Description
The complex of synthesis, generative algorithms, and performance in computer music can present a form of ecology where sound evokes a speculative, postnatural environment. In this lecture/concert, I explore the spatiality of such conditions, discussing aesthetic and technological approaches to spatial texture. Aesthetic considerations includes the idea of "speculative synthesis": an ontological listening process which relates to acousmatic aspects of sound. Technological applications discussed include the use of non-linear and machine learning algorithms (clustering, neural networks, self-organising maps) for textural composition, live interaction and spatialisation.
