Or random interesting sounds - <br /><br />If it can be done I think it is more attributable to the human willingness to see many many things as art and music and poetry, rather than the genius of the machine.

I still have a couple of weeks off but popped in to read your comments.<br /><br />My gut feeling tells me that no matter how far advanced technology will be in the future there will still be a little bit inside us resisting that change. Look at vinyl in music records. It's coming back! At a time when we can stream music on our phones and tablets, there are people buying long play records and filling up their houses with the scratchy sound of a needle. :-)<br /><br />Many thanks for your thoughts. Keep them coming.<br /><br />Greetings from London.

If the computer is allowing a human to judge whether what it's doing is pleasant/unpleasant then surely the "judge" is the composer? Such a process might be better thought of a "deskilling" the composer rather than eliminating him/her.<br /><br />I was always interested in how Cage's chance-based music managed to "sound like Cage" despite the aleatoric processes.Dominic Rivronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02618013365521035400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-40188113425559572082013-08-26T01:43:18.859+01:002013-08-26T01:43:18.859+01:00The answers and the pathways into the future will ...The answers and the pathways into the future will be different, I think, for the particular arts that are mentioned here. <br /><br />Given the electronics which already exist, computer-generated music is here now, for all practical purposes. It simply is a matter of continuing evolution in both creation and performance.<br /><br />As for art in relation to painting and sculpture, they began to become more a science of marketing than an act of creation in the Nineteenth Century, in my opinion, and have been on a downhill course ever since. I think work from apes and computers might be preferable to that by human hand/mind.<br /><br />Poetry and fiction will be the last to be lost by we mere mortals, logically, but who can see beyond the end of their nose?<br /><br />Neat post, CiL.
