Somewhere in the 1984-87 time frame, there was an article published
in the proceedings of USENIX (or some UNIX conference) by a research 
team at AT&T on the topic of Binary Stocastic Subdivision as an algorithm 
for generating music.  Included in the article was a number that you 
could call to hear a demonstration of the algorithm played on a set of 
MIDI controlled instruments.  

I know the information is sketchy, but a little time at a technical
library should yield the reference.  If anyone is interested and can't 
locate the paper in a local library, I'd be happy to try and find it
at home.

Best of luck,
Andy
