音乐以某种方式自我演奏，或从非人类智能中浮现，是民间传说、科学和艺术中常见的跨文化主题。几个世纪以来，这一概念通过各种技术手段的发展得以表达。本文探讨了我在即兴音乐中与计算机不断接触的各个方面，以我最近的交互式计算机音乐作品为例。这些作品涉及即兴音乐家和计算机音乐创作程序在表演（“实时”）水平上的广泛互动。在理论和实践中，这意味着人类音乐家和计算机程序在这些作品的任何表演中都扮演着中心的组织和结构角色。本文旨在探讨这一作品的美学、哲学、文化和社会含义。此外，我们还将探讨即兴创作本身的性质和实践，因为了解这种无处不在的音乐活动对于建立现代音乐艺术至关重要。
The idea of music that somehow plays itself, or emerges from a nonhuman intelligence, is a common, transculturally present theme in folklore, science, and art. Over the centuries, this notion has been expressed through the development of various technological means. This paper explores aspects of my ongoing encounter with computers in improvised music, as exemplified by my most recent interactive computer music compositions. These works involve extensive interaction between improvising musicians and computer music-creating programs at the performance (“real-time”) level. In both theory and practice, this means that both human musicians and computer programs play central organizing and structuring roles in any performance of these works. This paper seeks to explore aesthetic, philosophical, cultural and social implications of this work. In addition, the nature and practice of improvisation itself will be explored, since an understanding of this ubiquitous musical activity is essential to establishing the c...
