Abstract Details

2011, DMA, University of Cincinnati, College-Conservatory of Music: Composition.
The use of digital audio artifacts, intrinsic elements of some digital signal processes and once considered unwanted byproducts of the composition process, provide computer music composers with a rich palette of sounds. This document will detail the author's own explorations within this aesthetic, resulting in the fixed-format work kernel_panic. Approaches to the creation of digital audio artifacts will be discussed in detail. Pertinent figures and source code will be included, aiding in the descriptions of software and generative audio algorithms utilized for source material in the music. Moreover, discussions relating to the aesthetics of working with digital audio artifacts as a creative means will be explored, demonstrating the inevitability of these elements in modern computer music.
