MUSIC<http://rwm.macba.cat/en/research>1.1

*COMPOSING WITH PROCESS: PERSPECTIVES ON GENERATIVE AND SYSTEMS MUSIC is a
new Research series for Radio Web MACBA http://rwm.macba.cat/ curated 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.

* <http://rwm.macba.cat/en/research>*The first episode, entitled 'Continue',
is already available online:

'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'.


*COMPOSING WITH PROCESS: PERSPECTIVES ON GENERATIVE AND SYSTEMS MUSIC 1.2

*Each episode of COMPOSING WITH PROCESS: PERSPECTIVES ON GENERATIVE AND
SYSTEMS MUSIC 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*.
