Part history; part explanation of early music; this book also plays devils advocate; criticizing current practices and urging experimentation. Haynes; a veteran of the movement; describes a vision of the future that involves improvisation; rhetorical expression; and composition.

I suggest that people get a newer edition.4 of 5 people found the following review helpful. eeeeehBy el RyoneI got this book thinking it would help me compose digital music. The problem is that it is based mainly off of the software that comes with the book. which isnt very good or up to date. I did recieve some useful information about electronic (made with computer) music and the history of it. but Im officially still a dummy when it comes to composing it myself. therefore I would say the book did not achieve its objective. or maybe it did depending on how you argue. Either way. I ended up ordering Dance Music Manual 2nd edition after reading this book because from what research Ive done. it seems to be the most comprehensive book on actually producing something. I would also suggest buying a book for the specific software that you plan on using because the software that comes with "For Dummies" is shite and you wont use it anyways.
