Listen to this classical music composed in the style of Bach by a deep-learning machine

The composer starts with a well-known tune which is sung by the soprano and then composes three harmonies sung by the alto, tenor, and bass voices. That raises an interesting question: could a machine create chorales in the same style of Bach? Hadjeres and Pachet begin by creating a data set to train their neural network. "This method is not only applicable to Bach chorales but embraces a wide range of polyphonic chorale music, from Palestrina to Take 6," say Hadjeres and Pachet.
