STRIA, BY JOHN CHOWNING: ANALYSIS OF THE COMPOSITIONAL PROCESS

Stria is a piece fully generated by the computer, with the creation of all the parameters needed to play each sound, starting by a certain number of input sessions, elaborated by algorithms. This paper contains the partial synthesis of the analysis of this piece; the analysis was conducted starting from the original algorithms, the listening of the piece and a few literature documentation. Direct communication with J. Chowning was important too.
