Spoken like a true Information Designer.
The ideal feed would be spread across all three of course, so the archive
would also allow people to post to it, and the posts would appears on the
mailing list and usenet.
Then think how much noise we would have on the list!
You'd then have to have your agent filter it all for you and select what it
thought was suitable for you. Of course then would you be deciding your
tastes or would your agent? What if the agent had first 'learnt' from
humans?
Greg has touched on the point of human perception here, which we apply to
music all the time on this list [I like old Autechre, well I like new
Autechre being the most common, and neither having the right answer]
[And, here is my tangent, before someone accuses me of IDM list noise ... ]
Is this the same argument between computer generative music and human
composed music as valid art forms?
Because something has not had a human hand directly at play in it does it
make it less creative, less intelligent?
I suppose this is also the laptop performances thread - "But they just press
a button and it does it all for them" vs "They are subtly altering the
nuances of what you hear but your individual perception doesn't allow you to
take that in and instead you look for some physical sign of that
involvement".
I'm just kind of rambling, but what are your thoughts on computer generated
music [as opposed to music generated by humans controlling computers]
I know a few people on this list work with software like Max, and wonder if
they perceive creating generative music programs within it as the act of
composition, just composition on a more abstracted level than most listeners
are used to perceiving?
In other news, 26 Mixes for Cash [Aphex Twin] is here, but I'm finding it
quite dull. It's also quite beautiful, but I keep on finding myself ignoring
it. The Chocolate Coins that warp are doing as Promo Items are quite funny.
I'll try and listen to it again.
"Sickle Cell Hysteria" on the new Beans album is wicked.
