about

Musical Transformation modeled after John Conway's "Game of Life"

Life Music uses Conway´s "Game of Life" (a cellular automata, published 1970) for structuring sonic material. A cellular grid is projected on the town map of Graz/Styria, as well as on 49 loudspeakers of the CUBE (at the Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics, Graz). Every cell uses its own audio sample of app. 10 seconds. The evolving patterns of the "Game of Life" are responsible for selection, volume and motion of sounds.
