strange. It works on chrome on windows.
Re: Generating Music (with an algorithm)
#53There are at least two major areas of music composition which the algorythmic attempts fall vastly short of humans. One is that real music composition is never done where the timbres are separated from the composition. Classically notated music looks kind of like this, but it's really just a shorthand. A composer knows intimately the sounds she is working with. For pop music, the timbre itself is a mode of creative e…

It's true that composers almost always have a sound in mind when they write the notes, but it's very common to perform compositions using entirely different instrumentation to that originally envisaged.

#54Earlier quoted context omitted.
We still haven't really solved the problem of getting a digital piano to sound anything like a Steinway Concert Grand. Even if we could replace artistic expression with algorithm in this instance, the instrument sound itself has miles to go as well, and may well never be replicated with the precision that a true piano has.
Have you heard of Pianoteq? http://www.pianoteq.com/
I've heard it a few times. I like the sound a lot, but I know a few artists who still won't use it.

#55This is probably one of the best algorithmic music generators I've heard. It has a lot more feel of composition to it than most I've heard.

It makes the mistake of trying to generate in established genres. None of the genres I care for were anywhere near the mark.
