Audiovisualities affiliated faculty John Supko has just posted an excerpt from A Free Invention for George Pitcher, a new piece of generative music on his website (www.johnsupko.com).

 

About the piece:

 

Commissioned by Jeffrey Edelstein in honor of the 88th birthday of Princeton professor emeritus of philosophy George Pitcher, A Free Invention is a piece of generative software that interweaves recordings of composer & musicologist Edward T. Cone teaching a counterpoint class at Princeton in 1973 with sampled acoustic instruments, electronic tones & the sound of the wind to create a constantly shifting sonic meditation on memory, serendipity & the passage of time.
