Very interesting interview, especially seeing how the technology has evolved – the descendants of this software is now available on IOS mobile devices and you can listen to this music in your pocket. Is that the perfect distribution platform for Generatives Music?
Good interview, but what I think is most interesting is how wrong his predictions turned out to be. Today’s world of mobile apps, and downloadable music is much more conservative, and a lot less open to experimentation than what Eno was describing. Hopefully in the long, run his predictions or something like them will become a reality.
There is more experimentation going on then you might think, its just not being covered in the mainstream media outlets. Trust me there is more happening now then you think. Buy this software http://www.dsprobotics.com/ and join the forum …. you will be amazed. Or get Synthedit it is amazing also.
