My checking account will be happy about that.

@oid , @everybody , Last advice, when you read a book, try to read 2 or 3, or 4 books speaking of the same subject. By another author, one book older, one more recent, one in another language or at least translated, one from another country.

@Il-pleut thats a nice advice Thanks for the books and their pictures...

Maybe the concepts of design are keys to create a music based on synthetic sounds.

Thinking with lines, shapes, numbers and colors helps navigate the never ending possibilities of a software like Pure data.

Harmony, melody and rythme can be insufficient when anything can be organised with such wide liberty.

Modes can appear everywhere, relations between harmonics and shapes can come out of places that used to be desertic.

Materials and dimensions, utility and necessity, drag creation in other directions.

A couple which I have just come across and am looking forward too.

Berio's Sequenzas Essays on Performance, Composition and Analysis

Oh great collection of books.

 This one is accompanied by a "Student's guide" from the same duo.  Exist multiple editions.
