LO_10_Computer Music

In this week’s topic, I would like to talk about artist Gottfried Michael Koenig’s work.

Gottfried is a contemporary composer and learnt both music theories and music representations. His work is drastically different from traditional composer’s work. In his presentation in the link above, the music is very suitable for a sci-fi movie background. I admire him for using this avant-garde method to make music in the 1950s, which is a very early stage for even computer and network development. I believe his style and working method had a big impact on the later electronic music. Even though electronic music is not my personal favorite music style, I can still see the art expression in it. This music trend, again as I mentioned before, is very modern and very distinct from all the previous music trends.

I can not guess the algothism and method used in this piece of music, but by guessing, I think he made the basic music elements into variables and borrowed randomness into it. 

Basically, I think every Epoch-making work is precious.
