[comp.music] MUSICV

hicksm@spock (Michael Hicks) (12/04/89)

I have only heard references to MUSICV, (a mainframe computer music program)
and I would be interested in learning about any particulars about the system.

Can anyone give me an overview on this program?

I would recommend the book The Technology of Computer Music by Max V. Mathews, 
The M.I.T. Press, 1969. Music V and other Music programs are also 
discussed (in less detail) in Dodge & Jerse; Computer Music, Schirmer Books,
1985, ISBN 0-02-873100-X.

Yes its a decent book. I photocopied the library's copy and have been looking
for a real copy for about 7 years. It's out of print and hard to find.
Anyone know where a copy can be found?
