io 0.0.1 beta++: (musical) time and machine musicianship 0.1

Second part of a series at the io 0.0.1 beta++ website about musical time, rhythm, musicality and politics: The issue is not so much that a musicality built up from a simple ‘beat detection’ is not possible…. The issue is the implications of seeking and defining, in research, such a trait; valuing such a musicality; [...]

In this model the mind is [...]

…and more CD reviews: io 0.0.1 beta++

Two more reviews of ‘io 0.0.1 beta++’ (SLAMCD 531) with two contrasting takes on the meeting between human and machine musicians. Ken Waxman, on the one hand, juxtaposes the “unobtrusive and egoless” machine with the human improvisers who display, for example, “thoughtful pauses”: …Han-earl Park personifying Dr. Frankenstein, has created a non-human artificial musician from [...]

Download of the Day at All About Jazz: Paul Dunmall, Han-earl Park and Mark Sanders

Free jazz, in no uncertain terms. I don’t know what it is about Han-Earl’s groups’ sounds. Ten seconds in, I think to myself, “Man, this isn’t my thing.” But by the time the tune is over, I realize that I’m totally into it and enjoying it. If a musician can convert my ears within the [...]
