A bidirectional (interactive) auto-composition process is utilized that employs musical rules and a pseudo random number generator, which may also incorporate randomness introduced by timing of user input or the like. The user may then quickly begin creating desirable music in accordance with a variety of musical styles, with the user modifying the auto-composed (or previously created) musical composition, either for a real time performance and/or for storing and subsequent playback. |
