THIS SITE’S MUSIC! A neat little algorithm available here uses your IP address to generate random midi music. The personal aspect is a bit affected when you realize your IP address isn’t really that personal; I don’t know a single soul that has selected their own, as if that was readily available. It’s a cute hook though, a reason to listen to algorithmically generated music which most poeple need!
Additionally the author(s) are accepting votes (like or dislike?) to build a database that will train their neural network. You have to wonder what cross-sections of people are looking at their site and the music these people like, and then imagine a neural network trying to reproduce that music. I can’t, and it’s wonderful that this system will evolve and produce music we can’t imagine.
Or maybe it’ll produce Top 40 hits.
