Chun Lee is a musician/composer from Taipei, Taiwan who now lives and 
works in London. Initially trained as a classical musician, he became 
increasingly fascinated by the technological and experimental aspect of 
contemporary music. He now focuses his compositional practice on 
algorithmic/generative music using software tools such as Pd. In addition 
to his compositional practice, he is also working towards his doctoral 
degree in Electronic Arts at Middlesex University.

Chun Lee has presented his works in both the UK and Europe and has also 
worked in collaboration with other digital arts practitioners from 
various disciplines.

I am particularly drawn to the concept of artworks that have no 
predetermined structure or appearance. In other words, works of art 
which are in constant evolution, like everything else in the world. 
Evolution, both physical and conceptual, is often driven by simple 
rules; when executed, transformation can take place and produce complex 
results. Such rules of transformation may be seen as methods of 
navigating through the immense search space of a given problem domain. 
For me, these transformational rules become the tools of composition, 
and the performances are thus journeys throughout the sonic space. The 
aesthetic satisfaction is no longer the expression of personal emotions 
and sentiments; it is instead the mastery over conceptual systems that 
reflects the fundamental dualities of all things, such as freedom and 
constraints, emergence and divergence.

PD (aka Pure Data) is a real-time graphical programming environment for 
audio, video, and graphical processing. It is the third major branch of 
the family of patcher programming languages known as Max (Max/FTS, ISPW 
Max, Max/MSP, jMax, etc.) originally developed by Miller Puckette and 
company at IRCAM. The core of Pd is written and maintained by Miller 
Puckette and includes the work of many developers, making the whole 
package very much a community effort.

Pd was created to explore ideas of how to further refine the Max 
paradigm with the core ideas of allowing data to be treated in a more 
open-ended way and opening it up to applications outside of audio and 
MIDI, such as graphics and video.

Pd is free software and can be downloaded either as an OS-specific 
package, source package, or directly from CVS. Pd was written to be 
multi-platform and therefore is quite portable; versions exist for 
Win32, IRIX, GNU/Linux, BSD, and MacOS X running on anything from a 
PocketPC to an old Mac to a brand new PC. It is possible to write 
externals and patches that work with Max/MSP and Pd using flext and 
cyclone.

well, I am no rock star yet but a little acknowledgment to say thanks 
for people who helped me;) I like to thank everyone in my life for 
making me who I am, especially my mom, dad, brother and Inna, 
lecturers in Middlesex University for supporting my research, and all my 
friends for being such wonderful company over the years.
