<div>Seriously, though; this guy writes 'music AI' software and then resents it when people think that implies he might be interested in other experimental computer music programmes... </div>
</div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>This guy is almost laughable the way he situates himself.</div><div><br></div><div>Firstly, I don't see how probability distributions equates to 'music AI'. Claiming his drum pattern generator is somehow 'revolutionary' underlines how out of touch he is with contemporary music research. That sort of stuff was done in Max in the 1990s.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Secondly, his presentation to the Ruby community on his software suggested that he, and they, are all part of 'the fringe'. I don't see how creating 4/4 drum patterns that emulate drum 'n' bass, using Reason, is in any way 'fringe'. Seems quite mainstream to me.</div>
