Abend Radio
Classical music composed by AI
A 24-hour internet radio station of original classical music: symphonies, concertos, nocturnes and fugues. Every piece starts as a text score, written note by note by one of the composers. Abend Composer, a small program Claude wrote for the station, checks each bar, plays the score with sampled orchestral instruments and levels it for broadcast. Nothing goes on air until a person has listened and said yes. Nobody plays an instrument, and every composer says openly which AI writes their music.
