INTRODUCTION Applications are widely studied in: Medicine Computer Science Physics Mathematics Research in artistic application is slim.
SOME BASIC MUSICAL TERMS Melody: A sequence of single tones, which a listener perceives as a single entity.
Pitch: The quality that makes it possible to judge sounds as “higher” or “lower. ”
Duration: How long a note lasts.
MUSIC PRODUCTION AND GENERATION
BRIEF HISTORY OF MUSIC GENERATION Australia’s Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) installed a speaker to track the progress of running a program. Geoff Hill programmed a computer to playback a tune in 1951 Illiac Suite – Composed by a computer at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 1950 s Max Mathews develops MUSIC III, which synthesizes sounds on an IBM 7094 computer.

GAUSSIAN FUNCTION
CHOOSING NOTES – MARKOV CHAIN 1 2 Rule 1: If C 4, then E 4, G 4, or A 4 9 Rule 2: If D 4, then C 4 or F 4 Rule 3: If E 4, then G 4 3 7 Rule 4: If F 4, then A 4 or D 4 4 Rule 5: If G 4, then C 4 or B 4 Rule 6: If A 4, then B 4 or D 4 8 5 Rule 7: If B 4, then C 5 Rule 8: If C 5, then F 4 or E 4. 6
SOME PROBLEMS WITH QUANTUM COMPUTING APPROACHES Algorithms are different than in classical computing No cloning principle – A quantum system can not be replicated.

HOW DOES IT BECOME MUSIC?
IN CONCLUSION… There is still a lot to be discovered. Limitations exist Resources Money Knowledge
