Abstract

The paper addresses composition processes with computational resources related to machine listening and listening with machines in ‘nós, passarinho’ (2023), for flute and real-time electronics. Technical, conceptual, and contextual aspects of the creative process and related research are explored, involving the development of algorithms, audio analysis and processing techniques, musical writing processes associated with algorithmic resources, and the use of interactive music systems. The first section contextualizes the creative process, addressing poetic aspects, the general subject, techniques, and researches related to the composition. In the second section, some tools and techniques developed and applied during the creative process related to machine listening are described. The concept of ‘inscription’ is addressed in the third section being applied to discuss the piece. The fourth section addresses general aspects of compositional writing, taking into account contingencies and creative strategies. Finally, the text raises questions related to ongoing research and the developments that the creative process of the piece has opened up for new artistic and investigative projects.
