How a team of musicians, engineers, computer scientists, and psychologists developed computer music as an academic field and ushered in the era of digital music. In the 1960s, a team of Stanford musicians, engineers, computer scientists, and psychologists used computing in an entirely novel way: to produce and manipulate sound and create the sonic basis of new musical compositions. This group of interdisciplinary researchers at the nascent Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA, pronounced “karma”) helped to develop computer music as an academic field, invent the technologies that underlie it, and usher in the age of digital music. In The Sound of Innovation, Andrew Nelson chronicles the history of CCRMA, tracing its origins in Stanford's Artificial Intelligence Laboratory through its present-day influence on Silicon Valley and digital music groups worldwide. Nelson emphasizes CCRMA's interdisciplinarity, which stimulates creativity at the intersections of fields; its commitment to open sharing and users; and its pioneering commercial engagement. He shows that Stanford's outsized influence on the emergence of digital music came from the intertwining of these three modes, which brought together diverse supporters with different aims around a field of shared interest. Nelson thus challenges long-standing assumptions about the divisions between art and science, between the humanities and technology, and between academic research and commercial applications, showing how the story of a small group of musicians reveals substantial insights about innovation. Nelson draws on extensive archival research and dozens of interviews with digital music pioneers; the book's website provides access to original historic documents and other material.

Nelson Introducing Technology, third edition has been fully revised and now comes in a larger, full colour format that allows students to clearly view photographs and illustrations. To further assist students, the new edition includes an enlarged section on tools, updated materials, manufacturing and electronics, along with the latest information on risk and safety. Popular topics such as Safety, Design, Materials, Manufacturing and Electronics are still part of the content listing. This title will provide students with a wealth of textual and visual information, which assists students to solve technological design problems, and understand how technology continues to shape our world. Nelson Introducing Technology is designed to be used independently or with a new edition of the text Technology Activity Manual, also by Basil Slynko.
