“If you are looking for a useful reference book on computer music for instrument development, Lazzarini’s book will surely serve the purpose. … I enjoyed reading this book, which has an abundance of programs in Python, Csound, and Faust. The target readership includes postgraduates, advanced undergraduates, and researchers in signal processing, including music signals.” (Soubhik Chakraborty, Computing Reviews, March, 2018)​
