Buon giorno nel'bella Napoli! And now back to the mother tongue...lots of stuff
of your topic. I would think a primary resource would be the journal which I
believe is called the Computer Music Journal; issues I've seen had extensive
articles and documentation back to the beginning of Computer Time..
I don't know if ther's stuff for IBM machines but Mac, Amiga and Atari have
quite a history. MAX is a new interactive language for the (what else? Mac that
Carter Scholz in KEYBOARD raves about.  On the Mac and Amiga thewre is HMSL,
aprogramming language for experiemental music; complex but~r fascinating. They
have a bulletin board for it 415-928-8246 and you may be able to catch their
ear through USENET which youand I are on. Send a call out for Phil Burk or
David Rosenboom. DR is one of the leading exponents of interactive music, a
brillaint musician with unlimited imagination. On the humble Atari there is
forthMoxie which is a faily un-comples language for writng interactive
programs. Try contacting Daniel Scheidt at Simon Fraser University Burnaby BC
Canada thru USENET.
Hope this helps. BTW:are you a KIwi in bell"Italia? I was one too, now living
on the other side of the Pacific.
Best wishes
Paul
