The Little Ludwig, an evolutionary learning machine for musical composition

The Little Ludwig, an evolutionary learning machine for musical composition: "Beethoven is gone, but his music remains. Had he been given another opportunity, who knows what he would write? Presumably any new compositions would feature at least some of the elements present in his previous music. The Little Ludwig operates on this assumption. The Little Ludwig is an evolutionary learning machine for musical composition. Written in Common Lisp, it is Earl Bellinger's final project in CSC 466: Artificial Intelligence and Heuristic Programming, a course in the SUNY Oswego Artificial Intelligence concentration for a B.S. in Computer Science."
