the non-deterministic trance project
Mungo Enterprises has created the Infinite Horizon, which is a hardware ’synth’ that writes dance music. “The basic concept behind it is that most “classic” dance music is so formulaic it should be easy for a computer to generate.” Well, thats no surprise! Though I hope it doesn’t mean I’ll be out of a job soon, replaced by a robot DJ and robot producer! Though in fact, the box, while generating the chords and melodies, must still be ‘played’ by a human, who determines the greater flow of the piece. Check out the mp3 of the first live set performed with the box - quite interesting! Better than some of the crap I’ve heard people write!
