I guess I'll jump in and toot my horn as well...I have a new release of
computer music coming out on Rastermusic  this
spring called "blueCube( )"...approx 80% was composed with
Csound/Cecilia/CMask and the rest was created with Soundhack and Virtual
Waves and other granular synth apps...the title track will accompany an
article I wrote for the new Csound book by Richard Boulanger on MIT Press
and three of the pieces from the CD were "performed" at the CalArts
Electronic Music Festival last November...


as for what music is and how to compose  music: speaking about music is like
dancing about architecture (paraphrased I'm sure)...which I guess means
no-one can truely explain objectively and conclusively what music is and how
to compose it...for every person that writes music there is a different way
of listening and conceptualizing sound/music and it's meaning...just as this
is my highly subjective definition/opinion...
how to compose computer music? you just do it...it's something that the
brain just hears and speaks as a native poetic language...this can't be
taught...you develop this ability early in life...some people make music
that achieves it's own life force and momentum and others seem incapable of
breathing life into a series of sounds...such is life...
endin,
KIM
