made with CHDH EGREGORE SOURCE software
Jacques Attali famously predicted this incipient era in music in 1977 in a classic
text hybridising theory, culture, and government policy, Noise: A Political
Economy of Music. After three phases of Ritual Sacrifice (Church music),
Représentation (scores and stage performance), Répétition (recorded media),
Attali forecasts a fourth phase called Composition, where music becomes
process and recovers its ritual magic. chdh, with egregore, have composed a
nonlinear, participative, networked instrument as a published release. By
transmitting their source code, the music is distributed as a Baudrillardian model,
ready to be rendered and re-composed by the beholder, finishing an unfinishable
process, closing the loop between representation, repetition, composition, and
ritual.!
