Knowing the past to understand the present and plan the future.
This is the goal of Marco Giommoni who, with this highly original book, fills a serious gap in theoretical studies of contemporary compo- sition assisted by computer science – now increasingly present in the life of all musicians – and offers a systematic approach to current compositional and analytical practices.

The book is divided into two parts. In the first, The art of programming music, the author discusses the developments of computer technology relating to the creation and analysis of written music; in the second, The musical object: motivations and evaluations, he begins a reflection on the theory of music and its language, where the sound object is understood as an aesthetic fact and a vector of meaning. Giommoni does not, therefore, only define the foundations of computerized composition, he also delves into its motivations, clarifies its meanings, specifies its limits, and places it in the historical context of musical experience and in the broader framework of the culture and creativity of the present time.

“This volume is truly a gift for composers, performers, the public, for everyone. It is a precious book because it is unique. It was missing from the Italian musical panorama, and this was a serious lack because it deals with very important themes for composition”. (Renzo Cresti)
