Name: Lines of Disarray - (pre-master version) by SohrabMotabar
Duration: 12 min 4 s
Description: This piece is composed according to logistic maps from which I derive the sonic materials, the starting points, and the durations of the events. A logistic map is an archetypal example of how complex or chaotic behavior can arise from very simple non-linear (dynamical) equations.

sorry if it is not suitable for listening with Headphone !

Blocking Behaviours concerns the real-time interpretation of two simulations of complex behaviour through an agent-based system. The simulations enforce a way of thinking that revolves around balancing behaviours. An attitude that considers musical output as something that emerges from an interaction with an autonomous system.

The simulation acts as a generative, rule-based system producing output that is subject to different kinds of observation algorithms. The idea is that evolving processes are set in motion where the creator/composer becomes an observer of various developments. The output can not always be controlled in detail but is instead interpreted and further processed. The interpretation involves a mapping between different modes of representation in order to simplify or combine. In Blocking Behaviours the idea is to explore the boundary of generative behaviour, control and and direct access to computer sound synthesis.

Blocking Behaviours premiered during the ICLC (International Conference on Live Coding) in April 2023.

Sohrab Motabar (1984) is a composer from Tehran. With regards to states of suspension and dazzled motion his music resonates like a maze for the listener. He composes with algorithms, chaotic functions and non-standard synthesized sounds as a way to give rise to obscured dimensions and experimental modes of perceiving and listening. In 2018, Motabar graduated from the Institute of Sonology. In addition to this study he also actively collaborates in select projects with other artists and musicians.
