COMPONENT AMB PROCESSOS: PERSPECTIVES SOBRE MÚSICA GENERATIVA I DE SISTEMES #1

A càrrec de Mark Fell i Joe Gilmore. Narrat per Connie Treanor.

"Continu" investiga com la música pot ser generada mitjançant un ampli rang de tècniques. Aquestes van des de sistemes de procediments simples, com és el cas de "Twin Bleebs" de Mika Vainio, en la qual la constant repetició de dos esdeveniments produeix un continu desfasament, fins a "Neural Synthesis No.9" de David Tudor –un sistema electrònic més complex que explora la indeterminació a través de l'emulació d’activitat neuronal. El programa repassa també exemples de música composta mitjançant regles matemàtiques o geomètriques formals, com "Studie 18" de Martin Neukom o "27 Fibonacci Numbers in a Binary Chain" de Thomas Brinkmann.

COMPOSING WITH PROCESS: PERSPECTIVES ON GENERATIVE AND SYSTEMS MUSIC #1

"Continue"

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'.

PODCAST

Xenakis "Mycenae Alpha" (1978) for UPIC

The UPIC system was conceived by Iannis Xenakis in the early 1950s; the first version of UPIC was built by Xenakis' research center, the CEMAMu, in the late 1970s, and the system continues to be developed to this day. Instead of a keyboard to perform the music, the UPIC's performance device is a mouse and/or a digital drawing board. These are used to trace the composer's graphic score into the UPIC computer program, which interprets the drawings as real time instructions for sound synthesis - the composition/performance of a graphic musical score and real-time sound synthesis are unified by the UPIC's approach.
