    Musical Composition Part 1
    (Stanford Channel (Television station : Stanford, Calif.), 1997) Hofstadter, Douglas R.
    This fourth symposium was about a particular computer program -- David Cope’s “EMI” (later renamed as “Emmy”) -- as a composer of music in the style of various classical composers.

Among the speakers in that symposium were David Cope himself and noted philosopher Dan Dennett.
