What the reviewers say:

"A newly released interactive double DVD-ROM Acoustic Communication & Compositional Techniques by Barry Truax is a compelling teaching tool for computer music theory and composition that uses text, images, and sound examples to explore micro-level sound. The juxtaposition of mixed media imparts a glimmer into the theoretical, compositional, and stunning influences that inspire Truax’s formidable work."  M. Simoni & K. Fosdick, Computer Music Journal, 34(2), 2010, pp. 96-98.
