Prof Simon Emmerson discusses his use of analogue electronics and MaxMSP in his lecture Live Electronics: From expressive aim to musical act at CeReNeMs Creative Coding Lab

I have always composed with electronics - mostly live electronics. For me the technology is a means to help express something - in fact a range of things. My technique has evolved slowly in an interactive relationship both with new ideas that the developing technology suggests as well as with the performer and performance practice. I will focus on some key works of the last 10 years - and try to show how the musical aims are mapped to the score and electronic coding processes in composition. That is, how does my expressive aim become a musical act?
