  Keygen composes original music in the form of midi files. (by cyberrumor)

I've been playing guitar for 10 ish years. I didn't start learning music theory until I decided I wanted to write software that automatically generates songs (example song). Studying has helped me much more with this program than it has with guitar, but it's made me better at guitar too. Everything I learn, I try to incorporate into this software. It's still in its infancy, but it's really rewarding to work on. Since it generates midi files, you can throw whatever instruments you want at it, which opens up a huge variety of genres it can create (especially if you're willing to get your hands dirty and tune song structure, melody rhythm, etc).
