Abstract
Composition traditionally means notation and formal organization. Conversely
many modern musical works that utilize electronic technologies do not rely on
formal notational systems. This paper makes the case for compositional
systems, which do not adhere to traditional forms, and in particular those that
do not elevate notation as the final musical artifact.
Two main areas will be examined: Firstly, the pragmatic philosophical
position, as it relates to technology, which argues that text based forms such
as notation are unnecessary in works that utilize electronic media.
Secondly, the consideration of a systematic framework that facilitates
composition with electronic technologies that does not rely on notation,
namely Cybernetics.
