Pure Data : Electronic Music and Sound Design - Tome 1, Theory and Practice (Broché)

Francesco Bianchi is mainly involved with music composition and computer music. He composed various pieces of both vocal and instrumental electronic music, which have been performed in many music festivals and institutions of several countries (such as the Huddersfield University, the Leeds University, and the Music Conservatories of Rome, Turin, and Perugia). He won the third price at the contest "Valentino Bucchi" in 2008, thanks to his piece "Cercle".
On the occasion of Expo 2015 he collaborated on a project on designing the sound for the data captured by a food testing device, developed at the University of Parma. He created several software libraries to extend the features of Pure Data and Max. Also, for these two software applications he is currently working on biosLib, which is a collection of objects that implement artificial life algorithms.
Alessandro Cipriani co-authored "Virtual Sound", a textbook on Csound programming. His compositions have been performed at major festivals and electronic music venues, and released on CDs and DVDs issued by Computer Music Journal, International Computer Music Conference as well as others. He has written music for the Peking Opera Theater, as well as for films and documentaries in which ambient sound, dialog, and music all fuse together, interchangeably.
He is a tenured professor in electronic music at the Conservatory of Frosinone, a founding member of the Edison Studio in Rome, and a member of the editorial board of the journal Organised Sound (published by Cambridge Music 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 programming techniques at the conservatories of Latina and Frosinone. He is an instrumental and electroacoustic composer of music, specializing in digital sound processing, improvisation and computer-assisted composition. He has written computer applications for algorithmic composition and live performance, and has published numerous tutorials on Max.
He founded Amazing Noises, a software house that helps music applications and plug-ins for mobile devices and computers.
