Today’s Boing Boing Video episode is part 2 of a 2-part conversation with Peter Kirn of Create Digital Music and Matt Ganucheau of Expression College about generative music, experimental audio in video games, new tools for music composition, and how sound changes our experience of gaming.
We conducted this interview during Boing Boing/offworld’s marathon live coverage of the 2009 Game Developers Conference. Peter Kirn shares a couple of urls that came up during the conversation:
Composer Troels Folmann came up as a source of inspiration – and himself the advocate of something he calls “micro-scoring.” His GDC session, in which he boils a waterphone (seen at the tail end of the video!), is here on createdigitalmusic.com.
And here is a previous interview in which he discusses his approach to adaptive music.
