“My [untitled] compositions started as a series of solos for different instruments that focused on the use of a single idea or sound. I was interested in this because I wanted to have a set of compositions that I could easily juxtapose in different performing situations. All of these pieces are characterized by a sense of emptiness that allows them to work in this context. The second and foremost idea surrounding the composition of these pieces is the intention of writing pieces that could be endlessly looped, as if they were part of a sound installation. They are structured in way that is flexible enough to allow them to function in both the context of a sound installation or a performance.

Created by Celeste Hutchins. Titled and commissioned by Jascha Narveson.

Hutchins made this with my synthesizer, running pulsewaves through a
logic gate and then through a low pass filter. Zie says zie’s not
quite sure what a logic gate useful for in a synthesizer, but it does
make very square attacks, which can be interesting.

This is the 7th in a series of 40 short commissioned pieces. This
commissioning project is intended to be a proof of concept of musical
economic viability in the post copyright era. If you are intersted in
commissioning a piece, please see

A first installment of a series of pieces “parameterized” by a human and realized by a machine (in this case a 2003 apple computer). The duration of these pieces typically span between a few millisecons and eternity. This is a friendly 5 minutes and 47 seconds selection

Performed by the Flux String Quartet.
