MUSS1620 STM Reading List

The following is an indicative reading list for the Music Technology unit. This list is intended as a guide only, and should not prevent you from using your common sense and doing your own research on the topics covered in lectures and seminars. Also note that there are a large number of students on this module, and therefore certain books may be unavailable when you look for them. If this happens it is worth searching the library catalogue for older editions of the same publications; if you can't find the 4th edition, there may well be a copy of the 3rd that would be very similar for example. Many of the texts are also available to purchase from the University book shop.
