ELECTRONIC MUSIC:
THE ROSENBERG ALGORITHM
I'm interested in rhythmic intricacy, mesmeric loops, random processes and micro-tonal and non-Western tuning systems. Using Max/MSP, I've created a patch, which goes by the name The Rosenberg Algorithm, that will one day be entirely autonomous. I often use random processes in my music, with the help of Random.org. I choose track titles with inspiration from Random Word Haiku. I've begun to use the Internet Archive to host my audio files. Email praise only to Mick Sussman.

The elastic phrase studies: multiple phrases evolve, altering their lengths slightly at each repetition, creating a tempo-less, meter-less shifting sensation. I also began a method of sampling small slivers of sound and then pitch-shifting them to create micro-tonal, non-Western and experimental tunings.
