Generative Music

Just a note that composer Charles Griffin is trying out and reporting on some generative-composition MIDI software over at his blog. So far he's got posts on two different programs and approaches: Tiction and Nodal. Charles' reason for exploring this stuff?: "I’m in the planning stages of a multi-movement, electroacoustic, multi-media work that I will write for a flute quartet based in Rīga (and possibly a second group in Göteborg). In any case, I chose as my inspirational starting point the subject of Emergence, the study of how complexity arises in various kinds of systems."

I haven't played with newer versions of these things, but he's getting me interested again. Definitely worth looking over, even for the non-electronic folk.
