Composing with Process: Perspectives on Generative and Systems Music #8.1

Generative music is a term used to describe music which has been composed using a set of rules or system. This series of nine episodes explores generative approaches (including algorithmic, system-based, formalised and procedural) to composition and performance primarily in the context of experimental technologies and music practices of the latter part of the twentieth century and examines the use of determinacy and indeterminacy in music and how these relate to issues around control, automation and artistic intention.
