Sounds of artificial life
Eduardo Reck Miranda · 2002
We focus on issues concerning musical composition practices where the emergent behaviour of artificial life models is used to generate sounds, musical form, or both. Special attention is given to the potential of cellular automata for music-making. After a brief introduction to our research scenario, we introduce two cellular automata-based music systems of our own design: CAMUS and Chaosynth. We present a discussion on the potential and limitations of these two systems, followed by concluding remarks whereby we suggest that adaptive imitation games may foster even more effective correspondence between artificial life models and creative processes.
