Summary

Literary Nonfiction. Music. Multimedia. Limited Edition with CD. Can language be evolved from randomness? Can fire listen and respond to melody? Do you need an surf band to make surf music? Composer Joel Mellin explores questions like these. Since leaving his job as a NASA satellite engineer, he's used computers to create innovative digital music systems with Genetic Algorithms & sonar-based instrument controllers, taking computer music beyond simple loop-making. His works have been heard at Dublin Dance Festival and notable NY venues such as the Kitchen and the Feldman Gallery. This full-color book with companion CD is more a chronicle of a dream than an academic tome, pairing stream-of-conscious abstracts with dreamlike images by award-winning photographer John Soares. Includes introduction by Holly Faurot and Sarah H. Paulson, commentary by Dr. Hans Foote, discography of Mellin's work, and details of original performances.
