In an attempt to avoid those “what were those books that I wanted to get?” moments, here are two books I would like to purchase.
Collins, Nicolas. Handmade Electronic Music: The Art of Hardware Hacking, 2nd Edition. New York: Routledge, 2009. 978-0-415-99873-4
Holmes, Thom. Electronic and Experimental Music: Technology, Music and Culture, 3rd Edition. New York: Routledge, 2008. 978-0-415-95782-3
UPDATE: (October 18, 2009) Good news everybody, you can breathe again. I bought them both.
