These are people who have inspired my musical journey.
- Iasos - Iasos is one of the original founders of “New Age” music. He began receiving music in his head from another dimension when he was a college student in 1965.
- Brian Eno father of ambient music
- Hans Zimmer film composer and electronic music pioneer
Kirchner’s mechanical composer - https://krazydad.com/pubs/kircher_paper.pdf
- A description of a working software implementation of Athanasius Kircher’s Musurgia Mechanics: The algorithm the Jesuit Polymath invented for non-musicians to set hymns to music, in four-part polyphonic arrangements. This algorithm was used in two related inventions of Kircher’s, the Arca Musarithmica, and the Organum Mathematicum. The author has created a software program that incorporates data from both devices. This software produces files in the open-standard ABC notation, thru which one can produce printed scores and MIDI recordings of 17th century polyphony in great quantity.
