1. Computer Generated Jazz
By Chris Wynnyk

2. The Basics Break down into rhythm, melody, harmony
Focused on effective accompaniment rhythms in the style of Bill Evans
Markov algorithm approach to computer learning.

3. The Markov Algorithm
For each set of characters, creates weighted prediction matrix from the input.
Set order to determine creativity.
Output is a random but weighted.
Ex: order 2, Input: AABAABAAC would create an entry for AA predicting that the next letter is 2/3 likely to be B, 1/3 C
