Dematerializations and Patterns (A.N.N. ~16)


This work developed from an exploration of the aesthetic and philosophical considerations in composing music with algorithmic systems, with a specific focus on machine learning. These considerations were made in order to establish a methodology for music composition, which assists the composer in shedding an overly technical focus in favour of an emphasis on the artistic content of the work. The piece is built from simple pulses which together over 16 channels form dense and shifting sound masses and spaces.
