COMPOSING WITH PROCESS: PERSPECTIVES ON GENERATIVE AND SYSTEMS MUSIC #8.1
Transcript
Curated by Mark Fell and Joe Gilmore
The eight episode in COMPOSING WITH PROCESS: PERSPECTIVES ON GENERATIVE AND SYSTEMS MUSIC continues to look at how composers working with generative systems implement change in their works. This episode focuses on models of change using mathematical structures derived from complex dynamic systems observed in nature.
Through advances in mathematics, physics and biology, the programme looks at how composers have utilised the central findings of chaos theory and emergent systems — such as cellular automata, Lindenmeyer Systems and fractal geometry — to generate automated dynamic patterns of change.
Mark Fell and Joe Gilmore
Sound artists and curators Mark Fell and Joe Gilmore talk about minimalism, complexity, abstraction and the processes and concepts behind their audiovisual works.
Two Discrete Generative Systems
Mark Fell and Joe Gilmore wrap up this series on generative and process music with a piece created specifically for the occasion: 'Two Discrete Generative Systems'.
Exclusives
Exclusive music by Keith Fullerton Whitman and Carl Michael von Hausswolff.
Models of change
This episode considers the notion of change in music. It looks at how scientific and mathematical concepts can be used to model change in the acoustic domain.
