Some really interesting talks on algorithmic music composition this Friday at 7:30 at Etsy Labs in Brooklyn, NYC.

This is so awesome. Is there anything like this in San Francisco?

I know there was an SF Music Hack Day: http://sf.musichackday.org/2013/index.php?page=Main+page

Absolutely! Here's a recording for reference: http://bit.ly/1kbRpkX

I'm still waiting on the limited edition multicolour vinyl release.

The list of talks is worth exploring. I am glad the term "Automatic Music" is open for interpretation.

This hackathon has always been one of my favorites, because it draws both people with an engineering background and people with a music background, and everything in between.

I like to describe it as the 'hackathon quivalent of a garage band jam session'

This HACKATHON Event is a first for me. Kristin Olsen, who plays baritone for my Sensorium Saxophone Orchestra, informed me of the event and connected me to Jonathan Marmor. I have used simple effective Graphic Scores for various ensembles since the mid-70's as well as the use of playing cards, dice, numerical processes etc. I also compose using standard notation. For Saturday, a sax quartet version of my orchestra will be there to collaborate on Automatic Music. That evening, we will perform a collaborative piece from the Hackathon and a new work in our own repertoire entitled SWITCHBOARD. I composed this piece as a platform for open improvisation. It is based on the initials of each Musician performing using the alphabet to designate duration. We will also perform Terry Riley's IN C for which anyone who can play the composition is MORE than welcome to join in. Hearing Forward!

Unfortunately I can't make this, but here's an automatic music hack I built at music hack day this year in Toronto:

http://tap-pad.herokuapp.com

It uses cellular automatons to generate music and is completely open source: https://github.com/dmitric/tap-pad-web

there's even an iOS version: https://github.com/dmitric/tap-pad-ios

If someone there wants to play around with the idea I'd be honored!

Love it. I had a lot of fun playing around with it.

Anyone have any good resources or recommendations for getting into this area? (automatic-algorithmic music generation)

treetrouble• 13 years ago

There are a couple of subreddits geared towards algorithmic music (http://www.reddit.com/r/algorithmicmusic and the more general http://www.reddit.com/r/musicprogramming). Definitely cross/post any other resources you find

thorkell• 13 years ago

Ahh, looking forward to this. I'll be talking about a thing I made for self-referential composition: https://github.com/tkell/theultimatemachine
