"Cope's work may be the first to bring to the broader community of scholars a host of issues that have been hotly discussed by biotechnology and artificial intelligence researchers in recent years. . . . It is an original and important undertaking that deserves the attention of all who share this interest."
Eleanor Selfridge-Field
Journal of the American Musicological Society
On the basis of his research in artificial intelligence, composer David Cope demonstrates that computers can compose music. Cope furnishes a step-by-step guide for analyzing and replicating musical style using his computer program, Experiments in Musical Intelligence. His computer compositions in the style of Bach, Mozart, Stravinsky, and others sound new and yet alarmingly familiar. He then shows how today's composers can use Experiments in Musical Intelligence effectively.
