I thing this project will no expect to generate the most beautiful sound for the user in a determinated moment, but why not? it could be a great investigation area (personal music, using subjetive information, but it's closer to the interactive music area) I don't know if people could buy music like that, but for example.... hear Mike Olfield's last albun, there is two songs very closed (Serets and Source of Secrets), they only changes in few movements, but you can feel it very diferent.... you can generate infinite variations of the same kind of song, the fact is that you can generate it with a program, or the music can selfvariates. The procedural information in the music may study what's the best to do for a user and a moment given...
I think another path to investigate could be darwinian or envolving music, that will be closer over time to a situation given or expected.....
I hope you catch my idea well!! :-)
