Perspectives on Generative and Systems Music

COMPOSING WITH PROCESS is a series of six episodes, written and edited by Mark Fell and Joe Gilmore, which explores generative approaches (including algorithmic, systems-based, formalised and procedural) to composition and performance primarily in the context of experimental technologies and music practices of the latter part of the 20th Century. Each episode is accompanied by an additional program, entitled exclusives, featuring unpublished sound pieces by leading sound artists working in the field.
