Technologies have been a constant in the development of musical composition and contemporary art, so it is obvious that new digital advances are incorporated into artistic and musical production. From conventional computations, more complex algorithms that favor artificial intelligence, to the use of biotechnologies and unconventional computations, composers and artists have used different tools to create works in keeping with the times and innovations in which we live. This essay has as starting point the study in which computational technologies (conventional and unconventional), artificial intelligence (AI) and biological technologies are incorporated into the field of musical composition from the use of probabilistic algorithms, autogenerative language and models of learning, as well as the insertion of biological technologies and living organisms to produce music or other hybrid art forms. The use of many of these artistic-technological-musical supports is, in fact, territory that musicians continue to explore, which is why it is intended to support research on this topic. The main aim is to open the discussion on how music makes technologies apparently foreign to it its own, as tools that contribute to artistic production, making them part of its poetics and discourse. In addition, the way in which life, nature and even the environment are reflected on, based on art and music as innovative and creative proposals.
