I'd like to get into composition and synthesis, but I am
completely new to this stuff. linux-sound.org has lots of
pointers, but since I don't have much background it's hard to
tell what is worth looking into. A page with example sounds or
music from the various packages would be helpful I think.
All of these programs benefit immensly from a fair bit of a
theoretical background, which you can only get from books, IMO. I
would very much recommend to get hold of Dodge/Jerse: "Computer
Music". It's the best introduction into the topic of Computer-based
synthesis.
Another slightly older, but very good book is Moore: "Elements of
Computer Music". I like it even more than the Dodge/Jerse, but some
important topics are missing because of its age, e.g. granular
synthesis. I would avoid Roads: "Computer Music Tutorial" for now, it
is more an encyclopedia than an introductory book.
I'm curious to know what you, or any others here, might have to say
about Eduardo Miranda's books
