I found the reading’s discussion on algorithms to be quite interesting, especially when applied to something artistic such as music. My intuition is to associate algorithms with numbers, but through our class, it’s evident that there are multiple ways for us to interact with sound algorithmically. When applying principles of computing to the arts, it becomes clear that there is a strong connection between how composers design repeating patterns and how we interact with TidalCycles. However, we have the added benefit of being able to connect to other digital mediums too. I’m quite interested to see how our Live Coding performances can pull from other digital sources, such as web-based interactions or some creative interpretation of large datasets.
