Edward Zajec point of departure is the use of the computer in real time, and a different algorithmic or rule-based approach. ORPHICS 1992-2000 This composition, based on Maurice Ravel's Sonatine, is the first work that translates a musical composition into its visual counterpart, not with arbitrarily set free-form or mathematical themes, but according to predefined rules for the reading of musical scores. By establishing a biunivocal correspondence of units in time to units in space, the action unfolds by maintaining a space rather than by following a trajectory.
