[Smt-talk] Craig's List

[Ciro Scotto]

Hi,

David Cope has programs/algorithms that write inventions and fugues. Even better than studying the algorithms, would be creating them. Even Sibelius notation software has some rudimentary composition algorithms. We are almost at the point where a modern version of the John Henry folktale will be needed. Here is a link to some material:

All the best, 

Ciro
