Generative and computational music City and Science Biennial
“Generative music” is understood as music in which the composer establishes prefixed sound materials and rules that govern its evolution over time. This compositional technique can be considered an algorithmic approach to music, which puts it in direct relation with computer science. This City and Science Biennial presents very diverse cases of generative music, from the work of Josep Maria Mestres Quadreny, a pioneer of computational music on an international level, to experimentation with writing code live.
Programme
Josep Maria Mestres Quadreny and Quartet Atenea
In this concert, the Quartet Atenea performs Quartet de Catroc, by Josep Maria Mestres Quadreny, a pioneering piece of generative music.
Roc Jiménez de Cisneros
Roc Jiménez de Cisneros will perform a work based on the aleatoric and generative music composed by Josep Maria Mestres Quadreny, based on the Estro aleatorio or Aronada.
AGF - Poemproducer
In this concert, AGF - Poemproducer is developing a composition process based on the work of Iannis Xenakis. This session is a good context for explaining and making stochastic process-based music and AGF's confluence of computer codes and the poetic word heard.
