Aesthetic and Philosophical Implications of Noise in Morphons and Bions (2011)

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract

The new work, Morphons and Bions (2011), is a real-time computer music work generated in Pd. All sounds in the work are synthesized as opposed to recorded. The sound sources rely fundamentally on white noise and digital noise mediated by classical synthesis techniques and random processes. Since the work is built on a substrate entirely made of noise, the piece is situated within certain philosophical and aesthetic issues surrounding noise, its use, and its definition. This paper seeks to address these issues.
