Research Statement

Research Background This work investigates the process of succinct music representation within the Impromptu live coding environment. Live coding performances, like this one, serve as a platform for experimenting with and demonstrating innovations in algorithmic and procedural processes in music composition, contributing to an ongoing research agenda focused on the computational expression of music. Research Contribution The performance showcased the emergent combination of simultaneous computational processes, distilled from my research in computational musicology and outlined in my peer-reviewed publications over several years (Brown, 2006; Sorensen and Brown, 2007; Brown and Sorensen, 2009). These processes involved real-time granulation of found samples, exploring the boundaries of source perception, alongside rhythmic activity that playfully oscillates between aleatoric, recursive, and metric structures. Research Significance The performance of King's Anatomy was held at King’s College, London, following an invitation from the event organisers, reflecting the international recognition of my live coding expertise. A video recording of the concert was subsequently selected through peer review for inclusion on the annual DVD of the Computer Music Journal, accompanying Vol. 35(4). This recording serves as the official documentation of the performance.
