Electronic Music and Generative Remixing: Improving L-Systems Aesthetics and Algorithms

Abstract Postmodern art theories, overproduction, and digital technologies are testing the creativity, innovation, social political engagement of art. One Dadaist solution being explored by artists is aesthetic possibilities associated with conceptual process. For example, in field electronic music, producers DJs claiming that remixing a genuine example such creative procedure; however, to justify this claim, requires bringing foundations together using tools. The main problem audio workstations plug-ins enclose specific frameworks blur boundaries between true creativity perception creativity. This article sought develop codes software Lindenmayer systems (L-systems), which parallel rewriting type formal grammar. As much their potential remains unexplored, some algorithms interface designs were developed improve interactive programming options. Finally, programmable L-systems as genetic metaphor, additions musical morphing starting point building generative technique.
