Clara Empricost

Clara Empricost stands for “Condition List Action Rejection Algorithm for the Evaluation of Music at Pseudo-Random Idea COnstruction STage”.  It is a C++ program that is supposed to generate music.  I wrote it at school in 1996 as an experiment; it generated some interest in the now-defunct Cambridge University New Music Society toward the end of 1997 and has since been featured in a Generative Creativity course at Sussex University.
