Composition and juxtaposition. Studies.
Find the notes for the introduction to the seminar on "Repetition Repeats all other Repetitions - a version for 'Symphonie Diagonale' by Viking Eggeling" here. Here's a summary:
In January of this year myself and Stefan Östersjö made a version of Repetition Repeats all other Repetitions for the classic dadaist film Symphonie Diagonale by Swedish artist Viking Eggeling. From a music point of view it's a very odd project and an example of a (not widely used) collage-like artistic work method. It's basically the one thing (an existing piece of music) put on top of the other (an art video from the 20's) with minor adjustments to the music. What is it that makes this interesting?

ICMC 2007 in Copenhagen
The ICMC in 2007 will be held in Copenhagen this year. As somebody who works extensively with computers and improvisation (in combination that is) I am very honored to have been appointed one of the many ambassadors for this years conference. The work involved in being an ICMC ambassador is mainly communicative - in other words, you can direct questions or suggestions for the conference to me, either by contacting me by email (see the letter icon above for contact info) or by posting on this site.
I would especially be interested in hearing from musicians outside of the academic circles, and younger musicians working with computers in the context of improvisation. But obviously, anybody is more than welcome to get in touch with me regarding ICMC (or otherwise...). So, please spread the word and check out the following sites:
