Search - Butterfly Bill :: Mechanical Music for Computer

A collection of fugues, other short pieces (mostly contrapuntal), and jigs, played by a computer. Almost every MIDI sequencer program for computer generated music has a way you can "randomize", or vary the start and stop times of your notes so that they don?t appear precisely on the beat. This is supposed to make your music sound "more natural", and prevent it from sounding "overly precise and mechanical". In this collection of pieces, I have deliberately not used any of this; instead I let the computer play with the preciseness and uniformity that only a computer can make, giving it the same artistic appeal that a well-done mechanical drawing can have. In this Mechanical Music I let the machine sound unashamedly like a machine.
