Just came across a fantastic article about a composer’s struggle to gain acceptance after creating a phenomenal AI Composing system Emmy.

Her successor Emily Howell adds elements of personality and interactivity to the mix. A brilliant read about her creator’s story and some samples of the music created by Emily.
