Professor David Cope, who made and named Emily (from the initials of Experiments in Musical Intelligence), reports having tricked listeners. An academic who was played Howell's Op 1 – a piano concerto, called From Darkness, Light – warmed to its sound, then rapidly chilled when advised where it came from.Some of the suspicion of Howell is not artistic, but a primitive robot-phobia. More or less since the invention of the wheel, homo sapiens has hovered between a desire for machines to take over the messy or tedious stuff – waste-disposal, production line work – and a dread of eventual human redundancy in the interesting bits of existence: art, chess, sex. With the advent of Emily, composers and critics of classical music feel as actors do when they note the box-office popularity of computer-generated movies. What used to be a jokey proposition about probability – the chance that monkeys on typewriters would eventually create the works of Shakespeare – has been replaced by the genuine fear that an untouched keyboard may soon start writing plays.
