    darkness and light

    Up to taking a little test?

    Please listen to the following 3 minute excerpt from a suite of classical pieces recently composed by Emily Howell:

    Excerpt: From Darkness, Light - Iv Fugue by Emily Howell

    So here's the test: please choose one of the following, whichever seems most likely true based upon what you have just listened to.

    Emily Howell is:

    1. a student at Julliard
    2. a 16-year-old prodigy from Korea
    3. a "retired" classical pianist now turned composer
    4. a stroke victim with no prior musical training

    If you answered 1, 2, 3 or 4, you're wrong. In fact nobody (no person) composed the music. "Emily Howell" is the name given to a computer program created by David Cope. You can read more about it here.

  • Paul Pomeroy's Space

    Oh a sleeping drunkard up in Central Park / Or the lion hunter In the jungle dark

    Or the Chinese dentist or the British Queen / They all fit together In the same machine

    Nice, nice, very nice
    Nice, nice, very nice
    So many people in the same device

    Oh a whirling dervish and a dancing bear / Or a Ginger Rogers and a Fred Astaire

    Or a teenage rocker or the girls in France / Yes, we all are partners in this cosmic dance

    Nice, nice, very nice
    Nice, nice, very nice
    So many people in the same device
