Hi, I'd be interested in any sources of information on algorythmic composition. I'm thinking of developing/implementing some schemes of my own and now that I am at the beginning, I'd like to see how other people do it. Any per- sonnal experiences would be great to hear about as well. It seems to be a pretty facsinating subject, looking from the outside: its about issues of control verus letting go, about constraints and complexity. I would enjoy reading about any discussion on the subject. Thanks. Michael Hicks hicksm@spock.ame.arizona.edu

Try to find an article by Xenakis on computer programs for generating stochastic based music. This is rather old because the program examples are in FORTRAN 2! I have a copy of it if you have a hard time finding it. I think there is a book by Xenakis which has the article. Also check out the Book(s) by Allen Forte who has been doing research in coming up with a musical grammer - ripe for programming!! I don't know the name of this book either (some help I am), but I do know that he did publish some articles. You can mail me at nsj@apple.COM - neal

Mike, I enjoy being a musician, I also work as a salesman in a music store in Louisville, Kentucky. Can you please fill me in on "algorythmic composi- tion"? I would like to know what that is all about. Also, if anyone out there could MAIL me some info, please do so! Thanks again! -- Jeff Baxter baxter@disk.UUCP or uunet!ukma!corpane!disk!baxter Digital Information Systems of Kentucky D.I.S.K.
