We explain the structure of a typical GA, and outline existing work on the use of GAs in computer music. We propose that the addition of domain-specific knowledge can enhance the quality and speed of production of GA results, and describe two systems which exemplify this. However, we conclude that GAs are not ideal for the simulation of human musical thought (notwithstanding their ability to produce good results) because their operation in no way simulates human behaviour.

The experiment aims to determine whether it is possible in principle to develop a system which uses both the structure of a piece and real-time performance data from a human musician to provide an expressive performance.
