I subscribed to this for years, and should subscribe again. Major bookstores used to carry it in the magazine racks. Basically, it's a journal for academic computer music research, but you don't always need a PhD in digital signal processing to read it.
ReplyDeleteIf you like the history of electronic music, weird synthesis or composition algorithms, or programming in Max, this journal is for you.
students: most schools give you JSTOR access, giving you access to everything in this journal (each article in PDF format). Leonardo is an interesting one, as well.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen the Leonardo journal in a while, so I looked it up. 5t's another MIT Press journal, and yes, you can get it on JSTOR. it's not just about music, but about art, science, and technology in general.
ReplyDeleteFrom what I remember, CMJ is more techie, but Leonardo is excellent.
The Web site for Leonardo is:
