I knew what you meant and wasn't referring to it either - just live performances in general. My point is that the people I mentioned above wouldn't want to hear this regardless of where it was performed (not even if it was recorded).
Maybe it jus...
It could be augmenting in New Music circles, but what I meant was that this is not the kind of stuff that "regular folk" want to listen to, so it's not going to bring people back into the concert hall. Now, maybe that's not a concern, for either t...
Interesting comments on improvisation.
I agree with Adam's comment, particularly as one who has a general distaste for programmatic music. :-)
Here's my thought regarding J.C.'s comment: based on the music I heard on the podcast (which is all I'...
Both wonderful. Thanks guys!
I was wondering the same thing.
This is a group for composers living and working in southern California so that we can connect and support each other's work.
Nice one Jeff!

- Hey Shane:
Good luck tomorrow night, hope the place is packed! I can't be there physically but mentally I'll be wishing you the best! After it's over, start a discussion/blog on NNM and describe the concert; or better yet, video it and put it on youtube and NNM.

Dave Gerhart said… - Shane - I just saw the message you posted on my wall. I tried checking out the website, but it would not load... If we can work something out, we would love to play. Let me know. You can email me directly at info@ironworkspercussion.com.
Thanks! Dave

It is usually completely musical, nothing to do with computers (or pens, papers etc). With 'other sentences' it was one isorhythmic melody (color/talea pair) moving fairly quick tempo in and out sync to get octave doublings, small melodic range but wider group range trying to mix instruments so that in out-sync phases they would be one larger sound without identifiable instruments (which of course don't work but that was the ideal). It is part of the series I've now worked lately, last four pieces in NNM are all from that series.
Implementation/writing/programming is then different thing, sometimes if affects more, sometimes less, few ideas are much more algorithmic, or is mixed like the first appearance of the melody/theme in 'other sentences' is "manually" composed, the computer makes 'endless' variations of it during the piece.

- Hello Shane, thanks very much, I'm glad you like them ! Yes, I try to answer (after only two cups of coffee at this morning :)): 'other sentences' and most of my current works are made with extensive use of computer, after the musical idea (it must come first !) I write a computer program where I convert the idea to the form of an algorithm using deterministic and probabilistic rules. A single run generates both audio (MIDI) output and a score, mostly I need quite many runs to find a right one, sometimes fewer. This also explains how I'm making these so fast (it is relative, I've made music with computers this way from 1979 so for me it has been very slow process). The choice of the instruments is part of the idea: to find a combination where the sound merges so that you don't hear separate instrument but the overall sound, anyway not all the time, sometimes individual lines, sometimes all, and in best cases different combinations in separate listenings.
Hope this helps, I've tried explain the process here too:
You can find scores to all pieces from here:
(they contain "errors" or bad writing, I just haven't found a way to program some things yet).
Thanks Shane !

Paul Greenhaw said… - Hey Shane -- all is going well -- playing more drums than ever these days -- funny thing, my chops are better than when I was 20 -- I think it has to do with going back to the basic BASICS -- zen discipline shit
As far as composition..... I need to awaken that beast again soon -- have had this large 45 min. piece finished for quite sometime, just need to get it back up to speed with Sean (as in Ferguson) -- and finish the video
This is a nice site -- fun to explore
