Here are some sample music automatically generated by an artificial chemistry. These works were produced without human intellect, so we claim no intellectual property rights on them, except for the results of musical arrangements by human.
All the following phrases (sequence of notes and chords) were automatically generated without human intervention. They were then made into sound files with the piano tone, or arranged by a human to have additional voices such as percussions.
The following paper illustrates how a four-bar 8th-note phrase can be automatically generated.

The following phrase is composed of two upper and lower melodies. Both are generated by the artificial chemistry.
The overview of how they were generated is found in the following paper.

We generated beats using the artificial-chemistry simulator and add them to a generated phrase and chords.
The method to generate beats will be published soon.
