Overhearing Complexity computer generated

Toronto, 6/2006
 
The composition is generated by NKM system in Mathematica. It presents a sonification of most of the Stephen Wolfram “elementary rules”, each only 30’’ long. The elementary rules are grouped into classes of complexity. The piece begins with the class 1 and, following the increase of complexity, progresses through classes 2 and 3 until reaches the universally complex, class 4.
