Granular Synthesis

Books and Articles

Currently I have included two articles to this page that are hard to come by. They were published more than 50 years ago, and are therefore beyond copyright (at least in most parts of the world - sorry USA), so I thought it would be really useful to include the entire articles here. Other books and articles listed will just be links to either online publications or book descriptions.
