Abstract

A music composing system comprises a plurality of music composing blocks 20, 30, 40, 50, 60. Each block comprises a music composing means 16 for composing modified music based on initial and target music sections provided to the block. Block 20 stores initial music I.sub.2. When a user places block 20 within a predetermined range of block 30, block 20 transmits its initial music section 12 over a wireless Local Area Network 100 to block 30. Block 30 then composes a modified section of music M.sub.3 on the basis of its initial music section I.sub.3, using the received initial music I.sub.2 of block 20 as a target. Block 30 produces a plurality of copies of initial music I.sub.3, and mutates each copy of the music to provide a plurality of mutated sections of music. Block 30 assesses the similarity of the mutated sections of music to the target, I.sub.2, and retains those mutated sections which are more similar to I.sub.2 than its initial music I.sub.3. Block 30 continues to mutate successive generations of music sections until a section with a similarity of 50% to the target I.sub.2 is produced. Block 30 then outputs this mutated section of music as its modified music M.sub.3. Block 40 receives M.sub.3, and uses it as the target in a composition process based on its initial music I.sub.4, to produce a modified section of music M.sub.4. Block 40 then begins to play its modified music M.sub.4 for assessment by a user. The process is continued to provide music for the entertainment of the user.
