electronic music. In simple terms, the computer is given a
narrowed field of notes, durations, harmonies and the like
from the total spectrum of all possibilities. The composer
sets all of the musical ground rules, but then lets the
computer combine and "compose" the musical elements in
constantly varying ways according to stochastic, or controlled
randomness structures. </span><br style="font-family:

manipulations are carried out within the computer in digital
form. Each musical note, time duration or other parameter is
represented by a specific number in digital code. It is only
after the computer has finished its decision making process
and output its results digitally that the code is converted
into control voltages that an analog synthesizer can use. In
theory, a similar program could be used to direct synthesis. </span><br style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Nimbus

generate up to four-part harmonies on each run. Several passes
using different synthesizer voicings for each overdub were
used for these recordings. All sounds were generated by a
Sequential Circuits, Ind. Prophet 5 synthesizer controlled by
a PAIA 8700 6503-based microcomputer system via a specially
designed Synergy System interface. Recording was done
conventionally on an MCI one-inch eight-track recorder with
DBX noise reduction. Mixing was through an MCI board to a
Studer A80 two-track analog tape machine. All delays and echos
were digitally produced using a DeltaLab DL-2 and an EMT 251
