Making Musical Mates: Adventures in interactive algorithmic performance.

Much of my creative work involves the design and use of algorithmic music systems that facilitate a close creative partnership. But what does it mean to design and construct such instruments, to make an interactive music system with a sense of creative agency that evokes a rich sense of creative interplay? In this presentation I will discuss some of the issues that arise for me in this activity; from both a conceptual perspective and in the design, making and playing of original interactive musical systems and devices.
