More on artificially generated music

I'd come across GenJam a couple of years ago. It is a software that learns to play jazz solos. The creator of this software is Al Biles As the name indicates it is essentially a Genetic Algorithm.

The website has a few snippets from a jam session between the creator and GenJam. Some of the results are actually very listenable (i.e., if you are "into" jazz music) I recommend "LadyBug" because there are distinct pieces played by the software and the creator and is a good showcase of the software's "talent".

He actually plays regular gigs using that software as a part of his Virtual Quintet.
