The Music of CSIRAC charts a new history of computer music starting in Australia in the early 1950's. It brings to life the great spirit of invention and imagination shown by the engineers and programmers who made it possible for a... more

This paper discusses pre-composition within the context of algorithmic composition.
Discusses the basics and theory of new musical instruments based on sensors and digital technology.
How spatialised sound and spatialisation may be integrated with the composition process.
How the accuracy of sonic presentation (space, localisation etc) can enhance VR presentation to increase the sense of "presence".
How composers approach the mapping of data sets in algorithmic composition.
Discusses how composers and designers use data mapping in their practice, discussing similarities and differences.
Discusses how sound works in VR systems to enhance the perceived "presence" and reality, or "suspension of disbelief".

CSIRAC was probably the first computer in the world to play music, although that was never devel- oped. The music was never recorded, but it has been reconstructed to a very high degree of authenticity. The book documenting this, The... more
