Episode eight in the series continues to look at how composers working with generative systems implement change in their works. This episode focuses on models of change using mathematical structures derived from complex dynamic systems observed in nature. Through advances in mathematics, physics and biology, the programme looks at how composers have utilised the central findings of chaos theory and emergent systems – such as cellular automata, Lindenmeyer Systems and fractal geometry – to generate automated dynamic patterns of change.

As always equal parts completely bewildering as it is enlightening! Highlight for me was probably Iannis Xenakis's 'Horos' as the others are a little too academic for me, though the opening track did remind me of the nostalgic feeling of trying to get Spectrum tapes loading.

Thanks for the feedback. Very much appreciated!

The opening track was interesting to watch on the spectrum analyser, as it degenerates and bifurcates....
