RobSmithDev takes a fascinating dive into the world of algorithmic music in his latest video, starting with AlgoMusic, a program for the Amiga created by Thomas Schürger back in 1995. This clever piece of software could generate pseudo-random songs on its own—an impressive feat for its time.
But the journey doesn’t stop there! Rob follows Schürger’s later work with SoundHelix, an evolution of the concept that pushed algorithmic composition even further.
And just when you think you’ve seen it all, Rob shifts gears to examine the latest in AI-generated music. Spoiler alert: technology has come a long way! The difference between those early experiments and today’s cutting-edge AI composers is nothing short of mind-blowing.
So, if you’re curious about how machines have been making music—past, present, and future—this is a video you won’t want to miss.
