Phasing is a technique used in minimalist music for creating beautiful shifting textures from a single melodic line. Works of minimalist composers such as Steve Reich’s Piano Phase, Clapping Music, and Phase Patterns extensively use this technique
In this workshop we are going to explore how to use Max/MSP for algorithmic composition and apply minimalist phasing techniques to create generative music
