The Mal's Copporim

This tune can be found in “folk-rnn v1 Session Book, volume 14 (of 20)“ (https://highnoongmt.wordpress.com/2018/01/05/volumes-1-20-of-folk-rnn-v1-transcriptions/). It was found by a user of thesession.org. They write: "I've had a romp round the archive of mp3s (http://www.eecs.qmul.ac.uk/~sturm/research/RNNIrishTrad/index.html). It's a slightly surreal experience, like you are listening to the output of someone locked in a cell and forced to write tunes! That's what I'm imagining anyway. Interesting to listen to a few - normally you know pretty much immediately whether a tune's going to be good or not, but there is quite a lot of variation during the tune - not `totally unexpected variation' but not simple repetition either. In [The Mal's Copporim], the first two phrases are quite fun as a generative idea to `human-compose' the rest of it! I know that's not quite the point of course. Still had fun trying the opening of this one on the harp."
