My colleague and SuperCollider creator, James McCartney, tells me that the long wait for the SuperCollider book is almost over. The book will shortly be released on MIT Press, and may be pre-ordered from Amazon if you can’t wait!
For those not yet indoctrinated, SuperCollider is a special purpose programming language environment for real-time audio synthesis and algorithmic composition used by both researchers and artists. For Computer Science geeks, the SuperCollider language contains object oriented concepts from Smalltalk, and a smattering of functional programming concepts, all rolled into a C-like syntax (checkout these examples).
Download SuperCollider from SourceForge, and checkout a tutorial, as you wait for your copy of the book to arrive.
