FieldsOS by William Fields
"Some of the most mind-blowing algorithmically generated music I'd ever heard"
— Richard Devine
"HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION: William Fields is at the absolute front of algorithmic music and this tremendous 24 hour collection is some of the wildest stuff out there... TOP NOTCH"
— Telefon Tel Aviv
FieldsOS was broadcast as a weekly radio show on Resonance Extra during the first half of 2019.
Each episode is focused on a different genre, algorithm, or approach.
FieldsOS is 100% algorithmic music. The probabilities, conditions, and constraints were configured in advance. The output was recorded and this is the result. No curation or editing was done.
Thank you to Peter Lanceley and everyone at Resonance Extra for the opportunity.
