Music Theorist and Composer Joins Arkansas Tech University's Faculty as Visiting Lecturer of Music
Paper Published by Cybernetics & Human Knowing!
Another paper of mine entitled “The Destabilizing Cybernetics of Implausibility: The Anti-Anthropocentric Crisis” was published this month in Cybernetics & Human Knowing 26, nos. 2-3: 169-190. In it, I use an analysis of my own creative process to formulate the hypothesis that a feedback loop connects the music composer, the composition, and its percipients, moving them gradually away from humanocentricism.
