Description:

Part one. This research will illustrate a musical analysis system where the formal design of a composition is described in terms of the algorithmic and manual compositional strategies. The goal is an analysis that describes the perception of the work from the perspective of discovering algorithmic patterns and manual anomalies. The composition Never, by Curtis Roads, is analyzed in detail to exemplify this analysis system and provide a thorough consideration of the work.

Part two. A portfolio of Compositions.
