Special Guest: William WinantJosh Mitchell: Master's Recital
Date:Sun, 05/26/2024 - 7:30pm - 9:00pmLocation:CCRMA StageEvent Type:ConcertIn the broader context of the English language, to bifurcate is simply to split into multiple parts or branches. In the specific context of nonlinear dynamics and chaos theory, however, a bifurcation is what happens when a very small, smooth shift in one parameter of a system causes it to abruptly change how it acts. Many interesting things can happen at these bifurcation points, including surprising and beautiful transitions between order and chaos. When presented in a musical context, these systems offer many creative ways to explore the many ways we encounter changes over time in the world around us.
