			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Those of you who&#8217;ve read my postings on EMUSIC-L and have followed this blog have probably noted that I&#8217;m a big fan of generative art: ambient music, installation pieces, and so on.</p>
<p><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/NWRrL2YJbLM"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/VRkNrWp6tLg" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed>wmode=&#8221;transparent&#8221; width=&#8221;425&#8243; height=&#8221;350&#8243;&gt;</object></p>
<p>Brian Eno has just released <em>77 Million Paintings</em>; a DVD of generative art accompanied by music. You can see an <a href="http://www.77millionpaintings.com/">excerpt</a> at this link (requires Flash; the full-size piece is Flash as well). The music for the demo is &#8220;Ikebukuro&#8221; from <em>The Shutov Assembly</em>.</p>
<p>The version on the website is a limited subset, of course, but it&#8217;s an effective sample. The images combine very organic textural bits with more hard-edged graphics in a nicely-judged way. I also find the rate at which the piece changes to be just right: interesting enough to look at for a while if you like, but not so quick that it constantly engages the reptilian brain&#8217;s &#8220;what was that?&#8221; reflex. More details on the piece and how it was done are available at the <a href="http://www.apple.com/pro/profiles/eno/">Apple</a> website. A lot of the work was apparently done on the Mac.</p>
<p>The piece is available at <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2F77-Million-Paintings-Brian-Eno%2Fdp%2FB000EMSU2O%3Fie%3DUTF8%26s%3Ddvd%26qid%3D1183257007%26sr%3D8-1&amp;tag=elw-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325">amazon.com</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=elw-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" style="border-width: initial !important; border-color: initial !important; border-style: none !important; margin: 0px !important" />.Â <span style="font-weight: bold" class="Apple-style-span">Update:</span>Â The <a href="http://www.longnow.org/77m/">three-day North American premiere</a> is on at the Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco. I&#8217;ve missed two of the three days; I may try to hit tomorrow&#8217;s Long Now Foundation member&#8217;s day.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Here is a first-cut version of the OS X Long Now Chimes application. The user interface still leaves a lot to be desired, but it makes pretty noises and works. Have fun.
I&#8217;ll be working on designing a nice pop-up date setter for later, and better interaction/integration of the interface and the ChucK program.
