Some darn good questions in there, but not many answers... "The question is not to know if machines have a soul, but to know if we humans have one". However, music is a form of communication, right ? Besides the soul question mentioned above, communcation requires a intention. Computers have no intetntions whatsoever, so the guy who codes a piece of software capable of writing emotional music is the commmunicant. The computer is the tool, fine by me.

I think that the only composers who need worry about their jobs are real hacks - anyone with talent won't find much competition here. Soul? Nope, at least not that I heard. I heard something more along the lines of a first year music student practicing fingering exercises. | |

Composition, to me, is all about intent...the original emotional/conscious impulse translated to musical form. As the man says a computer is just another kind of shovel and you don't congratulate a shovel for digging a hole. Unless it's a Neve/Fairchild shovel I suppose.
