Curtis Roads (born May 9, 1951) is an American composer, author and computer programmer. He composes electronic and electroacoustic music, specializing in granular and pulsar synthesis.
He co-founded the International Computer Music Association in 1980 and edited the Computer Music Journal from 1978–2000.[2] He has created software including PulsarGenerator and the Creatovox, both with Alberto de Campo.
Since 2004, he has been researching a new method of sound analysis called atomic decompositions, sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF).[2]
The first movement of his composition Clang-Tint, "Purity", uses intervals from the Bohlen–Pierce scale.[3]
