Laurie Spiegel is an artist & composer, creating software tools to make music. I found her music through this album which she composed at Bell Labs in the 70s. Cue it up and e x p a n d 😌
I love the aspect of making creative tools to make creative things. Here, Spiegel programs processes to inform her compositions. And the results are aesthetically wonderful.
