Becoming 3-2 by Evan X. Merz
The music and video in this piece were generated by a java program that I recently coded. The software uses some concepts borrowed from John Cage, but updates them with modern AI techniques. Specifically, I use Cage’s gamut, graph and chance techniques, as they were used in the third movement of the piano concerto, and after. Instead of using pure chance, however, I use artificial intelligence to control how the voices move around the graph. Swarm intelligence techniques allow each voice to follow other voices, or move away from them.
