Embedded Files
Knowledge
Voyager produces music based on knowledge
choices out of a variety of correct responses
surprise is necessary but in context of shared knowledge base + embedded knowledge (reinjection)
2 types of systems
Autonomous - can create music by itself (ie Voyager), quasi-predictability
Collaborative - Improtek
Musician + system create a context together
constraints constantly change
Software with video (ask Gerard?) - video with audio is spliced and recombined to create novel combinations
often creates patterns that are physically impossible for humans (outside human scale)
in domains of speed and mechanics
but this is sonically interesting for musicians
systems allow reactions to new situations
Improvisors:
"openness" of performer is an important personality trait to consider
expert needs to engage with system
they test the space, accept the culture of computer as independently controlled
perhaps apprehensive musicians can be taught how to interact with the system
"uncanny valley"
Control:
responses to sound - reflect information and definitions
what happens when this breaks down?
Systems lack theory of mind
can we build it in?
should we?
