It would be interesting to port Emily Howell to CUDA and copyright the billions of "promising" songs generated; thereby establishing something of copyright infringement troll corporation.
(Strictly as a thought experiment, of course, more in an attempt fix copyright than to break it.)
On the one hand, the function space is unfathomably huge; on the other, the "stereotypical" punk song is written using various permutations of only 3 chords.
Really it makes me question how to reconcile the difference between "discovering" and "creating" music. It would appear one can do both. Though can one imbue discovery with emotion as one can creation?
- evanrmurphy 17y agoIf we consider time of composition as a variable though, then the function space is even unfathomably huger. What I mean is that even if those 3 chords have been played countless times in the past, right now may be the time to hear them again: when to play is an artistic choice as much as what to play is, because art relates not just with itself as a static object but also with the world around it.
