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, 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.
