And now...

.forum - week nine.

Today several third-year students presented work to the music technology school of the EMU.



Dave Dowling spoke about his SuperCollider work "Forced Unity." This piece has spawned a further interest into algorithmic composition, resulting in a extended research project for Dave. I curiously await to see what results from this project conducted by a highly dedicated student.

Luke Digance presented a piece which uses the audio programming language SuperCollider to imitate "retro" analogue music technology. Unfortunately the piece was not complete, however, what Luke has written so far is fantastic.

Ben Probert explained his Max/MSP program "Fantastical Metal" which creates piano music itself using mathematics, probability and statistics. While the music itself becomes boring after just a few minutes, it is none-the-less the work of a bright and patient mind.
