Unfinished Symphonies - songs of 31/2 worlds

Paper i proceeding, 2001

In this workshop, I introduce some of the reasons for my fascination with alife and my desire to use it for music making. I also talk about some of the joys and sorrows of the collaboration process. Four alife worlds, Feeping Creatures, Spinners, Gakkimon Planet and Listening Sky are described in the order they were made. I talk about what I like and dislike about each one and how I would like to extend them.
