It's kind of a project we hope to get around to. Basically, we feel that neural nets can be used in a recursive connectionist system that could generate original music. We don't have access to the computing power necessary to test the ideas, yet, but we should within a year or so. If you are interested in exactly how we are planning on implementing everything, I can give some references on recursive networks. The music aspect comes from both of our (somewhat limited) musical experience. Feel free to send any questions straight to me if you have any.
