New Music Box wonders: “The implications of [programs that compose music] are tremendous. For musicians and audiences alike, the progress and even nature of music could be fundamentally changed. If a computer program could create new music with the push of a button, customizable to anyone’s taste and without distinct intellectual copyright issues, it would revolutionize the way music is produced and consumed in everyday life.” Will Bach — played above by Jeno Jando — become obsolete?
