| Description | This article deals with the transformation of compositional methods and competences which took place at the beginning of the 1980s, concurrently with the boom in technological development. It focuses on the field of artificial music and the sonic arts, in which tools of “computer assisted composition” are used. It follows the use of “models” in the form of “exemplary structures” which the composer imitates and uses as a template for creating structural relations in their own composition. This imitation is then compared to the act of mimesis. The ending points to the fact that the compositional methods in question create a new paradigm, which no longer corresponds to the traditional meaning of the word “composition” and is based on principles of editing. |
