Welcome to the Algorithmic Music Classroom
• Look around you• Behind me is the break room for the
workshop• Behind you is the graduate student
algorithmic workshop• Across the hall are the offices of Cope,
Nauert, and Elsea.• Out the windows is Monterrey Bay

WACM
• Pronounced “whack-em”
• Our eighth year
• We will be asking you to introduce yourself (with a brief interesting story) shortly. Be thinking about what you might say.
![Page 6: Welcome to the Digital Arts Research Center (DARC)](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649f4f5503460f94c70bff/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Staff introductions
• David Cope (Dave)
• Peter Elsea (Peter)
• Paul Nauert (Paul)
• Daniel Brown (Daniel)

Class Introductions
• A brief short story that will identify you for the rest of us throughout the workshop and, for that matter, forever.
• The stranger and more “out there” the better (within reasonable limitations).

Algorithm:
fromGreek word arithmós—number
Arabic word algorism—number series
meaning:a set of rules for solving a problem in
a finite number of steps.

Why computers?
• faster•more accurate•able to tackle large amounts of data
![Page 14: Welcome to the Digital Arts Research Center (DARC)](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649f4f5503460f94c70bff/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Why programming?
•Composing and Analysis applications
harbor their creator's biases
•The less bias the more apt you are to get what
YOU want.

Why Lisp?
great programming environment
IRCAM, Grame, CCRMA, CNMAT, MIT, etc.
![Page 16: Welcome to the Digital Arts Research Center (DARC)](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649f4f5503460f94c70bff/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Lisp is:
• (1) high level
• (2) functional
• (3) symbolic
• (4) interpreted
• (5) recursive

Final Project
• We’ll have plenty of daily exercises for you.• However, each student is responsible for
creating a final music project (examples provided later this week).
• Presentations of these projects takes place on the final two days of the workshop.
• Be thinking (start now) of some project that you wish to accomplish in the next two weeks.

Former Students
• One will have a premiere of an instrumental work at the International Computer Music Conference this year.
• Another has finished a book on Max for Oxford University Press that includes algorithmic composition (and a mention of us here at the workshop)
• One of us now teaches in the Workshop (Daniel Brown)
• And believe me many other success stories.
