A few short tests I ran demonstrated that while very interesting and dynamic effects can be achieved from the television, and that there are rules relating to amplitude, waveform and frequency, there is no sure fire way to predict the effects that the combination of all these factors will have. In order to work in an efficient manner I needed a way in which I could immediately see the effect of the music I was composing, especially because in this piece I am composing a light piece which uses music as a tool in is process. To achieve these aims I decided to insert a Television into the composition process, as well as the technical set up which I will be composing within, allowing me to immediately see the effect that my efforts would have on the static of the television. In this way I hope to make my composition process much more fluid, rather than composing, and then testing on the TV, and then composing again, the piece will evolve in a more logical fashion. Of course I must keep in mind the fact that I am composing for more than one Television (minimum six), however it would be impractical to attempt to include six tvs in my small home set-up so hopefully by keeping a detailed composition logbook I will be able to compose Music for all of the TV’s.
Now all I need to do is amass a large collection of TVs and start composing the piece.
