Periplo at SMC22

Conferences, Multimedia, Music, MusicalInformatics, SeminarsAndWorkshops

This year SMC has not been organized by me (as the previous two online edition, blame COVID). It was in St. Étienne and with my colleague Valeriya Korol we presented a paper, “For LISA. Music Composition from Gravitational waves” explaining the process that went from Valeriya’s GWD data, for the LISA mission, to my piece for prepared piano. On July 28th we also had the chance to present it at LISA meeting. You can check the paper here. And the music is here.

SuperCollider browsable source space for algorithmic composition.
