the contributors to this issue of Contemporary Music Review reflect a diversity and individuality of approaches in the musical application of new technological resources. As a compilation, they provide an opportunity to examine the "state of music," and to critically examine our goals for future development. In establishing both a historical perspective and a vision into the future, we can clarify and respond to the challenges which face us in the present.
