Part of the Absolut Machines campaign.

Visit to interact with the machine. Hours: 9am-11pm EST. As seen in the beginning of the video, the visitor to the site enters a melody on their computer keyboard. The machine then uses this melody to generate an original and unique 2 1/2 minute piece of music. The web visitor also recieves a link to a webcam video of their piece being played.

You can also visit the machine in person. It is on display @

Wow. This seems like a complete ripoff of the Animusic computer-animated music video that came out a few years ago.

i understand the appeal of building machines, buy why musical ones? i just don't understand what you hope to gain from this...

How else do you think things like the piano and the electric guitar came about? Heck, even as simple as a lyre? Through exploration and experimentation like this. Not to mention, look at what the digital sound processor has done for music, especially in the 80s. What do we have to gain from this? More beauty, more music. Why create ANY art? For enjoyment.
