Composing with Process, Performing in Time – Session 4

Programming allows for a different approach to time in music composition. Practical and theoretical aspects of composing with process, generative sound and image, building systems for music, and performing live with such systems, will be thoroughly dissected in this panel.

With Thomas Patteson (US), Mark Fell (UK), Joe Gilmore (UK) and Juliana Borinski (BR/FR).

Thomas Patteson
The Time of Roland Kayn’s Cybernetic Music

Thomas Patteson explores the legacy of Roland Kayn (1933–2011) with a focus on the distinctive sense of time engendered by his music. Kayn developed a unique approach to electronic sound that he named cybernetic music. He envisioned the role of the composer as a designer of the technological conditions for the emergence of sonic phenomena that should be literally beyond imagination.

Mark Fell, Joe Gilmore & Juliana Borinski
Presentation & conversation

Mark Fell and Joe Gilmore speak about how they work with process-based and generative methods of composition, and how this informs ‘time’ and ‘rhythm’ in their work. Juliana Borinski contributes a photographic perspective on process-based methods.
