I am looking for a compose software.
I don't mean a program to help a human to compose, but a program which compose itself.
I heard in the past (about 1987) ther was some, but they were not for public, but for games developer companies.
May be nowadays there are some nice program to do this.
Does someone know something about?
Thanks!

Do you want a program that actually composes without any prior musical knowledge or one that puts together known pieces?

Dunno, i think both things at once.
I want one which puts together notes, spaces, timbres and effects in a coherent way.

Band in a Box. It might be the closest to what you want.

I like this one: http://www.softaward.com/3603.html but it's neither automatic nor does it create the music from scratch. But it's still cool.

Thanks all,
Band in A Box seems the best.
The music demos i have downloaded from the others are very far from the music quality of the ones i downloaded there in 1987-88 from a japanise program for music composing. The japanise ones was much more better. So seems that this has not evolutionated the better

Thanks , Roberto (Einander) for your multiple links based on fractals tech to make music.
