New Music inspired by the Game of Life

[Peter Armstrong]

Dear Game-of-Life Gurus,

I have just completed "Patterns from the Game of Life, Part I". Subtitled "Eighth-Notes for Toy Piano",
it consists of 25 short pieces, each in length 11-29 seconds, in range from 1 pitch to 2 octaves. The
music is based on some ninety graphs from the LifeWiki collection. Its score, including an attribution
section for those sources (by pattern name, discoverer, year), is to be published by Edition Ottaviano
Petrucci c/o the International Music Score Library Project (IMSLP). A caveat just in case: I expect to
profit not one penny from this project.

If you would care to see/hear the work, I recommend its Internet Archive video (synchronizing page-
turned-score with audio) as the most convenient way. Here is the link:

Thank you all for your inspiration!
PMA

This seems interesting. I think it would be nice to know what pattern each each numbered "piece" corresponds to.

The source patterns, up to eight per piece, are listed on two pages at the score's end
by name/discoverer/year and grouped by height (piece number), as explained in the
NOTES. There are ca 90 all-told.
