Algorithmic Composition

Important Note: This is a scientific work!

• Algorithmic Composition Sample N.1, inspired by J.S. Bach’s two-Part Invention Nr. 1

• Algorithmic Composition Sample N.2, inspired by J.S. Bach’s two-Part Invention Nr. 1

note: This is the result of an ongoing work using anticipatory systems and reinforcement learning techniques. If you find it atleast funny, then we are on the same line! Read this to see how it was done.
