Machine made musical [musical theatre]
Danielle Birkett · Engineering & Technology · 2016
The world's first musical created by a machine premiered at the Arts Theatre in London's West End. Beyond the Fence is conceived and crafted by computer and modelled on a statistical study of the recipe for a hit musical success. Given that it has been authored by carefully-honed technology rather than an imperfect and flawed human, it is predicted to sell out. Beyond the Fence has its origins in an experiment that sought to adapt computer programs already used in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and apply them to searching for the formula for a brand-new musical theatre sensation.
