Wolfram Tones

[Baron]

After reading about Wolfram Tones in the Economist (I read it mostly for the subtitle puns), I got all excited about this program that can "create a 2 minute tune in any of 15 genres" by mimicking human creativity.  However, after multiple Quick-Time upgrades I still can't get the damn thing to work.  Has anyone else tried/heard of this?  If you've got a free two minutes I'd appreciate someone giving it a try and reporting back whether it is worth while pursuing.

It seems to work fine for me. Though I'm not blown away. Maybe I would be, if I read exactly what it is.

I fiddled with it a bit.
Got some good-sounding stuff, or at least some good ideas for tunes.
Also got some shittastic ones.

Not heard of it, gonna give it a try though. Oh wait, Quicktime is involved? Maybe not.

PS. WonkE3th - your sig makes me chuckle, but did you see where the quote link actually leads??   

[Wonkyth]

Yes.

It's not new, Band in a Box already does that slightly better, with a lot more options and genres/styles to choose from. Plus a whole bunch of other features, such as an Audio Chord Wizard, which analyzes an mp3 and tells you which chords are playing in it.

Well there are a lot of generative music programs out there but this is kind of cool because it uses Wolfram. It's a sort of hackers thing but Wolfram tries to mimic life. Somthing that is supposed to mimic life and using it for music is a nice idea, works better than I expected actually .
