Evomusic

1  Introduction

Evomusic deals with automatic composition of music (midi-files) using evolutionary algorithms. Currently we are testing multiple approaches for doing this successfully (especially neural networks and/or algorithms based on simple music theory), so don't expect us to be more precise until we finally found a way it works the way we like it. ;-) Evomusic is hosted by sourceforge.net. The licence of our choice is GPL. All development is done in Java.

2  Getting the latest version

Until now there has been no release, so you can only download a copy of our work using CVS. The latest snapshot is available here. In both cases, you will have to compile it on your own. For your convenience, we suggest using a good IDE, like Eclipse or Netbeans. Maybe you will also need a copy of jMusic, the library which is used for reading and writing midi-files. If you speak german, you can also have a look at the current discussion between the developers.
