I think we may be blurring the line between algorithmic and generative here (perhaps the line is not clear to begin with), but you should definitely check out Context: <a href="https://youtu.be/oHnRsi3saXI" id="LPNoLP195160">https://youtu.be/oHnRsi3saXI</a>.
It's very good at handling Markov chains and doing the sorts of things that Chris is describing.</div>

there is a blog for algorithmic composition that explains basic concepts<br>
with Pd, e.g. Markov chains:<br>

<br>
I was also playing around with ideas for an app, maybe my notes and my<br>
Pd code can help you:<br>
