Abstract
This article investigates the role of the voice in computer music. One of the overarching themes of the complete book is the level of autonomy afforded to musicians and artists in building computer models and interfaces for human musical composition, experimentation and performance. Whilst this is a technological advance, it is also philosophical. In creating models based on complex biological systems we broaden our understanding not only of the world and our experience of it but also unlock levels of complexity and the “ability to compose autonomous artificial universes that generate original aesthetic experiences”.
