The Influence of Text—Present or Absent—in my Music
In this article I discuss the influence of text—in a broad sense—on my music. Careful elaboration of the written text (le travail d’écriture), made possible by musical notation, can be amplified in the context of computer music, where structural representations may suggest specific transformations of motives or intimate mutations of the sound itself. Certain texts have been influential to my musical options, especially the play Little Boy by Pier…

The Liberation of Sound, Art-Science and the Digital Domain
Varèse insisted that the same poetic impulse could move the composer and the scientist, and he strongly advocated the synergy between art and science, the only way to provide music with new means of expression and ‘to infuse it with youthful sap’, as he wrote in 1917 (in an article in Picabia’s 391 magazine). Music has been at the forefront of many advances in the field of science and technology—including the implementation of new uses of the com…

Composing in real-time
The author briefly describes his Duet for one pianist, which is probably the earliest instance of live interaction between performer and computer entirely within the realm of acoustic sounds. However the main point of the article is to draw attention upon problems related to real-time. Not only does the use of real-time systems bring limitations and difficulties for the durability of the music, but one may even argue that the concept of real-time…
Real-World Sounds and Simulacra in my Computer Music
The author first emphasizes the fact that hearing mechanisms are adapted to performing investigations on the origin of sounds generated in an acoustic environment. He states his interest in staging encounters between the visible world of real sounds and the invisible world of digitized sounds: the former are constrained by their acoustic generation, while the latter can be termed illusory and devoid of material constraints. The author then commen…
Sculpting Sounds with Computers
The author is active as both a composer and a research scientist. The article emphasizes the inspiration that music can bring to science and technology. This is first shown through a number of historical examples, from classical Greece to the computer age. Problems involving the use of the computer to calculate musical sounds are discussed. The author describes the esthetic incentives in his computer compositions and explains how they relate to h…
