Emily Howell

Emily Howell is a computer program created by David Cope, Dickerson Emeriti Professor of Music at UC Santa Cruz. Emily Howell is an interactive interface that "hears" feedback from listeners, and builds its own musical compositions from a source database, derived from a previous composing program called Experiments in Musical Intelligence (EMI). Cope attempts to “teach” the program by providing feedback so that it can cultivate its own "personal" style. The software appears to be based on latent semantic analysis.

Emily Howell's first album was released in February 2009 by Centaur Records (CRC 3023). Titled ''From Darkness, Light'', this album contains its Opus 1, Opus 2, and Opus 3 compositions for chamber orchestra and multiple pianos. Its second album ''Breathless'' was released in December 2012 by Centaur Records (CRC 3255). Provided by Wikipedia
