Can a
computer be creative? Can we program a machine to make art? It
turns out the answer is yes, and it doesn't even take artificial
intelligence. This episode we are diving in to the ILLIAC Suite, a
piece for string quartet that was composed by a computer. Along the
way we will examine the Markov Chain Monte Carlo method, and how
methods used to create the hydrogen bomb were adapted to create
music.
