P-197 from Cubic Limit II (1976 – 1978)

I have recently found myself delving (yet again) to non-musical related areas for inspiration to develop new sound forms/structures of my own. The arbitrariness of the endless possibilities the computer lends an artist for the production and mutation of sound, is at times, obstructive in achieving a definite result or should I say ‘outcome?’ There is an overwhelming array of software and sound tools on offer and with no definite system, working with sound and its abstraction can become a purely subjective affair.

The computer generated algorithmic geometry of Manfred Mohr is a compelling example of self implied sets of rules producing an abundance of new forms, all related to an original structure.  Incidentally, Mohr was encouraged to program his first computer drawings in 1969 by the computer music composer Pierre Barbaud whom he met in 1967…

I would imagine French philosopher Quentin Meillassoux to appreciate the refined mathematical purism of Mohr’s art.  So, as a side note; this Urbanomic event looks rather interesting.  I shall be in firm attendance, breathing in deeply the new philosophy and expounding it as a neat algorithm, ideal!
