Electronic and Experimental Music: Technology, Music, and Culture, Sixth Edition, presents an extensive history of electronic music-from its historical beginnings in the late nineteenth century to its everchanging present-recounting the musical ideas that arose in parallel with technological progress. In four parts, the author details the fundamentals of electronic music, its history, the major synthesizer innovators, and contemporary practices.

This examination of the music's experimental roots covers the key composers, genres, and techniques used in analog and digital synthesis, including both art and popular music, Western and non-Western.
