Thank you. Meg Myhre. Community Collections. Koan Software is probably the best of these systems, allowing a composer to control not one, but one-hundred and fifty musical and sonic parameters, within which the computer then improvises as wind improvises the wind chimes.
The works I have made with this system symbolise, to me, the beginning of a new era of music. Until a hundred years ago, every musical event was unique: music was ephemeral and unrepeatable, and even classical scoring couldn't guarantee precise duplication. Then came the gramophone record, which captured particular performances, and made it possible to hear them identically, over and over again. But now, there are three alternatives: live music, recorded music, and generative music.
Generative music enjoys some of the benefits of both its ancestors. Like live music, it is always different. Like recorded music, it is free of time-and-place limitations — you can hear it when and where you want. I really think it is possible that our grandchildren will look at us in wonder and say: "You mean you used to listen to exactly the same thing over and over again? Manufactured and printed in the E.

The emphasis is on shifting aural patterns generated within defined musical parameters. It is something he has striven for in the past using over-laid tape loops.
With only five different lengths of tape of pre-recorded music he calculated that the music would synchronise every 14 and a half years. Computers have more potential than a mere battery of tape machines and with the release of Koan, Eno seized it. Koan allowed him to specify the parameters for about elements of each composition: sound timbre, envelope, pitch, range, harmony, rhythm et al.
The end result is a small program, or compositional "seed" as he describes it, which when processed by the computer and played through a SoundBlaster 32 or AWE32 sound-card leads to some nicely atmospheric music. The program is easy to use once installed. A simple control panel lets you choose how to play the music, edit your own tracks, tinker around with your soundcard set-up and even launch an Internet connection to call up the SSEYO Web page where you can download Netscape plug-ins.
At the time Generative Music 1 was released, Eno said that "until years ago every musical event was unique: music was ephemeral and unrepeatable. Then came the gramophone record, which captured particular performances and made it possible to hear them identically over and over again.
