Program Description

With Spencer and Ryan on-site, and Yoshio Ojima joining us from Japan via video call, this workshop will feature a number of these creative strategies for composing "beyond the self" and approaching the creation of sound as emergence, with a presentation of both their historical underpinnings and possibilities as vectors toward the future. This will include a discussion of the history of these conceptual ideas as well as specific technical work for "non-deterministic" audio systems within the workspaces like TidalCycles, Wotja and Ableton Live (although prior experience with these systems is by no means a prerequisite). There will be a specific focus on kankyo ongaku (environmental music), not just a deep historical overview, but also an exploration into its contemporary resonance as a tool for working around the entrapments of overworn "ambient" background listening modes.
