Paul Lansky Computer Music

For this blog assignment, we had to listen to pieces of music composed by Paul Lansky. I chose to listen to his work entitled "Idle Chatter." It sounds like a synthesis of randomly assorted sounds at the beginning. However, once you delve deeper into his piece, the beat become quite apparent. There are repeating sounds at different points throughout the song and there is a set pattern, not just randomly generated noises. It sounded quite futuristic at times as well, because the tone of the voices changed about halfway through the piece. The sounds pitches increased as well, and actually I was somewhat frightened because the noises being produced were pretty creepy. Its interesting to see how computers can generate these different types of music, but I dont think I will be listening to this genre on my free time any time soon.
