Yeah, actually Lejaren Hiller created some of the first AI music back in the
mid- to late 50s with a work written for string quartet (“Illiac Suite”).
He’s best known on LP with a wonderful album he did with John Cage on Nonesuch.
Eno gets a lot of scratch in the various media because of
his “unusual” background and presentation, but much of what he’s
credited for usually had their roots earlier - sometimes much earlier.
Much of AI created music is not usually used in just its raw form, but, instead, it’s
used as a kind of springboard for new ideas that you can extrapolate further. I use it
and have created various scripts for creating it so as to jog the creative juices at times.
