How to play Lotto with Luto

February 20, 2013 by

I’ve just wasted a pleasurable few moments composing an aleatory piece on the Philharmonia Orchestra’s Lutoslawski 100 site.

Here’s what you do:

1 Pick a harmony.

2 Pick a rhythm.

3 Drag your harmony and rhythm into box C and – hey – you’re a composer like Luto.

Almost.

    For starters it’s a way to concoct a tune to go with an electronic greeting card and that will be one of the first applications… but what about copyright– sure to play a part in this scenario… thanks, and keep us posted!
