New Computational Paradigms for Computer Music

The colloquium on New Computational Paradigms for Computer Music, held at IRCAM on June 11th, 2007, brought together major figures in the fields of both computer science and music in order to encourage exchanges on different levels and outline new perspectives for the future. This book is a record of that important event and includes new and re-formulated material.
