INTRODUCTION

Computers, and in general digital technologies, have revolutionized 
the music and audio field, not only technologically but also 
aesthetically. These machines, not only have facilitated many tasks, 
but they have also opened up new fields and creative possibilities 
unthinkable until now. As a result of these changes, in the last few 
years new academic curricula have been defined that are becoming 
common in several european countries and in the USA.
