Grids, Beats, and Groups

This ensemble focuses on networking multiple computer musicians together in order to share a common temporal context. This shared beat space allows for the ensemble to explore live electronic performance of rhythmically complex music. Students will be expected to create parts that create a cohesive piece as a group, but also allow for improvisation with their material. Although this ensemble will be based around a “grid”, the focus of the class is to find ways to improvise and manipulate the constrained beat space.
