Iamus is a computer cluster located at Universidad de Málaga, used to compose contemporary classical music.[1] Iamus' Opus one, created on October 15, 2010 is the first fragment of contemporary classical music ever written by a computer. Its first full composition, Hello World!, premiered exactly one year later (October 15, 2011). Another work of Iamus' debut CD, Nasciturus, was recorded in Málaga on March 4, 2012. A compilation of fragments of all works in this CD has also been done, and four of these works premiered on July 2, 2012, and were broadcast live[2] from the School of Computer Science at Universidad de Málaga[3] as part of the events included in the Alan Turing year.

Powered by Melomics' technology, the composing module of Iamus (a half-cabinet encased in a custom shell) takes 8 minutes to create a full composition in several formats (MP3, XML, MIDI and PDF), although the native representation can be obtained by the whole system in less than a second.
