<br>The fifth episode in the series continues to explore the idea of time in
music practice, particularly in relation to duration. The show looks at
how music is measured in terms of both micro and macroscopic intervals:
through granular synthesis, where sound is constructed from microscopic
sonic 'grains', to extended works whose duration is measured not in
minutes and seconds, but years. Bringing together ideas and theories of
the engineer Denis Gabor and composers Iannis Xenakis and Curtis Roads,
this episode examines early tape and computer music works using granular
and pulsar synthesis. The show closes with a focus on two recent
