Has anybody heard anything like this? Pic related, this guy created a program that could generate music in the style of Mozart.

Turns out that Brian Eno was a big endorser of generative music. He made an album "Generative Music 1" but it was extremely limited in print.

Brian Eno - Discreet Music

I read a book about that. Sounds really cool. Wasn't able to find that album or anything like it then I forgot about it.
I've read Gareth Loy's Musimathics volumes and found it incredibly comprehensive.

This dude has been posting in the bandcamp threads about how he made this album entirely in MATLAB; not sure if it's what you're looking for tho

A music professor at my school writes algorithmic music. I believe what he does is devises an algorithm and runs it through a computer program to generate the notes and then tweaks the result. But I'm not 100% positive on that.

The method of composition comes off as somewhat artificial for the obvious reason of involving a computer, but it can be interesting if you're in the mood for atonal music. I find it exhausting to listen to for extended periods of time.
