Iamus (computer)

Iamus is a computer cluster (a half-cabinet encased in a custom shell) located at Universidad de Málaga.

Powered by Melomics' technology, the composing module of Iamus takes 8 minutes to create a full composition in different musical formats, although the native representation can be obtained by the whole system in less than a second (on average).

Iamus's first full composition, Hello World!, premiered exactly one year after the creation of Opus one, on October 15, 2011.

Four of Iamus's works premiered on July 2, 2012, and were broadcast live[3] from the School of Computer Science at Universidad de Málaga[4] as part of the events included in the Alan Turing year.

The compositions performed at this event were later recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra, creating the album Iamus, which New Scientist reported as the "first complete album to be composed solely by a computer and recorded by human musicians.
