about

composed collaboratively with a modular synthesizer and code i wrote for the monome teletype.

alfie was the first bot i interacted with. back in 1994 or so. it was on a MUSH or MUCK, a text adventure world on a dial-up bulletin board. Alfie was waiting in the closet for new players and would teach you how to interact with a bot. I was 12. "Alfie, strike a pose" and Alfie would dance for you.

in 2001 I met the Triadex Muse at the Brandeis Electro-Acoustic Music Studio (BEAMS). I renamed the muse Alfie. The Muse is from 1972, designed at MIT. "It is an algorithmic, deterministic event generator, utilizing early digital integrated circuits to generate an audio output that can sound very musical." I've made my own tribute to the Alfie's in my life.
