I was listening to NPR yesterday, they where replaying an old segment of "Radio Lab." It was about "EMI" or Experiments in Music Intellegence. Basiclly, the guy, David Cope, feeds music into the program, and the program looks through it, and re-orders it based on things that occur often in the music (because every artist has his "tendancys" on what they repeat and the like.

The result is a new peice of music that, if played with the same instruments, sounds like a ghost of the previous peice, but new and very good.

Of course alot of people are accusing him of ruining music, taking humanity out of it, whatever. I like it.

Anyways, heres a link to some of the peices:

It works well if you open the links in anything by that Apple plug-in. For some reason, it freezes your browser when that happens.

Thoughts on it?
