This
work draws parallels between musical problems and the problems of motor
control and learning in synthetic characters. This work points towards a
system in which characters movements are shaped (by training) in real-time
and consequently, by creating music with the resulting system, we are able
to perform similar training and shaping within a musical domain.
This work is an application of a synthetic character metaphor to the production
of music. Presented here is a small colony of creatures whose virtual bodies
produce sound. Played out in a spatial representation, passages of music
are exchanged between the creatures and consequently distorted retrograde
variations and repeated subsegments are swapped back and forth in an accidental,
recombinant evolution. |
