Programming Machines and People: Techniques for Live Improvisation with Electronics
Chapman Welch · Leonardo Music Journal · 2010
Many performers of new music do not come from an improvising tradition, and the addition of live electronics to works written for these performers may be intimidating due to their inexperience with improvising and/or working with technology. Although inexperience may be a problem, it can be overcome. The author describes techniques and strategies for creating rule-based improvisation environments with live electronics.
