Interactive Composition empowers readers with all of the practical skills and insights they need to compose and perform electronic popular music in a variety of popular styles. The book begins by introducing all of the tools involved in creating interactive compositions through the software Ableton Live and Max for Live. The following chapters then put the tools to use by both describing particular musical styles and also teaching readers how to compose and perform within these styles using the software. As readers progresses through the book; they will learn to use the software to facilitate their own unique compositional objectives.This book takes readers through all of the steps in designing interactive music compositions. It is geared toward both beginners as well as intermediate and advanced readers; and so readers with even little experience working with digital audio software will quickly learn how to design powerful systems that facilitate their unique compositional ideas.A particular feature of this book is that it discusses the historical context of several electronic music styles used by DJs; electronic musicians; and other artists; and then describes; using software; the technical process used in the composition and performance of these styles. Each chapter leads readers to create an original composition in a given style and also discusses the techniques that can be used to perform the piece in an idiomatic fashion.

Painfully turgid writingBy PSHPictures are excellent; and the captions are very informative.As for the actual book; at first I thought it might have been a poor translation. Instead; it is written by somebody who has mistaken complex sentence construction for "deep thoughts". Im an academic; and I have to read a lot of this sort of stuff for work; and I dont enjoy having to suffer through this for my recreational reading. If it wasnt for the content and the pictures; I would have given it one star; thats how painful the writing is.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. If youre planning on building a Japanese home in America...By MaNgA MaNThis is the book for you. There is also another one; "Building the Japanese House Today" by Len Brackett And Peggy Landers Rao which is an excellent companion book. These books delve into the actual building of a home the "Japanese" way; from choosing woods to joints; to mats to tea rooms to sample floor plans to.... infinity and beyond! Everything you need to know about Japanese home architecture is covered or so it seems... (I say that because Im not finished with either but am using them side by side). Excellent material. What else can I say.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
