DESCRIPTION:Computer-generated music has been a point of discussion for ma
 ny years now. When creating music in this way\, it’s important to addres
 s what the goal is. Are we trying to produce music that is the most techni
 cally accurate it can be? Or are we looking to create something that is ae
 sthetically accomplished to the listener’s ears? I will compare two appr
 oaches to solving this problem\; a neural network and a genetic algorithm.
  Discussion will include the respective benefits and pitfalls of each meth
 od as well as an introduction to 4-part harmony in the style of J. S. Bach
 .
