Are there any books on Csound or software music synthesis and algorithms
in general? Reading the Csound docs is a bit "experimental" if you have
stepped to this kind of system from commercial hardware synthesizers :-)

Oh, and I would like to get recommendations about which
languages/systems are good to make music with. I have a NeXTstation and
enough hard disk space (about 700MB) to do some composition.

I thought that Csound is "the best" but then I heard that it isn't so
spectacular.
