Human vs Computer Creativity: Music
The seven videos linked here come from the multipart symposium on Human vs Computer Creativity, moderated by Douglas R. Hofstadter in the autumn of 1997. The series was sponsored by the Center for Computer Assisted Research in the Humanities, primarily under the guidance of Eleanor Selfridge-Field. Video-taping was provided by Stanford Television for closed-circuit transmission. Links given here contained filmed material transferred from its VHS recordings and are made available by ScholarWorks at Indiana University. Most segments are roughly 90 minutes long.

International Musicological Society: Computational Musicology
In 1987 the president of the International Musicological Society asked Walter B. Hewlett and Eleanor Selfridge-Field, who had offered a session on emerging computer tools for musical study at their five-year congress in Bologna, to form a study group to explore broader use and international cooperation. This was no small order, because these were the early years of personal computer use and most projects reporting at the time were running on mainframe computers.
