about

Furthering the concept of "Legibility" by diving deeper into Ravel's "Oiseaux Tristes." I fed the audio output of "Ravel's Birds (for Maya Miller)" into an application that analyzes audio to produce MIDI. This MIDI file was then turned back into score notation and fed back into the same system for playback as "Legibility." I then iteratively performed this process three more times to produce "Sad Sad Birds," "Sad Sad Sad Birds," and "Sad Sad Sad Sad Birds." The effect on the music itself is hard to predict but grows more abstract, with more space, over time.
