Composing music -- procedurally
-------------------------------

Until 1981 I had been doing some research on computer composition 
of music.  I have now taken up where I left off.  Even back then 
I was not up to date with the latest advances.  A lot must have 
happened in this field since then.

I want to contact people who know something about composing by 
computer.  Some of the researchers I read about (like Max 
Mathews, Lejaren Hiller, Iannis Xenakis, Stephen Smoliar to name 
a few off the top of my head) must still be out there.  Also, 
people like myself, who do this in their spare time, must have 
ideas, suggestions, sources of information.  What about journals, 
books, papers on the subject?

If anyone in net.land knows anything about computer composition 
of music, or knows anyone who does, then I beg you to let me 
know.  E-mail is most sensible.  Who knows?  Maybe we could end 
up with our own news.group!  A phone call or Snailmail reply 
would be most welcome too.
