Undercurrents is great, isn't it?
'Audio Culture' is a great way to get your hands on texts straight from the source (Schaeffer, Eco, etc.)

I'm reading Brandon LaBelle - Background Noise - pretty good.

This is next up for me, excited to really get into it once I have more time.  Have you started it yet?

I literally just started it the other night. I haven't had as much time to read this week as I usually do, so I've only made it through the foreword. Hoping to make some headway this weekend, though!

Just picked up a couple from the library:

Iannis Xenakis - Formalised Music. The maths looks a bit scary at first glance, but should be a good read.
Paul Hillier - tintinnabuli style of composition.

I bought Curtis Roads' Microsound a few months ago, and it's been invaluable. Now you can download the PDF for free (also includes the CD of examples that comes with the printed book!):

currently reading Katherine Dunn's Geek Love, I have David Simon's The Corner on the back burner, and i recently bought a handful of Stanislaw Lem's books (including The Cyberiad) in his native Krakow.

lots to be getting on with!

yes, player of games...

don't know on the gibson yet... only 4 pages in!


Spook Country did not let me go, it was like reading everytime until no page was left. Great book! The latest Gibson is waiting here, Zero History. But I'm still busy with Neal Stephensons Barock Cycle, and I'd rather re-read Pattern Recognition and Spook Country before starting the last part of Gibsons trilogy.
