Composing with Process 2.1: Systems



Curated by Mark Fell and Joe Gilmore. Narrated by Connie Treanor.

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.

They don't credit hafler trio properly nor linked listener to his simplysuperior.org place which is not wise and the 'mixing' of two tracks also not right done.
