about

Machine Art is a disparate collection of generative musical experiments.

Generative music is music in which some (but not all) of the composition or performance is done by some process or routine, which may have random elements alongside invented (or perhaps composed) rules.

As such, the art is not only the music, but also the process behind it.

All art is made while standing on the shoulders of giants. Machine Art owes recognition to:

- The people of Genuary: the game which prompted Machine Art into life.
- JS Bach, for his turgid and confused musical games.
- Alessandro Cortini, who proves that electronic music can be organic.
- Douglas Hofstadter. While searching for the nature of consciousness, GEB blew my mind way open to the souls of machines, and many more specific things from the loopiness of art to generative grammar and Bach's trickery.
- Brian Eno. Eno coined the term, and largely sculpted the present form of generative music.
- Teropa, who does the best job I can find of explaining what generative music is.

Some noteworthy tools behind Machine Art are: Supercollider, VCV Rack, Faust, Reaper, humble pen and paper, and the acoustic guitar. Noteworthy material from: the world around us; V Lenin/Wikimedia Commons; Bobok the kitten; Freesound; Pianobook; Edwin Abbott Abbott/Ruth Golding/Librivox.
