With Projekt 2 Koenig developed a composition that must be built step by step: individual dimensions for the different parameters of the compositional structure (instruments, division of time, harmonic/melodic area, volume); rules for selecting these dimensions (specifically or at random, singly or in groups, with or without temporal development); and rules of combination.
Yes it is conventional, but many composers have begun their compositional careers on instruments such as the guitar, oboe and clarinet.
Mr. Mitchell, playing alto saxophone, clarinet and assorted toy instruments, presents compositional forms with varying degrees of flexibility.
" Burtner's polyrhythmicon expands the possibilities for the listener who now can hear music that no one had been able to play before". The polyrhythmicon is an original computer hyper-instrument / compositional toolkit developed (since 1994) to realize compositional ideas concerning extended computer-generated polymetric structures.
On each mission the Moon-orbiting Command and Service modules carried cameras and remote-sensing instruments for gathering compositional information.
A separate Simultaneous Multiple Sample Light Scattering (SMSLS) instrument was used to assess compositional polydispersity via the broadening of the LCST temperature transition as compositional heterogeneity of samples increases.
Topics covered include: the beginnings of network music in the Bay area, the rise of the Laptop Orchestra, the laptop ensemble as research lab, interconnected musical networks, tangible controllers and digital musical instruments, live coding, and compositional and conducting strategies for laptop ensemble.
In this exploration by Süperfad and Nando Costa, abstract forms are mixed with ethereally bleak landscapes where compositional pictures transform into strange glass instruments that look part musical, part scientific more suited to a laboratory than a concert hall.
