Revolutionary approaches to compositional practice and
musicological research have been associated with Otto Laske's work
for over a quarter of a century. Laske's scientific understanding
of the compositional process has made it possible to systematically
formalize computer-assisted and computer synthesized music. In this
book, international scholars survey new directions in compositional
and musicological practices as influenced by Laske's pioneering
work. These two seemingly independent areas of inquiry,
composition, and musicology, are presented as a comprehensive
integration. The essays offer an interdisciplinary examination of
issues imbued with ethnographic considerations of the musical
experience, research in perception and brain functions, the design
of computer-based neural networks that emulate human musical
activities, investigations into the psychological make-up of
artists, and a unique perspective on how computers are used in many
different areas of music. Compositional and cognitive musicological
research are placed in a historical perspective and accompanied
with contemporary issues surrounding this research. An interview
with Otto Laske and two of his own essays are also included.
This study of Otto Laske will appeal to musicologists and
students of music theory and composition. Its interdisciplinary
content will also interest scholars in a variety of fields
including electronic music, ethnomusicology, computer science,
artificial intelligence and other cognitive sciences, psychology,
and philosophy. Researchers will appreciate the comprehensive
bibliography of Laske's compositions and writings.
