Swarming Music

New Scientist has a short, but very interesting article about program that can improvise music -- Insect Swarming Inspires Jazz Software. Essentially, the whole piece is modeled as a 3D swarm of notes, where the dimensions correspond to note duration, pitch and loudness. This allows the software to play notes based on the human player, i.e. compute the position of other virtual notes by using a flocking algorithm around existing notes.

This is a very novel use of Artificial Life techniques and though the results may still sound "alternative", the novelty of the solution is a refreshing change. Nice work!

ah but...

They certainly went for the easy option with jazz!

My cat can play jazz. (well, an improvised, experimental form)
