Aesthetic Complexity 
this is an interesting body of works. do you employ generative processes in the composition of these pieces? what role does complexity play in your music?
Hello phermans. Thanks. Yes, most of my music is based on some kind of generative process. My approach to generative composition is grounded in complex systems theory and information theory, and so my approach to generative composition is closely related to Philip Galanter’s definition of generative art (see this paper: http://philipgalanter.com/downloads/ga2003_what_is_genart.pdf ). My projects use a variety of generative systems. For example, the Tintinnabuli Mathematica series uses algorithmic integer sequences as the basis for composing melodies, and uses Arvo Pärt’s tintinnabuli method as the basis for generating harmonies. In answer to your second question, complexity plays the role of something to be understood through exploring ways of generating and manipulating it. So, many of my pieces are experiments in the sense that I’m using them to explore what makes musical complexity in terms of both objective and subjective properties. I also use complexity as a variable to structure elements within a piece, or to arrange pieces in a sequence. I see from your site that you’ve worked with Larry Polansky. The writings of Polansky and James Tenney have been useful in exploring this subject.
