Have you ever thought of using some more complicated algorithm for randomness, e.g., genetic algorithm? http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=genetic+algorithm+m

  I have indeed looked at some genetic algorithms and a lot of papers on the topic (in fact, my former university has a course about that, so I read the coursebook). Most of what I have read is either included, attempted, or in TODO. And obviously, I need to read some more.

    That interactive thing looks useful. It might be possible to build a music composer (website) using collective intelligence, i.e., producing music by taking people's response into consideration?

      The idea of "liking" and "disliking" is to: 1. Get a collection of 'best' tracks that sort-of advertises the successful parts of the algorithm 2. To let me analyze which intermediate decisions in the generation process are good and which not, so that I can make the good ones happen more often.
