THE TIME DOMAIN John Cage showed that the minimum requirement for musical composition is to define duration or to delineate a period of time. The responses of composers, performers and engineers to aspects of time are many and various. The application of computer-based systems has increased their scope by permitting precise explorations and investigations of time-based procedures. It could be said that the serial nature of computer technology has emphasised the linear nature of time, and simultaneously allowed us to destroy our traditional time-based perceptions of sound events. Recording and manipulating sound material permits electroacoustic composers to take sound material 'out of time', to implement time distortions and to re-present sound events; to be creative with our traditional perceptions of time. This theme will allow authors to discuss any aspect of time as it relates to their work. This could include papers relating to the processing of pre-recorded sound in the time domain, engineering approaches to the time domain, the perception of time, time domain representations and scores, sound recording/editing techniques or aspects of sound synthesis related to time. Authors might also consider wider ranging topics such as the derivation of musical form/structure, how composers allocate their time while composing (with or without technology), or any other topics which arise from considering sound and silence in the time domain.

GENERAL AIMS OF ORGANISED SOUND. This journal is intended for student, amateur and professional musicians, musicologists, engineers and members of the public interested in the application of computers to music. It features papers relating to any musical activity using computers, and any engineering activity that has a demonstrable musical aim. Other audio arts, such as multi-media works or sound sculptures are included. It also provides a focus for engineers who are involved in the development of musical tools. Approximately 60% of the article content for each issue will be related to a named theme. The editors have formulated the following broad aims: To provide a platform for musical and related technological discussion; To further the dialogue between engineers and musicians; To provide tutorial texts for students of computer music; To disseminate musical material through the production of a compact disk related to articles contained in the journal (one per annum); To encourage musical uses of multi-media; To encourage (young) specialists in the field to publish and share the results of their work.
