Quote:Blogger Jonathan W. Stokes used algebra to map famous chess games onto a piano, and then outputted the results as MP3s. The tunes created are surprisingly listenable

I wonder if anyone will ever understand music well enough to create an algorithm that produces music.

That's already been done.

I think artificially-generated music lacks soul.

Much like many of our contrivances and concepts

I didn't mean 'technically'.

I think it will closely approach the mystery of the octaves. May be music is a more tangible manifestation of a deeply intangible cosmic creative principle.

Very interesting. It produces pleasing melodies, and the choice of piano sound makes it sound easier on the ears. However, to my ear it sounds like rule-based synthesis from a few classical compositions. Sounds very generally like a Mozart allegro sonata without the improvisational range.

I would like to hear different compositions to see what the variance in 'creativity'.
