Musicians Algorithmically Generate Every Possible Melody, Release Them to Public Domain on Internet Archive.
To determine the finite nature of melodies, Riehl and Rubin developed an algorithm that recorded every possible 8-note, 12-beat melody combo. This used the same basic tactic some hackers use to guess passwords: Churning through every possible combination of notes until none remained. Riehl says this algorithm works at a rate of 300,000 melodies per second.</blcokquote>
Damien Riehl and Noah Rubin generated and saved every possible melody to a hard drive, then turned it back around to the commons.
