Fractal Music
This music is composed entirely by Fractal / Generative means by PC. What does this mean? Instant
composition?
Can a computer compose music? What advantages are there to this method?
Each note was indeed generated by software running on a computer. As to whether the computer composed
the tune,
The answer lies somewhere between "yes" and "no"...
The various software generates MIDI sequences based upon the iterations of mathematical formulae.
However, almost every aspect of what is produced is configurable by the composer. Not so much a concern
with each individual note, but a bit broader "brush" on this musical canvas. A process of "auditioning"
passages, altering to suit, cyclical in nature...
Unattended composition this is not - (though possible) - as with any other type of music, the involvement of
the composer is an essential element if it is to *work*. The computer generates the sequences. I either
approve or alter parameters till I approve of what is generated. There is no composition without my
involvement, my selection of what works and what is discarded. I choose the instruments and "audition" till I
like what I hear...so, perhaps it is a partnership between me and the software, myself making the final decisions
and tweaking everything during the process.
Advantages :
A democratisation - with computers, anyone can now make music for their enjoyment. Ideas - as computergenerated MIDI sequences can often yield surprises, perhaps this is a great method for getting new ideas that
the additional musician can then adapt to be realized by "real" musicians.
