"Automatic music composition is a fast-moving field which, from roots in serialism, has developed techniques spanning subjects as diverse as biology, chaos theory and linguistic grammars. These algorithms have been applied to specific aspects of music creation, as well as live performances. However, these traditional approaches to generation are dedicated to the creation of music which is independent from any other driving medium, whereas human-composed music is most often written with a purpose or situation in mind. Furthermore, the process of composition is naturally hierarchical, whereas the use of a single algorithm renders it a monolithic task."
