With contributions from top academics, artists, and technologists that cover topics at levels from the introductory to the specialized, it will be a valuable sourcebook both for beginners and for advanced users. SuperCollider, first developed by James McCartney, is an accessible blend of Smalltalk, C, and further ideas from a number of programming languages. Free, open-source, cross-platform, and with a diverse and supportive developer community, it is often the first programming language sound artists and computer musicians learn. \u003ci\u003eThe SuperCollider Book\u003c\/i\u003e is the long-awaited guide to the design, syntax, and use of the SuperCollider language. The first chapters offer an introduction to the basics, including a friendly tutorial for absolute beginners, providing the reader with skills that can serve as a foundation for further learning. Later chapters cover more advanced topics and particular topics in computer music, including programming, sonification, spatialization, microsound, GUIs, machine listening, alternative tunings, and non-real-time synthesis; practical applications and philosophical insights from the composer's and artist's perspectives; and \"under the hood,” developer's-eye views of SuperCollider's inner workings. A Web site accompanying the book offers code, links to the application itself and its source code, and a variety of third-party extras, extensions, libraries, and examples.\u003c\/p\u003eScott Wilson is Senior Lecturer in Music at the University of Birmingham, England.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDavid Cottle is Lecturer Associate Professor at the School of Music, University of Utah.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNick Collins is Lecturer in Music Informatics at the University of Sussex.","brand":"The MIT Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46301927276773,"sku":"NP9780262232692","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780262232692.jpg?v=1767741740","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/the-supercollider-book-isbn-9780262232692","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
