"Based on photos from the moon, fed through a custom music generator"

Poco Apollo is a 2019 album by Icelandic composer Halldór Eldjárn, which started out as a generative music program he made that would turn photographs from the Project Apollo Archive into bits of score, which he then curated into a 25 minute cohesive piece which were performed by him and several musicians. He explained the process more fully in a lecture. You can hear and see a number of live performances on his website, including one of the whole piece.

More Apollo inspired music from another generative music program.

Thanks, I'll check it out -- but does it really put gritty lunar regolith* through your amplifier and speakers?
