The Consortium to Distribute Computer Music (CDCM) was a nonprofit organization of Dartmouth College. The discography, also referred to as "technography," represents a collection of experimental music composers, mostly, but not exclusively, interdisciplinarity music educators in academia.

The period, beginning 1988, represented the vanguard of rapid technological advances and ensuing market of respective technologies – a leap from analog to microprocessing in 1983, which, during its infancy in the early 1970s, through its period of rapid growth and development in the 1980s. Some of these composers helped bridge technical development with applications.

Founding studios
CDCM is an acronym for Consortium to Distribute Computer Music, which was founded in 1986 – four years after the introduction of the CD – as the outgrowth of a consortium of experimental music studios of colleges and universities:

  Bregman Electronic Music Studio at Dartmouth College, established in 1967 by Jon Appleton with a gift from Dartmouth alumnus Jerry Bregman ( Gerald Myron Bregman; 1931–2020), class of 1954. The studio, in 1974, collaborated with the Thayer School of Engineering to support a joint project in digital synthesis between Professor Appleton and Thayer research associate Sydney Allan Alonso (born 1936) – and later, then an undergraduate, Cameron Warner Jones (born 1952; Dartmouth '75; Thayer '77). An outgrowth of the collaboration resulted in the invention of the Synclavier, the first commercially available portable digital synthesizer. In 1980 the studio moved to its current home in Hallgarten Hall as part of the Hopkins Center for the Arts, shortly after the graduate program was inaugurated.

 CEMI: Center for Experimental Music and Intermedia at the University of North Texas College of Music, an outgrowth of the work of Merrill Ellis who, in 1963, established a tape and electronic music laboratory for experimental music and ensuing developments, including the Merrill Ellis Intermedia Theater.

 iEAR; Integrated Electric Arts at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, founded around 1981 by Neil Rolnick

 CCM: Center for Contempory Music at Mills College, an outgrowth of the San Francisco Tape Music Center established 1961 by former Mills music students Morton Subotnick and Ramon Sender with help from Pauline Oliveros. In 1966 the center moved to Mills College, where it was later renamed the Center for Contemporary Music.

 Winham Laboratory at Princeton University, named for Godfrey Winham, who, in 1970, with Kenneth Steiglitz, established a digital-to-analogue conversion laboratory at Princeton, later renamed the Godfrey Winham Laboratory.

 Experimental Music Studios and Computer Music Project at the University of Illinois

The consortium was founded in 1984 as recipients of a grant from the Consortium Commissioning program of the National Endowment for the Arts to administer three computer music commissions and to present them in significant public performances.

In October 1986, the three original studios expanded to six, establishing CDCM as a non-profit association to organize their collective compositional, technical, and institutional resources to advance the creation, appreciation, and dissemination of computer music. In September 1994, CDCM and the International Computer Music Association, Inc., became non-profit, affiliated organizations.

Audio context, live experience
This discography includes non-computer works, including analog and digital synthesizers, traditional instruments – basically anything that can generate a sound. Some tracks are part of larger works that combine other senses, namely visual. That is, many of the works incorporate film, lighting effects, two-dimensional and three-dimensional. Also, some tracks lack other live experiences – acoustical quality and surround-sound aspects. In some cases, sensory effects created by analog harmonics are lost in the CD versions. As reviewer Brian E. Belet (de) put in his review of Vol. 10, "Excerpts from most pieces present a serious aesthetic problem for a listener: preserving the context of the whole is usually impossible."

Technography: CDCM Computer Music Series
CDCM Computer Music Series on Centaur Records. The CDCM CDs are arranged in three series with distinctive themes: The Computer Music Studio (Vols. 1–9, a series of studio portraits), The Virtuoso in the Computer Age-I-V (Vols. 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, CDs with an instrumental focus); and The Composer in the Computer Age, I–VII (Vols. 12, 16-20, forthcoming).

Some recordings have been redistributed on Naxos Digital Services, Ltd. of Hong Kong.
