beariksson Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 COMPOSING WITH PROCESS is a series of six episodes, written and edited by Mark Fell and Joe Gilmore, which explores generative approaches (including algorithmic, systems-based, formalised and procedural) to composition and performance primarily in the context of experimental technologies and music practices of the latter part of the 20th Century. Each episode is accompanied by an additional programme, entitled EXCLUSIVES, featuring unpublished sound pieces by leading sound artists working in the field. http://rwm.macba.cat/en/composingwithprocess_tag COMPOSING WITH PROCESS: PERSPECTIVES ON GENERATIVE AND SYSTEMS MUSIC #1 Continue 16.08.2010 (76' 08'') Curated by Mark Fell and Joe Gilmore. Narrated by Connie Treanor. 'Continue' investigates how music can be generated using a wide range of techniques. These range from very simple procedural systems, such as Mika Vainio's 'Twin Bleebs' which features two repeating events going in and out of phase, to David Tudor's 'Neural Synthesis No.9' – a more complex electronic system which explores indeterminacy through the emulation of neural activity. The programme also looks at music which has been composed using formal geometric and mathematical rules, for example: Martin Neukom's 'Studie 18' and Thomas Brinkmann's '27 Fibonacci Numbers in a Binary Chain'. more info: http://rwm.macba.cat/uploads/process/composingwithprocess1_eng.pdf Listen/download: http://rwm.macba.cat/en/research?id_capsula=709 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beariksson Posted September 21, 2010 Author Share Posted September 21, 2010 Ryoji Ikeda and Florian Hecker > Sean Booth so it's all cool. they are indeed both very good, but I would like to hear more sean booth solo stuff. theres lots more hecker and ryoji ikeda than sean booth out there. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beariksson Posted September 21, 2010 Author Share Posted September 21, 2010 is the ryoji one just a series of beeps? 'untitled (for John Cage)' was composed for an installation by Ryoji Ikeda for the 'Playing John Cage' exhibition at the Arnolfini Gallery in Bristol in 2005. The piece consists of 99 separate tracks of equal duration, designed to be played in shuffle mode on a CD player or iPod. These soundfiles consist of either a 12.5kHz sinewave or silence.

beariksson Posted October 17, 2010 Author Share Posted October 17, 2010 So i was talking to Mark Fell yesterday after seeing snd live, and he told me that Booth wanted Horizon to be credited to Gescom. But it was already announced as a Booth track so he told Fell not to include it in episode 1.2. And we will never hear it. :/ He also told me the next episode probably will be out this week. I think he said it will be mostly about Xenakis, and have more information on the compositions than in the previous episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awepittance Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 really? seems kind of ocd or maybe by revealing what booth does on his own would be too much to bare for autechre fans, something about revealing that makes him nervous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khov Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 correct me if i'm wrong but the Hecker track was already (different mix i guess) released on the tochnit aleph tape. or he was using similar loops. i like this tune anyway. nice program.

RWM Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I like their little theme song in the beginning the theme songs the use are great. 100% addictive. Sneak preview of the COMPOSING WITH PROCESS 2.2 Exclusives by Marcus Schmicker and EVOL: http://bit.ly/gG9eU4 Soon available online. 02:00 Marcus Schmickler 'RR 0' (Revolving Realities #0), 2010 (23:43) 'RR 00' is an excerpt from a collaborative auto-reactive light and sound installation that was premiered on 19th January 2010 in Cologne. The sound component is the sonification of astrophysical data and the simulation of dynamic systems. The installation consisted of computer controlled electro-luminescent wires, quasi-spherical light projections and 10.2 channel audio. The light installation, its custom controllers and the light projections were created by Cologne-based group Interpalazzo. Schmickler created various musical parts especially for this collaborative work. 'RR 0' is the process running at sunset before dark, after which the light installation becomes visible. The piece was originally conceived for 'The Bonn Patternization' - which explores the sonification of astrophysical data. The basis of 'The Bonn Patternization' consists of readings for different stars, star clusters and galaxies, as well as their properties such as light, distance and coordinates. In addition, sounds are generated from systems that arithmetically simulate astronomically relevant phenomena such as the interaction between celestial bodies due to gravitation. The process underlying 'RR 0' simulates the behavior of objects or clusters of objects in a gravity field. It is based on a visual embodiment primarily implemented in Supercollider by Fredrik Olofsson and reworked into a Subtractive Synthesis application with the help of Alberto de Campo. 25:41 EVOL 'Untitled Anthem Study', 2010 (12:37) After reading Benoît Mandelbrot's 1982 The Fractal Geometry of Nature in 1998, Roc Jiménez de Cisneros became fascinated with self-similarity and iterated function systems and their possible application to musical structures. This piece, which was finished a few days after Mandelbrot's death in the fall of 2010, uses several synthesis models originally written for Rave Slime (ALKU, 2010) in combination with a recursive algorithm that was used in the composition Fart Synthesis (Presto!?, 2009). The piece is one of many studies realised in the research process started in late 2008 to combine rave-inspired sounds with generative algorithms to explore particle physics concepts such as configuration spaces, parameter permutations and phase spaces.
