Since then it has become open source and has (as its creator James McCartney says in the introduction) taken on a life of its own. Multitudes of creative minds in the field of computer music have added to the code and have made it such a rich and wonderful programming environment to work in. I am primarily a composer of acoustic chamber works; but what I have always liked about Supercollider is it efficiency. It has always seemed less cumbersome to me than CSound; and right out of the gate you are creating complex and interesting sounds with a minimal amount of code. In the spirit of Supercollider itself; the book is not written by one person but is authored by the top Supercollider gurus and practitioners from around the world. It starts with a straightforward tutorial by David Cottle and progresses quickly to more complex and specific subjects like granular synthesis and machine listening. But you will find; even from the preliminary code; that you are creating amazing; timbrally rich sounds. This book is a great achievement!!! We have waited a long time for this! Anyone who is interested in Supercollider and computer music needs this book!!6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Excellent resource; not quite perfect.By David L. PhillipsThis book is a treasure trove for anyone interested in SC. The writing style throughout is accessible and enthusiastic; and the quality of information is truly impressive. Of course; any book like this one suffers from the rapid pace of software development; so some information is already outdated. However; as far as I can tell all the examples are useful as-is (barring system-specific dependencies). The book is not organized as a progressive series of tutorials; so the newcomer may seem a bit bewildered by the array of SCs possibilities and how best to go about learning them. I suggest the complete beginner read Cottle chapter to get started; then just jump into the other chapters as they become of interest.Ive used SC with Linux on off over the past years. The SC Book has been a great inspiration for me to get back into this wonderful language - Im primarily a Csound-based composer; but Im always on the look-out for interesting developments in similar languages and systems. Btw; the only reason I didnt give it five stars is the absence of an accompanying disc; but in truth it isnt necessary; the book will guide you to all necessary resources. So okay; Im really giving it four and a half stars. :)1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Sc bibleBy tripnikkThis is the bible. It goes over supercollider inside and out. The beginning is quite rocky as they seem to start giving you examples which arent well explained. Be prepared for some hair pulling. Regardless; this book along with some supplemental tutorials in the internet will get you going.
