Emily Howell is a computer program created by David Cope,[1] Dickerson Emeriti Professor of Music at UC Santa Cruz.
[2][3] Emily Howell is an interactive interface that "hears" feedback from listeners, and builds its own musical compositions from a source database, derived from a previous composing program called Experiments in Musical Intelligence (EMI).
[4] Cope attempts to “teach” the program by providing feedback so that it can cultivate its own "personal" style.
[5] Emily Howell's first album[6] was released in February 2009 by Centaur Records (CRC 3023).
Its second album Breathless was released in December 2012 by Centaur Records (CRC 3255).
