The Digital Artist’s Handbook
“TheDigital Artist’s Handbook is an up to date, reliable and accessible source of information that introduces you to different tools, resources and ways of working related to digital art.”
Looks like this could become a good open-source resource for sharing knowledge…
Steven W. Smith’s The Scientist and Engineer’s Guide to Digital Signal Processing is available as a free download. Pretty dry stuff but could be useful if you are cooking stuff up in Max/MSP or whatnot.

MIT Media Lab
At the Media Lab, the future is lived, not imagined. In a world where radical technology advances are taken for granted, we design technology for people to create a better future.
The Lab comprises rigorous research and graduate degree programs, where traditional disciplines get checked at the door. Future-obsessed product designers, nanotechnologists, data-visualization experts, industry researchers, and pioneers of computer interfaces work side by side to tirelessly invent–and reinvent–how humans experience, and can be aided by, technology.
CCM @ Mills
For more than 40 years, the Center for Contemporary Music (CCM) has been at the forefront of developments emphasizing experimental methods in contemporary music and its allied arts and sciences. In 1966, the San Francisco Tape Music Center (founded in 1961) moved to Mills College and became the Mills Tape Music Center, and later, the Center for Contemporary Music. Since its inception, this organization has achieved a strong international reputation as a leading center for innovation in music.
CCRMA
The Stanford University Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics is a multi-disciplinary facility where composers and researchers work together using computer-based technology both as an artistic medium and as a research tool.
CNMAT is a music research, composition, teaching, recording and performance facility located in the hills just north of the UC Berkeley campus.
