A Brief Analysis Of Applying Random Factors In Creating Electronic Music

This thesis is a research of random elements in the application of interactive electronic music.The first half is from the perspective of how performers involved into the creating of work,to the phenomenon of random elements in music;the second half mainly focus on the analysis of random elements in an electronic music piece “Enhanced Phenotype”,created by Mr.& Mrs.Se-lien Chuang.Some of the analysis results also been applied into writer's graduation portfolio.This thesis is composed of Abstract,Two chapters,Conclusion and Three appendixes.The abstract is composed of two parts.Chapter one is divided into two sections.Section one is about the random elements in music,from the perspective of how performers involved into the creating of work,and the using of random elements in creating music pieces –MUSIC DICE GAME.Section two is about the random elements in electronic music,from the perspective of the plasticity of digitized sound,and the design of random elements in creating.Chapter two is intensively close to chapter one,divided into four sections.Section one is the introduction of composers and their works,divided into 4 major perspectives,they are the bio of the composer,instrumental elements of the work,how the work achieve on stage and the audio analysis of the work;Section two is a deconstruction of the random elements in the work,divided into two perspectives,they are the categories of the score design,and the connections between scores;Section three is about the how random elements effect audio achieve in work,divided into three perspectives,they are the brief introduction of program design,random pattern of images and the random elements in audio program processing;Section four is about the random elements in the achieve of in visualized interactive,mainly analysis the random elements in visual program.Conclusion comes to the random elements has become a key structure of modern electronic music.Under this structure,there is countless sub-random elements controlling all the data of music,gathering them together,they could provide much more maneuverability,as well as enhanced emotions to not only the audience,but also the performers the composers.This has become not only the trend of modern electronic music development,but also provide a more open music platform.
