With the ongoing development of algorithmic composition programs
and communities of practice expanding, algorithmic music faces a
turning point. Joining dozens of emerging and established scholars
alongside leading practitioners in the field, chapters in this
Handbook both describe the state of algorithmic composition and
also set the agenda for critical research on and analysis of
algorithmic music. Organized into four sections, chapters explore
the music's history, utility, community, politics, and potential
for mass consumption. Contributors address such issues as the role
of algorithms as co-performers, live coding practices, and
discussions of the algorithmic culture as it currently exists and
what it can potentially contribute society, education, and
ecommerce. Chapters engage particularly with post-human
perspectives - what new musics are now being found through
algorithmic means which humans could not otherwise have made - and,
in reciprocation, how algorithmic music is being assimilated back
into human culture and what meanings it subsequently takes.
Blending technical, artistic, cultural, and scientific viewpoints,
this Handbook positions algorithmic music making as an essentially
human activity.
