Becoming 3-2 by Evan X. Merz

The music and video in this piece were generated by a java program that I recently coded. The software uses some concepts borrowed from John Cage, but updates them with modern AI techniques. Specifically, I use Cage's gamut, graph and chance techniques, as they were used in the third movement of the piano concerto, and after. Instead of using pure chance, however, I use artificial intelligence to control how the voices move around the graph. Swarm intelligence techniques allow each voice to follow other voices, or move away from them.

The soundtracks of your dreams must be pretty impressive if this is what you do when you're awake.
