The program didn't break any rules; Cope hadn't asked it to." —Ryan Blitstein, "Triumph of the Cyborg Composer," Miller-McCune, February 22, 2010. Technology evolves at such a fast pace that it is often difficult to discuss a new innovation critically without fearing that the argument will be anachronistic before the discussion is even complete. Yet we must consider the software and hardware around us as they relate directly to the moment we live in, for any attempts at trying to write about the evolution or limitations of the technology of the future is a folly. To date, there is very little by way of critical analysis of David Cope's computer programs "Emmy" and "Emily Howell" outside of the relatively esoteric field of research into artificial intelligence, and thus I hope to offer one as best as 2011 will allow. Emmy (a play on EMI—Experiments in Musical Intelligence) is software, capable of creating original music when given certain parameters. If Bach's six Brandenburg Concerti are uploaded into the program, a new work "in the style" of the Concerti will appear. If Mahler's Ninth Symphony, Schoenberg's Verklärte Nacht, and Zemlinsky's Lyric Symphony are synthesized by Emmy, a work of distinctly late 19th-century Vienna will be produced. As a strong proponent of computer sciences as they relate to music, Cope felt the desire to go further with artificially intelligent composition and put aside the program that merely synthesized the works of previous composers to create a new, dynamic platform, "Emily Howell." Emily only uses musical 3 Infoteca’s E-Journal No. 163 August 2011 Sistema de Infotecas Centrales Universidad Autónoma de Coahuila sources produced by Emmy, which include everything from Navajo Songs to Mahler, and (officially) the only living composer whose work is present in the database is Cope's. The implications of these programs are tremendous. For musicians and audiences alike, the progress and even nature of music could be fundamentally changed. If a computer program could create new music with the push of a button, customizable to anyone's taste and without distinct intellectual copyright issues, it would revolutionize the way music is produced and consumed in everyday life. Yet there are technical, philosophical, and practical issues which must be considered when weighing the value of Emmy and Emily Howell in society. How does Emily potentially affect music from the perspectives of composers, performers, computer programmers, classical music fans, and the general public? Does Emily live up to Cope's claims regarding Howell's capacity? What is Music? The answer might seem obvious, but it is important to define what music is before it can properly be discussed. Leonard Bernstein argued in his 1973 Norton Lectures (later titled The Unanswered Question) that based upon Noam Chomsky's analysis of languages, syntax, and grammar, music functions as a language. By extension, it suggests that music is just a root—as the Phoenician and Cyrillic alphabets offer basic structures for languages to be built, so can music be parsed in various ways to offer many languages. Thus music is not a universal language. Contrary to romantic notions that music transcends nation, culture, and status, any Western listener who has ever sat down to traditional Tibetan chants can attest that what one culture considers sacred, another would consider cacophonous. Tritones (and their surrounding microtones) are considered harmonious in many of these musical languages, while Western classical music referred to the tritone as "the Devil's Interval" for a significant period of time—not only unpleasant but, by association, immoral. Languages also inherently evolve over time; while Chaucer wrote in "English," it is virtually unintelligible to the modern speaker. A mid-point can be seen in Shakespeare—certainly understandable to an English speaker, but syntactically far removed from our present language. Each musical language evolves as well. During the Renaissance, Western classical music revolved around modal harmonies, with the Ionian and Aeolian (major and minor) scales rarely used. From the Baroque until midway through the Romantic Period, Ionian and Aeolian (tonal) harmonies were the principal musical dialects. Toward the end of the Romantic period, tonal harmony began to disintegrate and a slew of new harmonic structures were used. Music then can be said not only to function as a language, but to evolve as one as well. While not immediately capable of relaying concrete ideas (i.e. "Go take out the garbage!"), it is nonetheless a form of communication: A poetic communication, with grammatical and syntactical rules guiding its usage and comprehensibility as the language evolves. Ultimately, the discussion involves intention. A language is a collection of sounds, organized into roots, expanded into words, and then governed by grammar to take otherwise incoherent tones and give them meaning. Neither "hjew wejklf jjeih" nor "anatomical shelf run quarry" conveys anything, because they are not following the basic rules of the language used to write this essay.

  • 'Photon Glue' Enables a New Quantum Mechanical State 3 March 2014, by Nicole Casal Moore
    'Photon glue' enables a new quantum mechanical state 3 March 2014, by Nicole Casal Moore electronic devices, including cell phones and laptops, and also in solar cells and light-emitting diodes. Organic semiconductors are made of carbon-rich compounds that don't necessarily come from biological sources, but resemble them. They are newer to the market than their inorganic counterparts such as silicon. But they are finding widespread applications in smart phone displays and room lighting. Organics hold promise to be flexible and inexpensive, perhaps even deployed on large plastic rolls. "What we've done is taken the excited states of two principally different materials and combined them In an optical cavity -- a filament lined with mirrors -- into a new quantum mechanical state that shares researchers have used light to bind together quantum their best properties," said Stephen Forrest, mechanical states of two disparate materials.

To develop such technology for implementation in experimental paradigms, I collaborated with the neurobiology research laboratories at the University of Pennsylvania and Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine to record neural biopotentials from an awake non-human primate. These systems can serve as valuable test vehicles to obtain a fundamental knowledge of the numerous trade-offs involved in designing integrated biomicrosystems with respect to their power consumption (or lifetime), operating voltage, choice of carrier frequency, number of recording channels, overall dimensions, weight, and level of integration. • M.S. in Electrical Engineering, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI Sep 1997 – Aug 1999 One year extra coursework in Electrical Engineering: Systems; University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI • B.S. in Electrical Engineering,
