Don Knuth – Constraint Based Music Composition

  • Music starts at 1h5m42s: https://youtu.be/e_1a6bHGQGo?t=1h5m42s

  • This was held at the ccrma stage! So many great talks and concerts have been held there. I have used that room to stream phish shows and watch cabin in the woods in 5.1 :D

    If you are in the bay area you should definitely go check out one of the events, they are all free and open to the public.

  • A comprehensive autobiographical video interview with Knuth from a few years ago:

  • Does anyone notice Don's piano belt :)

  • The word "eccentric" springs to mind. (I mean that in the nicest possible way)

  • Gotta love this Christian.

  • Not meant to be insulting or disparaging but I'm curious: Does Knuth have some form of highly functional autism or related? His body language is very weird to me. Staring at the floor a lot, seems to be lost in thought, etc.?
