Information About

David Cope




His EMI software has produced works in the style of over a hundred composers -- ranging from short pieces to full length operas.

As a composer, Cope's own work has encompassed a variety of genres. Most recently, all of his original compositions have been written in collaboration with the computer -- based on an input of his earlier works. He seeks a synergy between composer creativity and computer algorithm as his principal creative direction.

He has published a wide range of books, which are often used as textbooks. New Directions in Music is currently on the 7th Edition and is the standard text for contemporary music.
