Fields of Interest Workshop

The workshop will be revising a mix of compositional strategies and implement them into a group-presentation. Strategies adressed should be such as: algorithmic music with and without computers, tuning systems, language and syntax, self-similarity and fractals, among others. The goal will be to create a playfully staged discourse about different possibilities of representations for compositional means, of which some can coexist and some wont. As a preperation for the workshop, every participant is asked to bring an introductional text about his current prefered field of interest. Laptops required.
