The OM composer's book

by Various (Scientific Editor), Jean Bresson (Editor), Carlos Agon (Editor)

Directed by Jean Bresson, Carlos Agon, Gérard Assayag - Preface by Roger Dannenberg -- This third volume of the OM Composer's book series presents a new collection of essays written by composers describing musical works carried out with the OpenMusic computer-aided composition environment. OpenMusic is a visual programming language dedicated to music composition, designed and developed at IRCAM. It is the result of years of research and compositional experiments, and is now used by numerous contemporary music composers worldwide. The main objective of this book is to provide an overview of the uses and applications of this environment, as well as of computer music systems in a broader sense. Several approaches are described focusing on varied aspects of musical creation and computer-aided composi- tion, ranging from the production rhythmic or harmonic structures to sound processing and synthesis. The book also reveals composers’ thoughts on more general questions such as pro- gramming and the role of computer processes in musical creation. -- Collection : Musique/Sciences Volume : Volume 3 Format : 18 x 26 cm Pagination : 396 Material : Book Language : English Date of publication : 2016 Code EAN : 9782752102836 Category : Science of music Output format : Printed format

About the author

Various is the correct author for any book with multiple unknown authors, and is acceptable for books with multiple known authors, especially if not all are known or the list is very long (over 50).

If an editor is known, however, Various is not necessary. List the name of the editor as the primary author (with role "editor"). Contributing authors' names follow it.
