Música Viva 2007 Festival

Workshop
September 10, 2007
Belem Cultural Centre, Lisbon, Portugal

The "Music and A-Life" concert will be held at the “Instituto Franco-Portugues” in the evening of 12 September.

This workshop will focus on the applications of Artificial Life to music and the tools needed to create and study such systems. These tools are mostly drawn from research into the origins and evolution of biological organisms, ecologies, and cultural systems on the one hand, and in part from A-life computer modelling methodologies on the other.
