This site is a showcase for the latest techniques in algorithmic composition.
The music below was composed entirely by a computer program written by Jeremy Leach PhD.
In one session the software was run 11 times - you can listen to 3 of those generated pieces below.
Version 2 of this program is now being written, which will result in higher quality music and greater longer term variation.
Completion of version 2 expected in June 2011.

Each time the program is run, it chooses the notes that make up the piece. I.e. it decides on the harmonic progression, rhythms and melody. And each time it's run, the resulting piece of music is different.
