A jazz jam is a strange thing. Everyone playing at once, listening and responding, chaos and coordination in the same breath. Nobody's in charge and everybody's in charge. And out of that beautiful mess, life emerges — something none of them could have made alone.

Conway's Game of Life works the same way. Four simple rules, and from them: forms no one predicted. Not simulations of life — life itself, walking out of almost nothing.

This collection lets jazz phrases play the Game of Life. Words about courage and improvisation, living on the grid.

Simple rules. Creative community. Unexpected beauty. That's Generative Media Club.
