About the Author

ALESSANDRO CIPRIANI co-authored "Virtual Sound", a textbook on Csound programming, and was a co-creator of the first online course on sound synthesis available in Europe. His electroacoustic and multimedia compositions have been performed at major festivals and electronic music venues (such as Synthèse Bourges, Venice Biennale and the International Computer Music Conference), and released on CDs and DVDs issued by Computer Music Journal, ICMC, CNI, Everglade, as well as others. He is a tenured professor in electronic music at the Conservatory of Frosinone, a founding member of Edison Studio in Rome, and a member of the editorial board of the journal Organised Sound (published by Cambridge University Press). He has given seminars at many European and American universities, including the University of California - Santa Barbara, Sibelius Academy in Helsinki, and Accademia di S. Cecilia in Rome.

MAURIZIO GIRI is a professor of composition as well as a teacher of Max/MSP programming techniques at the conservatories of Rome and Frosinone. He is an instrumental, electroacoustic and multimedia composer of music, specializing in digital sound and video processing and computer-assisted composition. He has written computer applications for algorithmic composition and live performance, and has published numerous tutorials on MaxMSP. He was artist in residence at the Cité Internationale des Artes in Paris, and at GRAME in Lyon. He is also an associate member of the Nicod Institute at the Ècole Normale Supérieur in Paris, where he is currently collaborating with other faculty members on a textbook on the philosophy of sound, entitled "Knowledge of Sound".
