This paper shows how a significant portion of the first move- ment of Ge ́rard Grisey’s Vortex Temporum can be imple- mented using a subset of the cage package for Max, aimed at representing and rendering meta-scores, i.e., musical scores whose notes or chords represent complex processes, rather than simple musical items. We shall also attempt a solid definition of meta-score, and describe the rationale and workings of the cage.meta system.
