Visions of sound: The Centro di Sonologia Computazionale, from Computer Music to Sound and Music Computing

Centro di Sonologia Computazionale (CSC) scientific research was the premise for subsequent activities of musical informatics, and is still one of the main activities of the Centre. Today CSC activities rely on a composite group of people, which include the Center board of directors and personnel, guest researchers and musicians, and particularly on master students attending the course "Sound and Music Computing" at Dept. of Information Engineering (DEI), which is historically tightly linked to the CSC. The dissemination of scientific results as well as the relationship between art and science is hard and surely not trivial. With this aim, this paper describes an exhibition that illustrated the history of CSC, from the scientific, technological and artistic points of view. This exhibition is one of the first examples of "a museum" of Computer Music and SMC researches
