groove·the·o·ry (grüv-ˈthē-ə-rē)
noun
1. The idea that a rigid and sufficiently detailed system of
coding and classification for sound samples will result in many, potentially
unknown, musical corollaries.
Applications:
· A notation system for compositions, using multi-timbral sound samples as “notes”
· A Creative Artificial Intelligence that can generate music from sound samples, mimic human compositional techniques, and learn to produce music pleasing to humans by collecting responses to prior compositions (InfiniteDub)
· A massive, distributed, peer-to-peer library of codified sound samples (TryAndBurnThisOneDown)
· A “player” that will render musical pieces into audio locally, using the composition notation and peer-to-peer library
· “Composer tool software”, allowing for visual construction of composition notation
