Well, actually, you have created your own individual style - when we compose
our own music it is usually based on music that we are familiar with. If
computers could create music by learning each composer's style then we could
have our music taylored to suit our individual flavors. Computers could
create an infinite number of compositions that will contain our specified
style:
I could ask for 40%Wagner, 20%Bach and 40%Charlie Parker - and listen to a
new piece as it is being created on the spot.
