Laurie Spiegel reminds us that her 1980s Music Mouse was an expert system, not a generative‑AI tool. What does that mean for today’s music tech and algorithmic composition? Dive in to see how the legacy shapes modern creative computing. #ExpertSystem #MusicMouse #AlgorithmicComposition #CreativeComputing

If you're interested in using Python for music, whether that's algorithmic composition, computational music theory, or musicology, you've doubtless encountered music21. It's great, but can be a bit prickly. MIT has a great Open Courseware course with music21's creator, Michael Scott Asato Cuthbert, and it's really great! (Yes, that was the third time I said 'great' and that was the fourth.)

Computational Music Theory and Analysis | Music and Theater Arts | MIT OpenCourseWare

This course presents major approaches to computational music theory and musicology in the symbolic (score-based) domain. It covers algorithms for music theory, encoding, corpus studies, musical search and similarity, feature extraction and machine learning, music generation, and computational music perception. Other topics include repertory access and computational bias. Programming assignments are in {{% resource_link "df43b258-7896-415a-a0f3-2ee18c498fa8" "Python" %}} using the MIT-created {{% resource_link "078ed66c-bf67-4c1b-adcd-caf5cc0c4c0e" "music21 toolkit." %}}

On Composers and Computers

The article describes the manifold interactions between composers and computers in the creative process.

Sounding Future

Recently rediscovered my love of algorithmic music as an intriguing art form. I myself not a composer, nor really understand how it's made. But nonetheless found it charming, especially the live coding aspect of it with the human-centric approach to algorithmic composition of music and the accompanying visuals 🀩️.
Feels refreshing ✨️ compared to the over hyped lesser Ai (LLM) generated abomination of 'art' πŸ’©οΈ.
