More work on my computer composition today. Going slow but I have a definitive idea on how I want to continue now.
My main problem up until this point has been how to structure a 10 minute long piece. Pop music conventions go out the window from the get go and I have very little knowledge of classical forms and structure. Since I have a few small elements I can play with in various contexts I think I will usea system of abstracts: Each new section must contain at least 1 recurring element and each recurring section must provide at least 1 new element. This is a good way of working with intuitive structure (the kind you make up as you go along) and stops you from falling into the trap of going round in circles.
Also experimented with using demolition noise as a control signal for the Roland 100M in EMS5. I found that I had a to run 2 channels into the modulator inputs just to get a significant reaction and even then I feel I could have gotten much the same effect with white noise and some amplitude modulation.
Will keep you posted. x
