I don't like it. It's full of disharmony. Like komposed from a 4 year old child.

Gimmicky. Might work as background , incidental film music on some weird flock, but as 'music' , IMO this is simply too boring after the 5 minute marker, as such any suggestion that this sonic presentation will replace actual music played by live musicians is hyperbolic at best

[@mm-dn6oe]

If you listen to it as commercial or film music I can see why you would think that, but this music is interesting because it's about the interaction between human and computer in real time, not a presentation a grand narrative. For example, how did the computer know to change register at 11:10? I don't know, but it totally changes the sound of that part, and you can hear the performer subtly respond to it. It's not unlike moments in John Coltrane's later work.

@@mm-dn6oe I don't know how the computer did it. It might have a randomly activated or perhaps time sensitive 'change the register if this or that happened after 5 minutes' function...but who cares? It is not a pulsating, breathing, living thing. Computers are crude and ludicrous simulacra. And will forever be so. Computers are not alive, they can't feel, they are not sentient beings, unlike us animals....Personally I don't think John Coltrane would agree w/ you in regards. I think technology is a tool but I am not a technophilia guy. So let's agree to disagree. Peace.
