	Process music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Process music or systems music is music which arises from a process, and more specifically, music which makes that process audible.
		Michael Nyman has described how the generally minimalistic tonal music associated with process music arose from the influence of and reaction against process based music of extreme determinism or indeterminism using serial, aleatoric, and stochastic methods.
		Within the field of popular music, process music made its strongest early appearance in the ambient works of Brian Eno, notably his first foray into the genre, Discreet Music.

	Pendulum Music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pendulum Music is the name of a work by Steve Reich, involving suspended microphones and speakers, creating phasing feedback tones.
		The music created is then the result of the process of the swinging microphones.
		Reich specifies the piece should continue until all the microphones are at rest over the speakers, each emitting a continuous tone.

		Miles says this is due in large part to their form and to the musical theory underlying each.
		“Experimental music came about as an outgrowth of modernism, a movement in which the authority of tradition is weakened and undermined," he explained.
		Two other pieces on the program, Pendulum Music and Piano Phase, both composed by Steve Reich, also are essentially minimalist pieces by an experimental composer.

		But, it was soon apparent that this music was not of an enduring quality, and before long it became tiresome to the ear of the musician as well as that of the congregation.
		The symbolic use of musical instruments during the middle ages tends to becloud the issue, and direct conclusions to performance practice cannot be validly made from art-representations of angels holding instruments.
		But, unfortunately, in the field of church music the greatest stress was laid on the affective representation of individual words or phrases of the text, with the composer giving full reign to his personal emotions and the liturgical text being little more than an excuse for the expression of these feelings.

		GRANVILLE -- Faculty and student musicians from Denison University's music department will put their skills to work at a concert of avant garde compositions that are based in some part on the principal of chance.
		The music that plays during those times on those stations, however, is not controlled and so the "composition" is a "chance operation."
		The piece ends when the pendulums stop swinging, a chance that is determined by the length of the pendulums, their weight, the force of the initial pushes, and so forth.

		Pendulum Music is a classic example of Reich’s early process pieces – elegantly simple in its design, with an inevitable outcome, each performance is specifically unique and yet generally predictable.
		Schindler's musical compositions, evenly divided between purely acoustic works and those that include or feature computer music resources, have been performed by leading soloists and ensembles throughout North America and Europe, as well as in Asia, Australia and South America.
		Presentations of his electroacoustic music include concerts at the Seoul International Computer Music Festival, the Brazilian Symposium on Computer Music, the International Biennial for Electroacoustic Music of Sao Paulo, Keio University in Japan, the Florida Electroacoustic Music Festival, and several ICMC and SEAMUS conferences.

		Reich's music explores such ideas in contemporary music as using tape loops to create phasing patterns - amongst Reich's first works, It's Gonna Rain, Come Out, Drumming, and others, and using processes to create and explore concepts in music (Pendulum Music, Four Organs).
		He moved on to other musical processes such as augmentation (the temporal lengthening of phrases and melodic fragments).
		The piece is based around a cycle of eleven chords, then a small piece of music is based around each chord, then returning to the original cycle at the end.

	I want to find the music, not to compose it
		In the case of a symphony, the music is obviously fabricated by a human being, and is not something that one could ever simply find in nature, but in other music, and particularly in some recent music, this is not the case at all.
		Consider the Pendulum Music of Steve Reich, in which one simply lets a microphone swing over a loudspeaker, allowing periodic feedback sounds to be produced however they will.
		We were just there, letting the music do what it wanted to do, and I think the event might have been as effective in a prehistoric village as it was with this New York new music audience, and in fact, it was not so different from what birds and crickets do all the time.

		Pendulum Music is the true oddity here, separated into three iterations that each lasts around five minutes.
		The piece is written for dangling microphones that sway like pendulums over a speaker, eliciting feedback that sounds positively like a bass or contrabass clarinet.
		Then, with an effect of keeping your attention on the music, the pendulum music piece that follows is so much slower, with so much less embellishment.

	The Piano Forums at Piano World: The Swinging Pendulum of Music and Self
		One thing I have noticed when I play with a focus on musicality is that I'm kind of worrying about technical elements in the back of my mind and I develop a bit of tension.
		Music and emotions are so complex and so varied, I don't think any notation can begin to do more than function as a suggestive outline.
		I once read an interview on Zimerman, and he said that when he practises he only works on small segments alone, rarely playing through the whole piece (from this I assume that he was mostly working on technical aspects), and that through this he creates every piece anew for the first time on stage.

		Steve Reich began his career as a percussionist, and his music is marked by an almost overriding interest in rhythm.
		The result was a music in which repeating rhythmic ideas slowly go out of phase with each other, creating gradual change and increasing complexity.
		At the same time, it is different from its non-Western models, in that its function as concert music is the same as that of all Western music from the eighteenth century on.

		The intellectual discipline and intense musicality behind the exploration of these questions give his work a feeling of inexhaustilble and perpetual innovation.
		His music is performed frequently around the world, and such pieces as Music for 18 Musicians, Different Trains, Drumming and The Cave are recognized internationally as milestones of contemporary musical culture.

	Textura
		Krieger's second Walls of Sound release features five 1960s 'pattern music' works by seminal American composers Philip Glass, Steve Reich, and Terry Riley, all of whom were determined during that decade to break free of perceived musical 'dead ends' like Serialism.
		Given their pronounced conceptual focus, these earlier works are more 'academic' than the composers' more audience-friendly current material (Glass's symphonies, for example) yet Krieger's album provides a thoroughly engrossing listen and serves a valuable historical purpose in exposing important music of this era to new listeners.
		As with much of Glass's music during this period, the tempo and volume remain constant, making it a good example of what Krieger calls 'static music,' music whose slowly mutating patterns eschew conventional narrative or development.

		However, here we have some of the electronic music that matters, from rather uninspiring reworkings of the classics on theremin or moog to genuine experimental pieces involving sampling, tape manipulation, looping, sequencing, process music and concrete sounds.
		Everything about this package is brilliant - the music; the stories, history and theory behind the music and the cool looking case with funky circuitboard pictures, and highly detailed linear notes about and by the composers.
		Much of the material included did and still does push the very definition of what music is. The set comes with a booklet of extensive notes on each piece and an introduction by Brian Eno.

	The Stranger - Music - The Score - The Score
		Through incessant repetition and layering, Steve Reich's music of the 1960s and '70s transmutes urgent rhythmic riffs into emphatic melodic lines that reflect his early interest in John Coltrane, Igor Stravinsky, and West African drumming.
		Stocked with good stereo recordings of Reich's "hits" up to that time—Six Pianos, Violin Phase, and part four of Drumming—along with the lesser-known "Pendulum Music" and Music for Pieces of Wood, this disc crackles with the propulsive drive so essential to Reich's music.
		"Pendulum Music," a feedback piece that entails suspending a microphone over a speaker and releasing it to swing like a clock pendulum, sounds suitably feral.
