This is great news – looking forward to seeing it develop.
Some question emerged to me immediately;
-- how the context of Algorithmic Music sits with Computer-Music, Sonic Art, etc?
I'd recommend adding Wishart to your list of opening references (in particular On Sonic Art).
-- it feels like there's some great re-working of ontologies to be done too?
For example, you say "especially by computer" in your definition – if I use mathematics in my compositions, does it become "algorithmic" at the point of codification, or earlier (what if it's only in my thinking)? Does it need to/should it be "live/realtime/dynamic" or can I pre-render? Do I have to be able to demonstrate the existence of an algorithm? What if the algorithm is derived from the music, instead of being its creator?
-- how much has the work on livecoding (explicitly where the code is visible) impacted the audience experience / causality-gap that can be a challenge in acousmatic music?
... so many questions! :)
