Programming for Musicians and Digital Artists

While many excellent tools exist for digital image creation and editing, similar tools for manipulating sound with precise timing and control are few and far between.

ChucK, an audio-centric programming language, opens new vistas for sound artistry. The ChucK language provides precise high-level control over time, audio computation, and user interface elements like track pads and joysticks. Because ChucK uses the vocabulary of sound, it's easy to learn even for artists with little or no exposure to computer programming. Programming for Musicians and Digital Artists offers a complete introduction to programming in the open source music language ChucK.
