I appreciate your answer and your experience, but If you can go for a jog while your computer spits out music for a client, that’s not a tool. The computer is doing the composing, and you are taking credit for it. That’s the part that I don’t understand - taking the credit for something a computer is artificially generating. Oh sure, computers can do that, just like they can write a book. I’m just not sure why anyone would actually enjoy listening to it. I’d rather hear you play guitar. I bet you are quite good.
Regarding my process, I write for either piano or guitar first, then decide whether I want to embelish with other instruments. If so, I will try to get humans to play those parts, because call me crazy, but I want my music to sound human, not a computer-generated algorithm. Humans will always create art more significant than a computer.
