  2. Second GEB Reading Assignment: MIU- Problem Set

    Task: This problem set is based on chapter 1 of Hofstadter's GEB. Your job is to craft a nicely formatted (typed) document consisting of both the questions and answers immediately following the questions.


  3. Markov Improvisation Project

    Description: This project is based off of choosing a melody and creating a probability distribution matrix based off the original melody, and creating 2 different varients of the melody. Each melody starts with the same note and have the same number of notes within each varient. This is done by using SimplePlayer to crete a midi file. The inputs into the SimplePlayer application can be viewed in Link1 in Task 1. The probability distribution table is in Link 2 in Task 1. Also to obtain which note would come next in each vairent a random number generater was used (coded in python) and can also be viewed in Link 1 in Task 1.

    Task 1: Choose a Melody X (Link1:Note formations : Link2:Tables): Row Row Row Your Boat : Tables
    Task 2: Original Melody X: Original Version
    Task 3: Variant 1 Melody X: Variant 1
    Task 4: variant 2 Melody X: Variant 2
    Task 5: All Together: X + variant(X) + X + variant(X) + X


  4. Third GEB Reading Assignment: pq- Problem Set
