he deep changes that have affected aural perception since the late 19th century may be reduced to a common denominator: loudspeaker-mediated listening. In the earlier half of the 20th century, we encounter the influences and effects of such changes in countless reflections and practices, which I introduce through a metaphoric image of the loudspeaker and its sides: on one side, the listener, wh...

In order to create algorithmic art using the wealth of documents available on the internet, artists must discover strategies for organizing those documents. In this paper I demonstrate techniques for organizing and collaging sounds from the user-contributed database at freesound.org. Sounds can be organized in a graph structure by exploiting aural similarity relationships provided by freesound....

Chordia proposed a new system for the analysis and representation of bandiṣes (bandishes) and gaṭs (gats) in Hindustani music using humdrum syntax (Frontiers of Research in Speech andMusic Conference, 2007). In this paper, we extend the capabilities of this system to encode Carnatic music and propose a unified system for Indian classical music. It enables us to systematically encode Carnatic mu...

This position paper proposes that creative practices can be usefully understood as agency networks. In particular it looks at interactive algorithmic musical practices and the takes a distributed view of the influences involved in such music making. The elements involved include humans, tools, culture and the physical environment that constitute a system or network of mutual influences. Such an...

This paper introduces temporal type constructors to computer music programming, and shows how they make languages more expressive. Music programming involves timestructured data types such as audio, MIDI, control signals, and streams of spectral frames. Each computer music language supplies some fixed set of these. Temporal type constructors are instead a way for the programmer to invent these ...
