Emily Howell

Emily Howell is a computer program created by David Cope,[1] a music professor at the University of California, Santa Cruz.[2][3] Emily Howell is an interactive interface that "hears" feedback from listeners, and builds its own musical compositions from a source database, derived from a previous composing program called Experiments in Musical Intelligence (EMI).[4] Cope attempts to “teach” the program by providing feedback so that it can cultivate its own "personal" style.[3] The software appears to be based on latent semantic analysis.[5]

Emily Howell’s first album[6] was released in February 2009 by Centaur Records (CRC 3023). Titled From Darkness, Light, this album contains her Opus 1, Opus 2, and Opus 3 compositions for chamber orchestra and multiple pianos. Her second album Breathless was released in December 2012 by Centaur Records (CRC 3255).[7][8]
