Why Computer Generated Music?

If you've ever tried composing music, the answer must be obvious.* What a grind, both mentally, emotionally and physically -- right, actually the grind has three components: mental, emotional, physical, and hygienic. And then even when I do get a decent idea, i can't come up with anything else to go with it. I just listen to it over and over at high volume and with more and more effects until I get "earsick" as my 4 y/o daughter calls it. (Except she loves the music she writes, thank God.) It's always such a relief to go scoop out the cat boxes, shovel snow, or make some bread. (My bread is pretty good.)

So my dream is that, in the future, computers will perform all creative work, leaving humanity free to spend all of our time on mindless, repetitive tasks.


*Unless you have talent or something. I don't want to hear about it. You'd be "happier somewhere else," in Jack Nicholson's voice as the Joker from Batman.
