I have done a critique for my assignment on the use of computer-mediated composition technologies. One which keeps popping up is Hyperscore so I wanted to have a go at using it myself to see if it’s all it’s cracked up to be. On my exploration I came across this midi file:

This was composed by a 10 year old child who had no musical background in composition. This was done in a week and performed by the Berlin Orchestra in 2001!

Unfortunately, I only own macs and hyperscore seems to work for Windows machines only and has costs to purchase, although from the research and various videos available both on the Hyperscore website and you-tube it seems to have positive reviews!
