Engendering the material

  • Material out of use, out of time
  • Hierarchy of beginning, of principle, of begetting
  • Functions, to be defined, of generation and subsequent use
  • Material specificity: continuous/discontinuous, perceptible absolutely/relatively (intervals, durations, timbres, dynamics)

Grids for realization (use)

  • monody, Polyphony: Elementary categories
  • Heterophony, Antiphony: Subsidiary categories, involving the preceding ones

Methods of use

  • Initial or Combinatorics state
    • Compressions, Extensions, Reversals, Structural modifications
    • Transformations
    • Self-generating systems
    • Sound/Silence
  • Combinatorics proper
    • Interference of various cycles
    • Interpolations
    • Filters and Screens
    • Influence of one structure on another
