A taxonomy of computer music
Stephen Pope · Contemporary Music Review · 1996
There are several sources for a possible taxonomy of computer music (Pope 1993). These include the tables of contents of the Proceedings of the International Computer Music Conferences and the excellent bibliography Computer Applications in Music, by Deta S. Davis. Three of the central contributors to the field — Roger Dannenberg, D. Gareth Loy, and Bruce Pennycook — have also at various times prepared subject keyword lists or taxonomies. These will all be presented and discussed below, and a new multi-layered taxonomy of keywords will be proposed.
