  The music is pretty bad but I like the idea. I attempted something similar with poor results. Maybe it could be done with samples.

    It might be better if you don't think of it as "music" but as "loops". These are micro-scale compositions, not final compositions. Arguably, a second or two of silence between the bits would make that more clear. The standard I'm sort of using is "could I imagine this showing up in the middle of some other song?" and so far all ten loops I've heard so far actually meet that bar. Granted, that is certainly a reflection of my tastes and prior experiences, but it's not as bad as I feared. That said, while I could imagine any of these loops showing up in the middle of a composition, hearing each of them in a row is immensely tedious and tiring; the lack of instrument diversity, lack of macro-scale structure, and near total similarity in intensity gives you almost nothing for your brain to work with. Really great idea generator here, though.

      I think it needs to be a two step process, one GA to create loops and a second to create the arrangement from the winning loops. If done with well known samples it could really be listenable and interesting-so many good project ideas-not enough time:(

  Listened to about a dozen of loops, they all sound pretty much the same - in the "OK" category.
