I was listening to a radiolab podcast about a composition professor at the University of Santa Cruz, named David Cope, who developed a computer named EMI in the 80s. EMI is an acronym for Experiments in Musical Intelligence.
Apparently you can feed sheet music into this computer and it will interpret the sheet music as data. So if you, for example, feed it enough Mozart sheet music, it will be able to write a symphony in the style of Mozart.
Pretty neat hey?
I'm for sure a fan.
