Composition
Many of Sandred’s compositions are the result of his search for new methods of composition. These methods use computerized rule-based systems (a sub-branch of artificial intelligence) to formalize the musical structure.
In 2009 the CD Cracks and Corrosion, featuring five of Sandred’s compositions, was released on the Navona Records label.
