Wired Moth release note
Switched-On Computer
Robert Schneider
A pocket baroque automaton with its casing left open. Counterpoint rules spit out crooked miniatures; the charm lies in hearing mathematics stumble into character.
How the machine enters
Schneider and his son Max wrote an open-source Python system that generates compositions from two-voice baroque counterpoint and their own musical rules, then performs them through a built-in synthesizer. The third piece adds explicitly credited Chorus AI and Suno performance, kept visible rather than laundered into authorship folklore.
