No matter: time is not an aesthetic criterion.

Hello,

At 2006 I installed a very small room dedicated to algorithmic music. The equipment is not
so bad:
http://www.avantgarde-acoustic.de/hornlautsprecher_einleitung.php?produkt=duo&produkt_id=3

(+ CambridgeAudio player, Benchmark converter, FlyingMole amplifiers). I hoped that some
composers of algorithmic music would be interested, but there seems that algorithmic music
does exist only at school level. So I organize concerts with "musique concrète" (Michel Chion, ...)
or "landscape music" (Albert Mayr, ...). This month, videos with Michael Bach (Cellist)
and next month Finnish instrumental music (R. Moingeon, V. Lhermet). later will follow
german experimental music with Stefan Wunderlich & Hans Rudolf Zeller and early
german electonic music with Josef Anton Riedl.

Some composers pretend they compose 'algorithmic music' (AM) - but they use MIDI and similar
industrial means. 

I compose in Python since 2003: it is a language I understand (I thought & think I am too old to
begin with CLM - nevertheless I am happy to use CMN).

I would be glad to organize concerts with true AM - compiling 'in situ' (Lisp, C, etc).
Any interest ?
