Internet Scanning Midi File Auto Music Machine

A program continuously scans the internet in search of midi files and slowly builds up an original "fucked up" music composition, based on extracting the midi data contained within these files and mutating the notes, for instance CC, together with data it finds, thus combining it into a generated "composition" which is ceaselessly played in a loop.

Using the internet as a database for existing compositions, Midi Fucker is procuring, reconfiguring and mangling up this existing material in real-time, so as to form a new "found" compositional collage. Midi files capture the expression of human musical performance, which means the music of Midi Fucker is combining a performance’s expression of hundreds and hundreds of musicians throughout the world and then processing is it through the musical-machine expression of computer algorithms contained within it. Scraps of known tunes, motifs and melodies that come and go, being processed and then buried among the new material, thus in a constantly evolving musical kaleidoscope, which at times sounds beautiful and at some other times very annoying.
