RESEARCH
Research opens a line of broadcast programmes that aim to provide up-close views of scenes and key persons in the world of contemporary art. It began with AVANT, a monograph on experimental music in Spain, which retraces some of the key moments of the Spainish musical avant-garde, scarcely documented until now. This series, written and edited by Roc Jiménez de Cisneros, is also available at Ubuweb.
Parallel to that, 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 Each episode is accompanied by an additional programme, entitled EXCLUSIVES, featuring unpublished sound pieces by leading sound artists working in the field.
A range of sound works representing different periods, traditions and approaches to generative and systems based music.
