The process of creating this new music is entirely digital. Pachet’s software programme dis- sects the music, which must be played on an instrument capable of sending a stream of notes to the processor in MIDI, a digital stan- dard for devices like synthesisers that control the emission of mu- sic. When the performer pauses, the computer program instantly begins generating new music with a MIDI-equipped synthesiser. The computer-generated music picks up so quickly and smoothly that many people who have heard demonstrations say it is impossi- ble to tell when the human musi- cian stops and the programme be- gins. Programmes like Pachet’s, which is called the Continuator, may some day be part of the array of skills offered by entertainment robots that people buy for com- panionship. “Robots like Aibo are designed to be interactive in an entertaining way,” Pachet said. “And part of the fun comes from their being able to learn.” The Continuator learns, he said, because the more data it has, the more convincingly it analyses and extends a particular musical approach. Andrew Schloss, a professor of computer music, says a keyboard that can play automatically by reading electronic files — the keys move up and down like those on a

player piano, without benefit of a human being. Because the key- board is also acoustic, it can be played the standard way by a mu- sician. Pachet used both modes in his demonstration, playing on his own, then letting the computer pick up, then returning as the mood took him. “It was the best improvising programme I’ve ever heard,” Schloss said of the demonstration. He distinguished no telltale break between the two performers that would signal that one was real, the other virtual. Schloss suggested that the sys- tem could be particularly useful for musicians who want to analyse their own styles. “You can learn a tremendous amount from using it for an hour or two,” he said. “You are listening to yourself mixed up, turned around and modified. It’s one hundred per cent based on what you’ve played.” Automatically generating mu- sic in a certain style is not a new idea. In earlier days, people cast dice repeatedly and used the num- bers to pick musical sequences that together formed a dance tune, thus creating music without rely- ing on the rules of composition. However elegant the Conti- nuator may sound, Pachet said, its performance comes down to de- sign rather than musicality. “There is no magic in it,” he ad- ded. “Mainly it is designing soft- ware that will be able to do all these computations efficiently.”
