This book discusses the applications of evolutionary computation to music and the tools needed to create and study such systems. These tools can be combined to create surrogate artificial worlds populated by interacting simulated organisms in which complex musical experiments can be performed. The book demonstrates that evolutionary systems can be used to create and to study musical compositions and cultures in ways that have never before been achieved.

From the reviews: "Evolutionary computation currently plays a dual role in the analysis and development of musical compositions and ideas. ! help musicologists understand the transformation of musical theory and the adaptation of musical components over time. ! This book investigates not only the applications of evolutionary computation to music, but also the components needed to compose musical pieces and the systems that integrate these technologies. ! this book is a welcome source of information."
