This is a `nascent' area, I am not actively working in it but have several imprecise ideas I would like to explore. One recent activity was organizing a session on Algorithmic Music for the National Academy of Sciences:

• Algorithmic Approaches to Music Composition and Performance
        (Seventh Annual Japanese-American Frontiers of Science Symposium; Irvine, CA - December 10-12, 2004 )

Some links, thinking (in progress) along these lines...

• Karlheinz Essl
        (composer and performer)

• Algorithmic Composition
        (some text from Dartmouth)

• Markov Chain Analysis of Palestrina
        (MIT Medialab)

• Howard Sandroff
        (University of Chicago)

• Center for New Music and Audio Technologies
        (UC Berkeley)

• Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics
        (Stanford University)

• Hyperinstruments
        (MIT Medialab, Cambridge, MA, USA).
        - see also
• IRCAM
        (Paris, France).
• Ensemble InterContemporain
        (Paris, France).
• UTEMS
        (University of Texas)

• Pierre Boulez at 80
        (`we want to say, in as new a way as possible, what has not been said before')
