Yet, since only the output of the system is tested (that is, system and interface design are ignored), any generative technique can be employed. These tests may be associated with the broader historical context of human-versus-machine tests, as demonstrated in the American folk-tale of John Henry versus the steam hammer (Nelson 2006) or the more recent competition of Garry Kasparov versus Deep Blue (Hsu 2002). Some tests attempt to avoid measures of subjective quality by measuring perceived conformity to known musical artifacts. These musical artifacts are often used to create the music being tested: they are the source of important generative parameters, data, or models. The design goals of a system provide context for these types of tests. Pearce, Meredith, and Wiggins (2002, p. 120) define four motivations for the development of generative music systems: (1) composer-designed tools for personal use, (2) tools designed for general compositional use, (3) âtheories of a musical style . . . implemented as computer programs,â and (4) âcognitive theories of the processes
