Matthew Nicholl is a professor of music at Western Carolina University. His book Introduction to MIDI/Synthesis will be published by C. P P Belwyn Company this spring. A new book on early synthesizers, Magic Music from the Telharmonium , by Reynold Weidenaar, will be available from Scarecrow Press in mid-1993.
Nowadays most of the music we hear is created electronically. It’s a modern development, but even before the days of radio, pioneers were at work in the field.
