Looking outwards 6

For this week I looked at Brian Eno’s use of generative algorithms in music production. I didn’t know that he literally invented generative music and was doing it in the 90’s. This is exciting for me because I’m a fan of him and it makes me more impressed with him as an artist as well as interested in the application of coding. He used a moire pattern, which is two grids of sound layered on top of another and overylaying them into what he calls ambient music. He had a lot of interesting methods using hardware and homemade contraptions to produce and alter his music in really unique ways. This is a link to a talk he gave on his generative music.

Some of his albums useing genrative production methods are ambient music 1 through 4, and Apollo.
