			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="left">This week I want to talk about <a href="http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/14.09/posts.html?pg=3">this article</a> I read recently on wired. the short version of this story is that at the recent Santa Cruz Baroque Festival a contemporary composer, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Cope">David Cope</a>, premiered a new 12-movement piece from the mind of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_Vivaldi">Antonio Vivaldi</a>.</p>
<p align="left">Yeah, I knowÃ‚Â&nbsp;Tonios been feedin worms for over 2 century&#8217;s so how did David find a new 12 movement piece from a dead composer. Well in short it&#8217;s a fake, written by software that David has developed. Essentially, itÃ‚Â&nbsp;takes a database of a composers work, analyses the phrasing and then uses that information to create a new piece.</p>
<p align="left">According to the article he has done this with lots of other composers as well as Vivaldi. Now I&#8217;m not a huge fan of classical music but this is an incredible creation and what I would love to hear is that David has unleased Emi on the likes of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimi_Hendrix">Jimi Hendrix</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Zappa">Frank</a> <a href="http://zappa.com/splash.html">Zappa</a> andÃ‚Â&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_Claypool">Les</a> <a href="http://www.lesclaypool.com/">Claypool</a>. Yeah Les is still alive but there&#8217;s method to this madness. <img src='http://blog.georgepratt.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p align="left">So once we have all these artists and composers absorbed by Emmy, why not mix and match, Hendrix and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beethoven">Beethoven</a>, Zappa and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ravel">Ravel</a>, Claypool and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debussy">Debussy</a>. Or let <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bach">Bach</a> or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haydn">Haydn</a> go nuts with a full Philharmonic Orchestra.</p>
<p align="left">There are definatly purests who will say that this is souless and grave robbing etc. I don&#8217;t, so long as someone doesn&#8217;t try to claim that they wrote it rather than the artist or composers &#8220;profile&#8221;. Bottom line, if it sounds good then who cares how the music was written.</p>
