Pure Data Playing Cards by Dan Berg — Kickstarter #b3ta
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bergonomix/pure-code-playing-cards

This came in via #B3ta but hilariously it recalls one of my first generative compositions from well-before the computer era, my submission to some CBC call for composers and done the old-fashioned way, graph paper and pencil, I used Conway's Live the same way, but on tablature for classical guitar.
It was a bitch to play and I didn't win any award, but in late-70's CBC 'classical' sensibilities, I submitted it as a lark, although I was serious. Well, mostly: the second section of Conway's Life for Guitar used a starting pattern that would last the duration, but was then CONSTRAINED by a musical rules of harmony using Jerome Kern's All The Things You Are to assassinate non-conforming tones and indeed, as expected, I found the notion of Harmony to be highly toxic. No one likes a composer with a sense of humour 😆
So far as I know, no recordings of my entry exist, the score is likely somewhere in the bottom of my notorious trunk so hated every moving day.
