Abstract: I’ve been making interactive computer music and installations since around 1979, focusing on the development of programs that analyze aspects of their environment (in most cases, the improvisations of other human performers) in real time. The programs use that analysis to guide their generation of complex responses to what they find. The programs also establish their own independent generative and analytic behavior; they do not need real-time human input to generate music.
