Algorithmic music composition is the application of standardized, well-defined algorithms to the process of composing music. We think algorithmic music composition won't have truly succeeded until it can produce not only beautiful music, but also beautiful music of a wholly different type from what we've heard before. A lot more research is going on in algorithmic music composition than you might expect. At the Fine Arts Lab, we're not afraid to explore to connections between music composition and social theory, space as a structural factor in composition or using chaos theory in music composition.
