Allen StrangeElectronic Music: Systems, Techniques, and Controls - Third Edition (Soft Cover)

Allen Strange Electronic Music

Allen Strange's legendary text entitled Electronic Music: Systems, Techniques, and Controls is now available in a softcover edition, more than 50 years after its original publication in 1972. Following its successful Kickstarter campaigns, Strange's text is widely available for the first time in an era of resurged interest in analog and modular synthesis. Long cited as a rare but comprehensive resource of knowledge, it is essential reading for anyone in the field.

The bulk of the third edition of Electronic Music is faithful to the second edition's text and illustrations. You'll coverage of everything from core synthesis concepts like control voltage to compositional considerations. There's no shortage of diagrams and notation penned by Strange himself, while this new edition also includes detailed images of key devices mentioned throughout. There's also a brand new foreword written by Stephen C. Ruppenthal, a long-time friend and collaborator to Strange.

Despite being written more than half a century ago, Electronic Music remains incredibly relevant and packed with wisdom that synthesists of all experience levels will appreciate. Electronic music isn't going anywhere, and if anything, it's only going to get more Strange from here.
