In this video I share some thoughts about algorithmic composition. It had been a while since I talked a general topic like this and I thought this is a good moment to take a pause from all that patching and take a step back and consider the ins and outs of an algorithmic approach to composition.
I talk about the relationship between John Cage and Pierre Boulez as their compositional approach diverged over the years. You can read their correspondence here:

I also mention one of my favorite books "The Master and his Emissary" by I. MacGilchrist:
