Competition to programme a standardised synthesiser or
electronic keyboard with a single (albeit presumably very
complicated) equation, in order to produce the "best" music.
Points are awarded for structure, tone, progression,
originality and toe-tapping catchiness.

Not what I (or you) were looking for, but almost. [zen_tom, May 30 2012]

This is what I was looking for before - it's not quite music, unless you're Brian Eno. [zen_tom, May 30 2012]

If the complication of the "single" equation is
unlimited, you could just program in the Fourier
transform of a nice bit of Bach. |

//nice bit of Bach// Hardly original, don't you think? |

Mayhap, points can be awarded (on a sliding scale)
relating to the number of characters in the equation
you use. I don't want it to be a case of just
programming the desired notes. I want the algorithm
to flow and ebb unpredictably, or infinitely, like the
musical version of a fractal... |

Hey, wait a minute! I thought this was about Al Gore! (he invented the algorithm) Nevermind. <walks away mumbling> |

Since musical scores tend to have repetitious sections, it seems to me that the simplest algorhythm could be found in the reciprocals of various numbers. If the number is a prime, say larger than a thousand, then you can likely compute a thousand notes before it starts repeating. |

Isn't this what Vangelis and similar musicians do
already? |
