In simple terms, where to start? Musically and theoretically.
Currently I'm in the middle of developing a software application on multi-linear and chance storytelling. My research started in literature with Joyce, Hayles, Rosenblatt, Derrida, etc. but more and more I'm coming across bits of Cage's writing, pieces by Riley (In C), etc.. Not having a background in critical theory or music (just a good ole B.Sc) I'm wondering what musicians, pieces and texts I should look out for? I'm not focused on randomness or indeterminacy but music (to quote wikipedia) "that gives the performer certain liberties with regard to the sequencing and repetition of parts."
And while I'm here, if anyone has seen these concepts in theatre, that would be a bonus.
