MUSIM: Simulation of music composition using GASP

Most of the efforts at computer composition of music which we read about were either semi-random generation limited by parameters obtained through statistical analysis of previous works or based on the relatively straightforward (mathematically) twelve-tone system. It was our intent to create a fusion of these two methods. MUSIM combines semi-random generation with the harmonic rules of 19th century classical music in the hope of obtaining pleasing sounding music with enough surprises to keep it from becoming boring. Of course, this is also partially a function of the complexity of the rules you impose on the system. Our program is such that it could easily be adapted to twelve-tone composition rules.
