Mapping The Valleys of The Uncanny : An investigation into a process and method, colliding with questions relating to what can be known to be real, within the field of algorithmic composition. Or if you prefer: The roles of instrumentation and timbre, as they unwittingly conspire to designate access, power, status, work and ultimately class.
We are free, from the shackles of the finite, and of the physical world. Sound now enjoys morphological freedom through a myriad of transformations. It is malleable to the utmost degree. We have at our disposal an astounding plethora of tools, with which we can manipulate and organise sound. This th...

This thesis project is a collection of musical materials that explore the idea of The Uncanny Valley, as it relates to music being real, fake or some strange combination of the two.
