The project Forms-string quartet is created by Playmodes. It is a live performance by a string quartet that uses randomly generated graphics as a score. The algorithm uses chance and probability to generate specific graphics that are then played by the string quartet. It is an immersive experience with both electronic music and panoramic visuals. I think that the algorithm uses a set of possible points or graphics and then picks them in random orders for each instrument. The website then says that a synthesis algorithm is used to interpret the vertical fragments of the image and transform them into different aspects of the music. I admire this project mainly because the graphics are very beautiful and to see them and hear the noise interpreted from it is very satisfying. It makes music visually digestible and understandable for the audience which I really enjoy!
