Abstract
Algorithmic composition involves the application of systematic mathematical methods to the compositional process. Sequences of pitches, rhythms, or other musical elements are manipulated as if they were abstract mathematical symbols, and the resultant music contains patterns that can either be simple enough to recognize audibly or so complex that they are revealed only through detailed score analysis.
