Course Description

Overview

Explore the fascinating intersection of music and algorithmic complexity in this 42-minute conference talk from Strange Loop. Dive into Kolmogorov complexity analysis to understand how concise programming can measure musical comprehension. Examine the inherent complexity of grooves and fugues through their programmatic representations, and discover how their relationships can be described as program transformations. Investigate the implications of algorithmic composition on music creation, copyright, and performance, including both finite and infinite pieces. Enjoy finite demonstrations throughout the talk, covering topics such as Introduction Box Air, David Meredith's work, Clapping Music, musical notes, geometric translation, The Library of Babel, champion words, and lexicon songs. Join Christopher Ford, a ThoughtWorks professional with a unique background in arts and engineering, as he shares his insights on making music with code and explores the intriguing world of Kolmogorov music.
