^muzicode$: composing and performing musical codes (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Greenhalgh, C., Benford, S., & Hazzard, A. (2016). ^muzicode$: composing and performing musical codes.

We present muzicodes, an approach to incorporating machine-readable ‘codes’ into music that allows the performer and/or composer to flexibly define what constitutes a code, and to perform around it. These codes can then act as triggers, for example t... Read More about ^muzicode$: composing and performing musical codes.
