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.
