Creating Music with Code feat. R. Tyler
In this episode of softmax, I had the pleasure of sitting down with R. Tyler, a fascinating artist who straddles the worlds of music production, live coding, and computational biology. Our conversation dove deep into the realm of algorithmic music-making and the vibrant Algorave scene. R. Tyler shared his unique approach to creating music with code, offering insights into how this method differs from traditional DAW-based production and how it opens up new avenues for musical exploration.
We explored the concept of microtonality and its potential to push the boundaries of electronic music, a topic that R. Tyler is particularly passionate about. Our discussion also touched on the evolution of electronic music, debating whether it's still as forward-looking as it once was or if it's becoming more nostalgic. R. Tyler's experiences performing at international events, including in Shanghai, provided a global perspective on the growing Algorave movement.
As we looked towards the future of electronic music, we pondered the impact of AI and machine learning on music production. R. Tyler shared his thoughts on how these technologies might influence creativity and the importance of human input in pushing musical boundaries. His insights into the democratization of music-making tools and the potential for new sounds and techniques left me inspired and excited about the future of electronic music.
