i've been recommending Nic Collins "Handmade Electronic Music: The Art
of Hardware Hacking" to anyone just starting in electronics with an
interest in music. it starts from the very beginning, and takes you
up through basic oscillators and amplifiers based on minimal cmos
components (similar to things like Kens SuperPsycho lfo). Very
hands-on and pragmatic, very little theory but lots of musical context
(of the experimental/bug music variety).
i just finished up a workshop for absolute newbies, using this as one
of the textbooks... folks had a lot of success.
