  Permutation (music) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In music a permutation of a set is a transformation of its prime form by applying zero or more of certain operations, specifically transposition, inversion, and retrograde.
The permutations resulting from applying the inversion or retrograde operations are categorized as the prime form's inversions and retrogrades, respectively.
In that regard, a musical permutation is a combinatorial permutation from mathematics as it applies to music.

His head-nod is infected with hip-hop beats, his mind reels with jungle's accelerated breaks, and he strides to a sampledelic bebop swing; yet Tobin's musical soul is also saturated with the sounds of his Brazilian heritage.
The most perfect moments on PERMUTATION, his second full-length album, happen in the fusion of modern rhythms and styles with the Carnival drums of the Bahia region or with the Bossa Nova pop sounds that have been Rio's musical calling cards since the early '60s.
Permutations is very accessible and since hearing it loads (well a few!) of friends have bought it for whom Tobin is not a typical music taste.

In the mathematical sense, "permutation" is a process in which an array of numbers is arranged in all of its possible subsets.
Permutation is, in short, a sure way to achieve the goal of saturating a composition with motive without textural redundancy.
And, if there are four clockwise permutations of the p-form of the year, then there are, likewise, four COUNTERCLOCKWISE rotations of the i-form of the year, for a total of eight permutations, all more-or-less dictated by which direction the earth orbits the sun...forward or backward.

 The Commutator Music Page   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-07-22)
Commutator Music is music that implements in some way or another this idea: Do A, Do B, Undo A, Undo B. That is, you musically do a first thing, A, and then a second thing, B. Following this, you undo the first thing, and then undo the second thing.
Being interested in music and aware that composers sometimes use mathematical structures as compositional tools, I wondered one day if there were any musical possibilities for using commutators as a compositional tool.
Music of a very elemental sort was already a associated with the puzzles because of the sounds that are build in to provide aural feedback about what moves you have made.

Permutation has a great deal more gravity than the graceful but somewhat undernourished Ekstasis album, Wake Up and Dream, which is something of a predecessor.
Permutation takes some chances here and there, notably "Iron Black," a fuzzy, riff- powered space- rock tune which divides its time between Chemical Brothers- style big beat and the lysergic jams of Funkadelic.

 Books.MusicaBona.Com | Cherlin Gregory L., Hrushovski Ehud: Finite Structures with Few Types. (Am-152)
This book applies model theoretic methods to the study of certain finite permutation groups, the automorphism groups of structures for a fixed finite language with a bounded number of orbits on 4-tuples.
Primitive permutation groups of this type have been classified by Kantor, Liebeck, and Macpherson, using the classification of the finite simple groups.
The principal results are finite theorems, an associated analysis of computational issues, and an "intrinsic" characterization of the permutation groups (or finite structures) under consideration.

 Ink 19 :: Amon Tobin
Amon Tobin's music is the sort of unclassifiable work that often acquires the bland "electronica" label because of its daring eclecticism.
Yet the "organic" feel that Tobin manages to achieve in his soundscapes divorces his music from danceable club fodder.
Permutation showcases the work of a musician who has truly seized the means of sonic production and infused them with his own creative energy.

It's easier in notes than in words, but permutation is one of the ways in which time-based art can create variety within stasis, tickling the senses while maintaining a sense of centeredness.
I'm not sure when I learned she was a composer, but I associated her with pleasant music of note permutations—music with all the intricacy and charm of, and as little ambition as, a homemade quilt.
The great thing about this joint concert by the Downtown Ensemble and Gamelan Son of Lion was that it paid homage to that early phase of her music but then showed surprising directions she's gone in since.

 Amon Tobin - Biography - AOL Music
Unlike rolling junglists such as Alex Reece and Wax Doctor, however, who draw from a softer, "cooler" brand of jazz, Tobin aims to maintain the heat of bop and free jazz, pairing spry, galloping bass lines with complex trapset orchestration and shrill, screaming horns.
A native of Brazil, Tobin moved to the U.K. in the mid-'80s, when hip-hop was beginning to take hold and the rhythms of breakbeat electro-funk were replacing reggae and punk as the underground youth music of choice.
A live performance was recorded for the Solid Steel series and released in 2004, and Tobin reached his highest profile when he recorded the soundtrack to a Tom Clancy video game, Splinter Cell 3.

While the great majority of jazz-junglists look no farther back than the mid-'60s for inspiration (and samples), Tobin took his bag of tricks back into the swing era to come up with more (and more interesting) variations on the form than most anyone else.
More Buddy Rich than Roy Ayers, Permutation sees leagues of different drum samples -- all of them found sounds-- with nary an Amen or Apache break in sight.
As the title suggests, Permutation is an incredibly varied ride.

Usually, but not always, the individual voices in Polansky's canons are permutation lists of a small number of musical elements (e.g., four or five or six elements), which may include any and/or all of a voice's parameters (pitch, rhythm, instrumentation, etc.).
Polansky's writings on computer music, music theory, and visionary and iconoclastic American composers, including Ruth Crawford Seeger (on whose work he is a noted expert), have appeared in numerous publications.
Her festival performances include the Ought-One Festival of Non-Pop, the Norfolk Chamber Music Festival, the BONK Festival for New Music, the Dartmouth New Music Festival, the Bowdoin Music Festival, the Boston Microtonal Society, the IX International Festival of Electro-acoustic Music in Cuba, and the SoundArt Festival in Germany.

This one, Permutation, has stood the test of time for me because I picked this one up around when it came out and after about 5 or 6 years, I can still pop it in and it sounds pretty fresh.
Having said that, "Permutation" is a different beast than his debut album.
This album is 70 minutes of non-stop brilliant sample cut-ups and melodies hidden underneath jerky drum-n-bass programming, a trip that takes you throughout endless permutations (sorry) of sound and space, and ends with "Nova", as close to a perfect chill song as any written.

 Blogcritics.org: Classic Album Review: Amon Tobin - Permutation
Amon Tobin's Permutation is an incredible fusion of jazz and natural-sounding electronica; it's a surprisingly seemless pairing that sees the two square off in what sounds like the dark, shady alleyways of a 1950s detective story.
Representative of the overall effect of the exhilarating bricolage of samples on this album, there's something about "Sordid" that conjures up the image of Laurence of Arabia crossing the desert on the back of a camel, as are there hints everywhere of music suitable for a scene straight from Star Wars' Mos Eisley Cantina.
From the squawking horns of Dizzie Gallespie, or sounds like that from an old Warner Bros. cartoon, a brilliant, mysterious catalogue of music is being executed to full effect in what has to be a landmark album in electronica.
