I've been doing some research on using GA's to write music, specifically 
four-part chorales.  I've been using the rules of tonal harmony to train 
the organisms, each of which is a chorale.  Does anyone know if there 
are others out there working on the same problem?  I know it has been 
done with neural nets, but I've never heard anything about GA's.

Thanks, 

Chad
