Roland Kayn's cybernetic music
 

Emiliano Pennisi: "The composition no longer unfolds linearly but behaves like a living system, capable of reacting, mutating, and reorganizing itself. Roland Kayn, through his idea of cybernetic music, had already intuited this decades ago: music as an emergent phenomenon of complex interactions, something that cannot be fully controlled but only set in motion. In this context, the composer becomes less an architect and more a facilitator, someone who prepares the conditions for the system to find its own equilibrium. Many musicians, when they truly approach generative logic, find themselves disoriented. They realize that it’s not about programming a result, but about witnessing a phenomenon."
