Soon available at Ràdio Web MACBA:

Generative music is a term used to describe music which has been composed using a set of rules or system. This series of six episodes 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 and examines the use of determinacy and indeterminacy in music and how these relate to issues around control, automation and artistic intention.

Each episode in the series is accompanied by an additional programme featuring exclusive or unpublished sound pieces by leading sound artists and composers working in the field.

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'.

any feedback welcome!
enjoy!

The third episode in this series of podcast examines the use of determinacy and indeterminacy in music. It looks at how chance has been used in a variety of ways in the composition and performance of musical works – from works derived from the tossing of coins, to more rigorous explorations of the laws governing probability. The programme also looks at the use of chance in the visual arts and literature, and changing approaches to science during the twentieth century, describing the impact of these disciplines upon music making. It investigates concepts and ideas behind these works with reference to works drawn from different traditions.
