Autechre Sneak preview of COMPOSING WITH PROCESS 2. 1 podcast, on generative audio

[RWM]

Sneak preview of COMPOSING WITH PROCESS 2. 1, the second episode of the series on generative music by Mark Fell and Joe Gilmore: http://bit.ly/csDGIk. Very soon available online.

 

Summary

The second episode in the series looks at the use of formal systems in the composition and performance of musical works. It explains the diversity of approaches to musical systems using a range of technologies and processes. The episode asks how we might distinguish systems based procedures in music to other musical activities, and makes reference to technological development and implementation, structural complexity, and relationships to other musical traditions. We compare three tape-based approaches to composition that explore sound as a temporal and spatial phenomenon and refer to theoretical positions offered by notable artists working in this field.

damn so that sean booth track won't be played. guess it was too good to be true!

[Soloman Tump]

Its a 6 part series though I believe, so there's still time. Looking forward to hearing this regardless

 

*edit*

 

Each episode of this series is followed by a accompaniment programme of exclusive music by some of the leading sound artists and composers working in generative music. The first one presents two contrasting generative works by German artist Florian Hecker and Japanese artist Ryoji Ikeda.

 

So the Booth effort may feature in the accompanying program.

The Sean Booth exclusive track won't be featured. Sorry for any inconvenience caused. However, the second part of each episode will always include 2 or more exclusives tracks by very interesting artists.

 

Thanks for being there!

unfortunately not, still interesting nonetheless

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.

episode 2.2 is also online with exclusive tracks by Marcus Schmickler and EVOL.
