Many-to-Many Skeletal-Graphs Matching Approach to Shape Recognition

A method and system for automatically generating an entire musical arrangement including melody and accompaniment on a computer. The invention combines predetermined, short musical phrases modified by selection of random parameters to produce a data stream that can be used to drive a MIDI synthesizer and generate music.
