Abstract
This paper re-appraises the role of analogue computers within
electronic and computer music and provides some pointers to future areas of research. It begins by introducing the idea of analogue computing
and placing in the context of sound and music applications. This is followed by a brief examination of the classic constituents of an analogue
computer, contrasting these with the typical modular voltage-controlled
synthesiser. Two examples are presented, leading to a discussion on some
parallels between these two technologies. This is followed by an examination of the current state-of-the-art in analogue computation and its
prospects for applications in computer and electronic music.
