The course would focus on both the history and technical implementation of generative music systems. Some topics of discussion will include mechanical and analog processes of algorithmic composition, genetic algorithms and other biological systems, generative grammars and other overlaps with natural language (such as audio Twitter bots), and data sonification. We will work up to what has been done at the intersection of music and machine learning, examining both older practices (such as Markov chains) and current practices (such as clustering algorithms like T-SNE, and deep learning with the work of Google\u2019s Magenta project). This course will include some basic music theory as well as an overview of the various implementation tools. Students will come out of the course with several small generative music projects of their own.&nbsp;<strong>Th 6:30pm &#8211; 9:25pm (09\/06 &#8211; 11\/29)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ITPG-GT.2993.1 (22585) | Instructor: Hannah Davis&nbsp;| Thur 6:30pm to 9:25pm | Meeting Pattern: 12 |&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/help\/sp21-class-dates-deadlines\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Start Date<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This course will go over the field of generative music, from its inception to the current state.
