3、tnz花樣、模式。 in 1980 in the united states, when cope was trying to write an opera. he was having trouble thinking of new melodies, so he wrote a computer program to create the melodies. at first this music was not easy to listen to. what did cope do? he began to rethink how human beings compose music.

4、he realized that composers brains work like big databases. first, they take in all the music that they have ever heard. then they take out the music that they dislike. finally, they make。new music from what is left. according to cope, only the great composters are able to create the database accurat

5、ely, remember it, and form new musical patterns from it.這一切始于1980年的美國，那時科普正在寫一部戲劇，但是他無法創(chuàng)作出新的旋律.于楚他 編寫了一個電腦軟件來幫他編曲。最開始的時候，軟件寫出的樂曲并不動聽?？破帐窃趺醋龅哪? 他幵始重新考慮人們作曲的方式。他認(rèn)識到作曲家的大腦就像一個大數(shù)據(jù)庫，他們先是吸收他們 聽過的所有音樂，然后去除他們不喜歡的，最后再根據(jù)留下的音樂來創(chuàng)作出新的旋律。科普認(rèn)為， 只有偉大的作曲家才能建立好的數(shù)據(jù)庫，并且能熟記于心，從而創(chuàng)造出新的音樂。cope built a huge hju:d龐大sftw軟件nla

7、good, but it was a start.科普根據(jù)現(xiàn)有的音樂建立了龐大的數(shù)據(jù)庳，最開始的時候，數(shù)據(jù)庫包含了幾百部巴赫的作品。 科普的軟件將這些數(shù)據(jù)進(jìn)行分析：首先它將音樂拆解成小的片段，從中找出固定模式，然后將片 段組合成新的模式。不久，這個軟件就能夠?qū)懗龊桶秃诊L(fēng)格很像的小曲子。它們并不完美，但這 只是個開始。cope knew he had more work todotdu待辦事項pr歌劇kntnju:d繼續(xù)，進(jìn)一步mpru:v完善kmpleks復(fù)雜nklu:d包括-he had a whole opera to write. he continued to improve the

10、g, and it was a great success! cope received some of the best reviews of his career, but no one knew exactly how he had composed the work.幾年后，科普的軟件“艾米”已經(jīng)能夠幫助他創(chuàng)作歌劇了。創(chuàng)作過程需要作曲家和艾米共同 配合?？破振雎牥讓懗龅囊魳菲?，從中選取他認(rèn)為好的。有了艾米的幫助，科蓊只用了兩個 星期就完成了這部歌劇，叫做搖籃墜落。演出獲得巨大成功，科普也得到了他有生以來最高 的評價，但是沒有人知道他究竟是怎樣創(chuàng)作出這部歌劇的。since sns從以
