This thesis discusses a series of compositions created over the past year that combine the use of external data with intuitive aesthetic decisions. I begin with a brief chapter that draws out connections between recent projects by placing them in historical context. In each composition, I bring non-musical information into the creation cycle as novel stimuli, placing myself both in charge and in service of this material. I ask how different representations of data can generate new music and what my role as composer might be. I assess several compositional strategies characterized by the act of transformation. First, a series of pieces entitled Heard incorporate various transcription strategies into the creative process. Next, I present a compositional method which passes digital data through a variety of file formats, audifying the data at each step. Following this, I use MP3 compression to develop musical material and explore the potential of this format as an aesthetic object. Finally, I review all of the compositions and highlight common ideas. Through transcription, reformatting data, and digital compression, each composition makes use of the artifacts of its particular transformation as musical material.
