Marko Ciciliani is Professor for Computer-Music Composition at the Institute for Electronic Music and Acoustics (IEM) of the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz, and in 2014 and 2016 he was an instructor at the acclaimed International Summer Courses for Contemporary Music in Darmstadt. Pop Wall Alphabet consists of 26 parts that comprise more than 4.5 hours of sound compositions, 26 algorithmically generated texts and 26 images. Each of the 26 sections deals with one particular album from pop history from the past almost 50 years. The first letter of the name of the band or singer stands for a letter in the alphabet, together the 26 sections are forming the entire English alphabet: Abba for letter A, Beastie Boys for the letter B, Chemical Brothers for the letter C and so on.
