Art comes into being in its final forms by virtue of the efforts of the artist, and these labors include applications of abstract ideas as well as choices and actions regarding manipulation of media.
Theories multiply as artists and composers investigate and analyze, experiment and evaluate. Ideas behind successful experiments are incorporated into works, and failures set aside, but not forgotten in refining the creative process.
Ideas, concepts, and theories abound, but the artist in search of unique expression weighs, balances, measures, tests, and synthesizes these to suit intended outcomes. The work embodies the elements the artist designs and produces the total effect the artist envisions, and at times inspires new concepts and applications as a consequence.
From the perspective that sound is a medium for producing artistic works, it follows that theoretical constructs are of value as technical and aesthetic principles in the execution of such works. A clear and critical view of connections that may be explored in aleatoric, generative, and emergent music, for example, provides insight into ways and means of originating cogent ideas and methods for developing them as well as new designs in sound.
The final goal of these fundamental ideas and processes, as interesting as they may be, is a finished work of art in sound that is pleasing to the listener and interesting in and of itself.
