stochastic caprice (RIP Minsky)

https://sevenism.bandcamp.com/album/wind-nothings Minsky: "If one thoroughly understands a machine or a program, he finds no urge to attribute "volition" to it. If one does not understand it so well, he must supply an incomplete model for explanation. Our everyday intuitive models of higher human activity are quite incomplete, and many notions in our informal explanations do not tolerate close examination. Free will or volition is one such notion: people are incapable of explaining how it differs from stochastic caprice but feel strongly that it does." in nov/december, i was inspired by Minsky's work on AI and approach to generative music to do an extended album of melodic self-generating feedback drones. A month or two later i'm surprised and saddened to find out he's died. tracklist/times: 1. stochastic caprice 55.40 2. matter intemporeal 47.18 3. mbient ekoz 47.39 4. seven 45.33 5. ghost in the machine 47.36 6. time 46.02 7. campfire ambience.flac 48.28 https://hearthis.at/sevenism/stochastic-caprice-rip-minsky/ longer remextract
