Thinking deeply about ordinary things. My continuing thoughts on things musical, electroacoustic, philosophical, artistic, creative, social, technological. So, i teach a couple of classes on algorithmic composition to undergrads and masters students. as a composer, i stress the importance of mapping to the students (i.e., the values that come out of the algorithms have to be applied with especial aesthetic considerations; usually mapping to pitch alone results in weird, boring muck). The patch also chang...

Thinking deeply about ordinary things. My continuing thoughts on things musical, electroacoustic, philosophical, artistic, creative, social, technological. New website for SpADE. The new website is not entirely official, but if you're interested in the spatialization work that we're doing at UL, you can get a sneak preview of the site while it's still under construction. it features a static home page that briefly describes SpADE and the researchers. it will also have a photo gallery in the future. I wel...

Thinking deeply about ordinary things. My continuing thoughts on things musical, electroacoustic, philosophical, artistic, creative, social, technological. This won't be a long post, because I'm still thinking about things. But, I've learned recently that there are actually people who read this occasionally. I'm flattered! And, well, honestly, surprised). So here is what I'm thinking deeply about at the moment:. Cage, Kahn, Attali. I am presenting a paper about my most recent piece, Morphons and Bions.

Thinking deeply about ordinary things. My continuing thoughts on things musical, electroacoustic, philosophical, artistic, creative, social, technological. This summer, I was invited to present a paper at a conference dedicated to chaos theory across many fields. Luckily for us, the organisers were happy to let the broader field of algorithmic music into the conference. The idea is that, as I compose these pieces, questions, philosophies, interests, etc., will come up. And, perhaps, I will post m...Digit...

Thinking deeply about ordinary things. My continuing thoughts on things musical, electroacoustic, philosophical, artistic, creative, social, technological. Margins and Electroacoustic Music. It's also marginalised from other genres that use the same techniques (such as techno, electronica, dubstep, drumnbass, etc.) because it isn't beat-based. I want to say: let's start with the bigger picture! Why isn't Trevor Wishart spoken of in the same circles as Brian Ferneyhough? Posted by klh at 19:40. Rainbow is...

Thinking deeply about ordinary things. My continuing thoughts on things musical, electroacoustic, philosophical, artistic, creative, social, technological. Rainbow is the new black. Okay, so you shamed me into implementing the hénon maps in Max/MSP/Jitter. the jitter matrix is so much better than the LCD object. (okay, no one actually personally shamed me, but i could hear your voices in my head.). But here's the snag, and i'm feeling quite clever for solving it. 0 0 0 initial conditions. So i made three...

Thinking deeply about ordinary things. My continuing thoughts on things musical, electroacoustic, philosophical, artistic, creative, social, technological. I've been ruminating about space today, specifically distance. For example, today, i walked from home to an appointment, getting a cappuccino ( 3! And wandering on the way. after, i treated myself to lunch out ( 16! Then stopped at tesco on the way home. As i was wandering, so did my mind. i began thinking about distance and how space influences o...

Thinking deeply about ordinary things. My continuing thoughts on things musical, electroacoustic, philosophical, artistic, creative, social, technological. So, if one were to take the typical juxtapositioning of acousmatic procedures to an extreme, would the result be too "humorous" to be taken seriously? Would the music be, at least in its reception if not its inception, Surrealist? That is, to become the musical equivalent of the first-year college student's favorite dorm-room print? I will occasionall...
