The pieces that make up this collection were composed with the GENDYN algorithm – GENerative DYNamics.
The GENDYN algorithm is an example of nonstandard sound synthesis techniques, relying on random walks guided by probability distribution functions to define the character of complex timbres as well as musical form.
Sound is generated ex-nihilo – from nothing – through mathematical expressions that are characterized by initial conditions defined by the composer, setting in motion the computations encoded in the program.
Blurring the lines between music composition and computer programming and electrical engineering, it’s a curious and somehow quite old-school work, but if you like your electronics sounding genuinely experimental, raw and avant garde, this is an 18 minutes you’ll appreciate. – Chain DLK
