Soundation — Make music online. Vintage On The Cheap. There's no doubt that these days software is king.
And why not? It costs a fraction of what hardware does, the sound quality is improving all the time, and you can literally fit your entire studio in a laptop bag. But for all its distinct advantages, there are some areas where software falls short for synth geeks. It's not really collectable. It has a far more limited lifespan than hardware given how quickly operating systems change. Unfortunately, vintage hardware doesn't usually come cheap and this can be a barrier that prevents a lot of electronic musicians from giving one of these old beasts a try. Casio never really got a fair shake with the professional music market. I'll grant you that Ensoniq is not a name you generally associate with 'classic' synths, but for the life of me, I'll never understand why the ESQ-1 isn't more popular on the used market.

I began Experiments in Musical Intelligence in 1981 as the result of a composer's block. My initial idea involved creating a computer program which would have a sense of my overall musical style and the ability to track the ideas of a current work such that at any given point I could request a next note, next measure, next ten measures, and so on. My hope was that this new music would not just be interesting but relevant to my style and to my current work. Having very little information about my style, however, I began creating computer programs which composed complete works in the styles of various classical composers, about which I felt I knew something more concrete.
My first exploration with Experiments in Musical Intelligence involved coding the rules of basic part-writing as I understood them, since part writing constitutes one of the primary superstructures of traditional tonal music.
