  David Cope From an image - I'm not sure if I'd really call this music, but it might be interesting. The program that generated this takes an image as input and bases its notes on the RGB values of each pixel. It then scales the picture to 50% size and generates another bit of "music". The scaling process is repeated until it gets down to just one pixel. The final step is to assemble the song by starting with the 1 pixel bit, then playing through each size up to the original full size, then back through them ending with the 1 pixel notes. This clip was based on an image of David Cope (shown on the right), who teaches the Artificial Intelligence and Music course at UCSC.

  Bay Area Computer Music Technology Group @ UCSC with David Cope and Peter Elsea - Sunday May 11 [message #141148]
  ...
  Sunday afternoon presentations by David Cope and Peter Elsea
  ...
  Thank you to David Cope and Peter Elsea for hosting the Bay Area Computer Music Technology Group (BArCMuT) for a Sunday afternoon at University of Santa Cruz!
  ...
  - David Cope will discuss and demonstrate his work with his computer program Experiments in Musical Intelligence.
  ...
  If you are not familiar with David Cope's work, it represents a landmark moment in computer creativity (similar to Kurzweil's AARON application in the visual sphere).
  ...
  DAVID COPE ( http://arts.ucsc.edu/faculty/cope/index.html ), Professor Emeritus of Music at UC Santa Cruz, teaches in the annual Workshop in Algorithmic Computer Music (WACM) held in June-July at UC Santa Cruz. Cope's books on modern music include New Directions in Music (seventh edition), Techniques of the Contemporary Composer, and New Music Notation. His books on the intersection of music and computer science include Computers and Musical Style, Experiments in Musical Intelligence, The Algorithmic Composer, Virtual Music, Computer Models of Musical Creativity, and Hidden Structure (available through most online book sellers) and describe the computer program Experiments in Musical Intelligence which he created in 1981. Recordings of his music appear on Centaur, Smithsonian Folkways, Opus One, and Vienna Modern Masters and include a wide diversity of works, from large ensembles to soloists with electronic and computer-generated tape.

  The book is Computer Models of Musical Creativity, by David Cope.He's a composer and professor of Music at the University of California.I've got his other book as well - Virtual Music: Computer Synthesis of Musical Style.The current book (CMoMC) talks about can compuer programs themselves create enjoyable music.He gets into what creativity is, and ways in which modeling can imitate human creativity in music.Enjoyable he writes in an inviting style.

  Computer-Generated Bach: Fifteen Two-Part Inventions by David Cope (EMI)
  ...
  The composer is the computer program EMI (Experiments in Musical Intelligence), created by Professor David Cope of the Music Department of the University of California at Santa Cruz. Dr Cope originally designed the program to assist in the composition of his own works, but eventually, he became absorbed in defining the parameters of styles other than his own.
  ...
  Had Dr. Cope employed EMI merely as a means of assisted composition, then these problems could have been worked out through the usual process of revision and refinement. But since he has pursued a different vision--following the discipline of totally computer-generated, rather than merely computer-assisted composition--then no such revisions are available to him, other than those that can be programmed into the system.

  The book is the second in a planned trilogy on EMI by David Cope, EMI's inventor and a professor of music at the University of California, Santa Cruz.
  
  Pronounced "emmy" and short for Experiments in Musical Intelligence, EMI composes original music in the style of other composers. Of the 100 or so programs in the world creating music through computer algorithms, EMI is rare in that it operates by analyzing and recombining previously composed music. The program took six years to create and has been operational since 1987 when it composed its first sonata in the style of Mozart. Cope uses EMI as both a compositional tool and to understand musical style.
  
  Experiments in Musical Intelligence extends the concepts presented in Cope's previous book, Computers and Musical Style (Vol. 6 in the A-R series). The new book offers further explanation of Cope's intriguing program as well as theory on musical style.
  ...
  Using EMI, Cope has developed methods that may help musicologists understand style. "Because they can handle massive amounts of data, computers enable us to look at musical style in a concrete way we have not looked at before," he explains. "They give us information that we can quantify and patterns that we can recognize." David Cope
  
  Cope is a respected composer whose works, in the genre of twentieth century-classical music, have been performed around the world. He is the author of New Directions in Music, one of the most popular textbooks on twentieth-century music, now in its sixth edition.
  
  Cope began work on EMI in the early 1980s when he was commissioned to write an opera and found himself facing a composing block. He conceived an artificial intelligence program that could serve as a composing tool to help with the block. Cope completed EMI six years later and, with the program's help, finished his commission.
  ...
  Since it became operational in 1987, EMI has created music in the styles of such composers as Mozart, Bach, Stravinsky, Gershwin, Joplin, and Cope.

  Producer Jonathan Mitchell brings us a piece about David Cope, the composer and professor at UC Santa Cruz, who cured his artistÂ's block by writing a computer program to do the dirtywork for him.
