Can software “create” music; at least musical compositions that a reasonable person can listen to? that has some characteristics that differentiate it from near-random noise? Or, can software be better used as an “useful AIDE” in helping a knowledgeable musician make new compositions?
Please plan to come hear how Professor Robert Keller describes his work on developing software for Music.
