Unprepared Piano - Thompson & Craighead. In Unprepared Piano, a piano is connected to a database of music MIDI files from all over the web. This library of scores is then performed automatically.The musical scores contain a wide variety of instrumentations and are not generally intended simply for piano, so it performs each piece from beginning to end by randomly picking and choosing from its different parts. This means it might play bits of drum parts and percussion alongside chords and melodies intended for the other instruments. The piano performs and reinterprets each score every time it is played. The software to achieve this was created by ART+TEK.
This was shown a little while ago, but I rediscovered it on youtube today & thought, this is actually an excellent artwork. marc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOe4nrjguaw _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
