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\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eScott Wilson is Senior Lecturer in Music at the University of Birmingham, England. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDavid Cottle is Lecturer Associate Professor at the School of Music, University of Utah. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNick Collins is Lecturer in Music Informatics at the University of Sussex.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"MIT Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50911222432018,"sku":"9780262232692","price":109.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_b9d1b6f5-d703-4202-a332-d2d18d91e3f3.jpg?v=1738734060","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/the-supercollider-book-9780262232692","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
