Editing Algorithmic composition (section)

===Evo-Devo approach===
[[evolutionary algorithm|Evolutionary]] methods, combined with developmental processes, constitute the ''evo-devo'' approach for generation and optimization of complex structures. These methods have also been applied to music composition, where the musical structure is obtained by an iterative process that transform a very simple composition (made of a few notes) into a complex fully-fledged piece (be it a score, or a MIDI file).<ref name="Nature">{{cite journal|last=Ball|first=Philip|author-link=Philip Ball|title=Algorithmic Rapture|journal=[[Nature (journal)|Nature]]|volume=188|issue=7412|year=2012|page=456|doi=10.1038/488458a|doi-access=free}}</ref><ref name="AI survey">{{cite journal|last1=Fernandez|first1=JD|last2=Vico|first2=F|title=AI Methods in Algorithmic Composition: A Comprehensive Survey.|journal=[[Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research]]|date=2013|volume=48|pages=513–582|doi=10.1613/jair.3908|doi-access=free|arxiv=1402.0585}}</ref>
