Generative Music with the Muse
Summary
This Computer History Museum blog post explores the Triadex Muse, an early algorithm-based sequencer from 1972, and explains how its hardware generated music through a four-interval system and a 31-bit shift register. The piece highlights the Muse's role as a precursor to modern generative music and situates it within the history of algorithmic composition, augmented by visuals and historical context.
