Context and Computer Composition - Andrew R. Brown

Ê The composer, as creative artist, is an interesting case for the study of computer usage. They typically work deliberately against the grain of convention, are renowned for persisting with awkward and tedious tasks, and produce works not so much with the intent of stabilising data or a situation but, instead, structuring sound to perturb or surprise the recipients expectations to some degree. In this paper I will address how we might look at composers in a way which helps us understand their computer usage. Context and Computer Composition Andrew R. Brown 16/11/99, 2:03 PM
