Scuffed Computer Improviser
The Scuffed Computer Improviser (SCI) is an audio-corpus-based computer improviser developed by the Taylor Brook from 2020-present in MAX. Links to releases of the code, demontration videos, and performances using the SCI are provided below. The SCI first “learns” how to improvise by listening and analyzing the human musician and then may enter a performance stage where it performs interactively as an improvising partner.

Ouaricon Editions - 2020
Music for human improviser with computer improviser. This album is a duet between myself and a computer; the computer performs with an audo-corpus-based AI improviser of my own design. The software improviser listens and learns by analyzing the incoming sound and then improvises music based on what it has heard. This process can be heard in the music as each track begins with a solo that teaches the improviser how to be musical.
