Manual and algorithmic procedures in soundscape composition

A research article focusing on the use of algorithmic procedures was included in the book Audiovisual e Indústrias Criativas, published by MacGraw-Hill. You can access it here.

Abstract
A new electroacoustic composition — Travessia (2020) — relies on a well-known urban soundscape of Lisbon: the sound radiated from the 25 de Abril bridge. As with many soundscape compositions, the sonic reality captured in situ serves as the basis for subsequent manipulative procedures. Although exploring those procedures, the focus of this article is on the human/machine interface, especially important in electroacoustic music composition. Building on previous research on the use of algorithms in music-making, an analysis of compositional processes is carried out in connection with their associated aesthetic decisions and implications, providing new insights into composing with computers.
