I don't think fully automatic musical composition is possible, any more than fully automatic novel writing. A story has to start somewhere and go to some other place, and a musical piece is a story.
Art needs intent.
Actually, art IS intent. (Contemporary art is pure intent: art without artifacts.)
With music, what works (for me) is a mix of algorithmic generation and then selection / arrangement.
Here's a piece I made following that approach: automatic generation of ideas, then me doing the selection, ordering and interpretation.
