Music with information?
2010 October 19
Music certainly has the ability to affect the listener, but can the reaction be controlled? Can music even contain information or a message to the listener? Even if we agree that (instrumental) music don't normally contain information, is it possible in some way to create music that does? Can music contain a code that can be decoded by the listener? For the moment I just state these questions. I will go back to them later. Feel free to supply thoughts and answers via the comments.

Here I publish information of the music I've written. I also blog about my projects and thoughts about music in general.
I am a contemporary classical composer and compose music for classical musicians, but as you can see from my worklist I've also done other things - including live electronics, electroacoustic music (eam) and music for other types of ensembles (e.g. a jazz trio).
My works have been performed globally, including Europe, Asia and North America.
