…Cottle and Collins - "The Supercollider Book". In the style of The Csound Book, but with SC. Loy - "Musicmathics". A rare and much under-rated two volume set on the equations behind audio DSP Bilbao - "Numerical Sound Synthesis". A hard but rewarding journey to understanding audio physics as linear diff systems and implementing them efficiently in C, Goes well with Perry Cook's stuff. Benson - "Music a mathematical offering"…
on “The Theory and Technique of Electronic Music (2006)” ↗…the audio thread was to batch computations at the size of the audio thread. I’m fascinated by the idea of doing the same kind of thing for continua in the manner of Stefan Bilbao: https://www.amazon.com/Numerical-Sound-Synthesis-Difference-... Although I wonder if mathematically it’s the same thing …
