Algorithmic music
Some composers do not compose but make computer programs that “automatically” generate music. How do they do this? Which aesthetics and compositional considerations lie at their starting points? Are others able to utilize this software as well? Is software documented or is published?
Guests: Gottfried Michael Koenig, Luc Döbereiner, Hans Timmermans, Jorrit Tamminga, Rozalie Hirs, Remko Scha, Hannah Bosma (MCN).
A report on this event will be published on the website soon. A video of the event may be viewed in the Music Information Center at MCN.
