Electronic and Experimental Music: Technology, Music and Culture



Electronic and Experimental Music: Technology, Music and Culture(4th edition) by Them Holmes is an in depth textbook covering the history of electronic music in Europe, America and Asia from 1874 to 2011, the year before publication. It is a thorough grounding in the history of music synthesis. 

It has extensive chapters on analog and digital synthesis as well as on the types of music in which synthesis is used. It looks like a great reference book for any one interested in electronic music production.
