- dj subRoutine. Cruising at an altitude of 48,000ft and climbing straight into an event horizon, it's deep, dark, dirty and driving on a cosmic scale.

Dead or Alive is set that starts of with dark tones of Tech House and works up to a griddy electro sound. There is a lot of unreleased tunes in here for you to hear first. This one rocks! This mix is dedicated to our first baby that is due in October!! COMMENT:Ohs, yes.. I needed this in so many ways! * It is deep * It is dirty * It is filthy * It makes me want to dance in the dark * It makes me want to take a smoke/toke during and after the mix!!! I like to play it around 12pm to substitute as a nooner it is that good! I would say this is one of your best mixes. ~Mann. - Source Site:http://www.mixdepot.net/TheDirtyDuo/DeadorAlive

As an addendum to why trying to make computer models musically creative can be so disastrous, maybe the problem is we fail to understand what creativity is.

Scientists funded by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) have found that, when jazz musicians are engaged in the highly creative and spontaneous activity known as improvisation, a large region of the brain involved in monitoring one’s performance is shut down, while a small region involved in organizing self-initiated thoughts and behaviors is highly activated.

Study: Prefrontal Cortex In Jazz Musicians Winds Down When Improvising [scientificblogging]

That’s just one study, and I won’t pretend to be an expert in neuroscience. But what the scientists are describing is awfully close to the nuanced way jazz musicians will describe improv. It’s not not thinking. But it’s also not self-monitoring. It’s something else.

Microsoft Research has done some amazing work; it doesn’t always move me to tears, but there’s some fantastic stuff that deserves real recognition. And MySong is … well, technologically impressive, if musically painful. It’s a sort of collision between AutoTune and Band-in-a-Box: it recognizes a melody as input, then harmonizes that melody.

The vocal input goes well, and illustrates the number of different inputs beyond the mouse you can expect in The Future. Here’s the problem: harmony is extraordinarily difficult to model on a computer because of the number of variables, the amount that’s driven by instinct and art. And let’s be blunt: it doesn’t work right.

In short: if you’re planning to build a Jerome Kern robot, the technology may not be there just yet.
