My research shows that creative activity is most importantly directed by how interested and involved a person is during the creative experience. It has also revealed, on closer examination, particular ways in which this experience …
Through the work Slice-Flower Andrew Soresne and Andrew R. Brown (aka: aa-cell) explore the aesthetic potential of computational expression. The work is part of a series that explore the potential of algorithms that occupy 10 …
ActivePixels is an application designed by Andrew R. Brown and Daniel Mafe, and programmed by Brown. It uses generative processes based on cellular automata-like rules relating to colours in a grid formation. Building on a …
Binary Beats is a probabilistic drum machine I wrote so to produce variable drum beats with some musical sense. Its quite amazing how prominent powers of two (binary) numbers are in music with a simple …
The Unscrambler is an interactive generative art work that was used displayed in the Ian Potter Gallery, National Gallery of Victoria (NGV), as an activity within the Scoot location-based game in Melbourne, Australia, from Sept …
The ScreenPlay and Journey One series of animated computational arts work by Daniel Mafe and Andrew R. Brown were exhibited at The Block, in Brisbane, Australia in 2005. ScreenPlay consists of real-time digital animation/sound screen …
The works in World are real-time digital generative animated screen works. These works are the latest results of a collaboration of almost 4 years between Daniel Mafe and Andrew Brown. Together Daniel and Andrew have …
With Andrew Sorensen, I’ve been part of the live coding duo aa-cell since 2005. In live coding, musical algorithms are coded and edited during the performance. Typically, the laptop screens are projected so the audience …
The Interactive Dynamic Stochastic Synthesizer (IDSS) is an instrument that uses stochastic synthesis. It extends the original dynamic stochastic synthesis process devised by Iannis Xenakis and provides an effective interface for interaction. The IDSS was …
The concepts and terms currently applied to discussions of algorithmic music are varied and, especially for new comers, often confusing. For example, consider the term “generative music”, which is used with different meanings by various …
The methods of digital instrument building and the ways these enable creative expression are interests of mine. In 2003 with assistance of a grant from the Australia Council for the Arts and the efforts of …
The Phasing exhibition was held in the QUT Art Musem, Brisbane, Australia. It was the first public exhibition of the collaboration of Daniel Mafe and Andrew R. Brown in the development of their ActivePixels software. …
This generative music application allows the user to compose music made up of cyclic patterns. Musical attributes can be treated separately and cycled in or out of phase. A number of parts can be overlaid …
jMusic is a project designed to provide composers and software developers with a library of compositional and audio processing tools. It provides a solid framework for computer-assisted composition in Java™, and is also used for …
