October 1990

This series of pieces started off being called “The New Pointillism” and evolved into “Horn Pointillism” to “Still Some Kind of Pointillism” (aka “Some Pointillism”) to various versions of “Post-Pointillism” to “I Heard a Thousand Blended Notes”. All these related but differently sounding pieces result from different inputs to the same computer program and with different types of signal processing. The program randomly selects notes from Max Meyer’s scale of twenty-nine just-intoned pitches to the octave, and puts them into a randomly fluctuating buffer. Note-playing processes running at different tempi pick notes from the buffer and play them. Some pitches persist in the buffer longer than others, resulting in randomly appearing tonal centers.
