Steve Goodman · The MIT Press eBooks · 2008
This chapter describes sound art and its influence under the digital simulations, which are based on artificial life models. It mainly focuses on the effects of the software concept on musical culture. The next part of the chapter outlines the definition of the algorithm and its role in software-based audio. The chapter also discusses the recent developments in the field of software music along and explores the relationship between cellular automata and music algorithms. Its main aim is to show the enormous efforts of artificial life techniques, the use of computers, and simulations in the art of music.
