Itunes Signature Maker

by Jason Freeman

iTSM is software art that scans your music collection and algorithmically generates a short sonic remix of everything you've got. By trying to capture the essence of your musical taste, iTSM seeks to help people learn something about the music they listen to (and by extension about themselves), to share that with others, and to have some fun in the process.

Bio

Jason Freeman's (http://www.jasonfreeman.net) works break down conventional barriers between composers, performers, and listeners, using cutting-edge technology to turn audiences and musicians into compositional collaborators. Recent projects include Glimmer, in which the audience used light sticks to shape a musical performance by the American Composers Orchestra at Carnegie's Zankel Hall; Auracle, a voice-controlled networked sound instrument developed collaboratively by a group led by Max Neuhaus; and N.A.G. (Network Auralization for Gnutella), interactive software art commissioned by Turbulence which was described by Billboard as "...an example of the web's mind-expanding possibilities."
