In what ways can music exhibit processes analogues to biological ones?
I'm interested in where the analogy works as well as where it breaks down.
I've been reading Lem's 'The Invicible' and I'm absolutely obsessed with the idea of necroevolution now.
Like, you know when you make generative music and you set the constraints and let emergent interactions arise? I've been wondering how music itself was choosing the selection of constraints. Trying to think of a really weird non-biological acoustic entity that violates ontology just by existing.

Pleased to receive the electronic form of my contributor copy of the 2026 Dwarf Stars #anthology yesterday. My poem, "raging storm", which was originally published in Star*Line 48.4, appears in it. The print copy will soon follow.
All poets whose poems were selected for the anthology are finalists in the Dwarf Star #award, which recognises the best #speculative #poem published in 2025. The winner will be announced in October. Two other poems of mine were finalists in 2021 & 2023, respectively.
