In this newly revised book On Sonic Art, Trevor Wishart takes a
wide-ranging look at the new developments in music-making and
musical aesthetics made possible by the advent of the computer and
digital information processing. His emphasis is on musical rather

assumptions underlying the Western musical tradition and the
traditional acoustic theories of Pythagoras and Helmholtz, he goes
