Brilliant! Now the circle will only be complete if another professor can invent the cyborg listener which offers a sensitive digital-ear and a critical appreciation of cyborg music. Then we're free to pursue how the two get along. regards niyam

Triumph of the Cyborg Composer 502

Posted by samzenpus from the musician-vs-machine dept.
An anonymous reader writes "UC Santa Cruz emeritus professor David Cope's software, nicknamed Emmy, creates beautiful original music. So why are people so angry about that? From the article: 'Cope attracted praise from musicians and computer scientists, but his creation raised troubling questions: If a machine could write a Mozart sonata every bit as good as the originals, then what was so special about Mozart? And was there really any soul behind the great works, or were Beethoven and his ilk just clever mathematical manipulators of notes?'"
