This chapter discusses the origin and evolution of computer music. By 1990, the use of inexpensive, computer-based digital synthesizing techniques in producing music has become popular. The personal computer has many applications in creating electronic music. Software can greatly accelerate the process of composing by providing editing, notation and printing capabilities. Digital recording, mixing and sampling are also facilitated by the use of computers. The development of computer technology historically paralleled the development of the modern electronic music studio and synthesizer. The computer aids the composer in producing a printed score to be played using traditional musical instruments. Tones are produced by the computer using solid-state oscillators on integrated circuits. The quality and robustness of digital synthesis depend on the power of the computer being used. Sound cards and chips designed specifically for digital signal processing (DSP) are required for more advanced and responsive real-time sound generation. Joel Chadabe, president of Intelligent Music, has published several interactive controller programs for electronic music. Composing with software required a mental adjustment for many composers.
