Art, it was once said, is anything you can get away with. So it is not surprising that evolutionary approaches to music and art research are challenging our notions of what is classified as "Art" and who is the "creator" of this work. The relatively new field of Evolutionary Music and Art (EMA) falls within the spectrum of Evolutionary Computing. If EC is a relatively young discipline, then EMA is even more so, if we consider Richard Dawkins' "Blind Watchmaker" software (1986) as the epoch in this field. 1 Dawkins' goal was to demonstrate the power of evolution as a design algorithm, one that could design complexity without the need for an explicit designer. It did not take long for people interested in creativity and aesthetics to grasp the significance of this idea and how it might be used to create a new class of art and design: one that was evolved rather than directly created.
