 Interactive music   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Interactive music is normally viewed from a technical rather than an aesthetic perspective.
Although many of the methods of generating interactive music are still reliant on the purely modular approach, what is required is an outlook based more on a halfway point between this modular approach and the generative approach.
Interactivity can be based on very complex rules, but it need not be any more complicated than creating a track in ACID or some other loop based sequencer and exporting each individual piece of the score in the modular forms described earlier.

 Composing for Interactive Music
Music that works well with a game, especially music that is ready and able to change itself unpredictably is likely to be boring if listened to by itself.
Music that changes in response to gamestate has to be set up to respond to signals from the game program itself, and this just isn't in the MIDI spec.
If you’re a producer looking to set a spec for interactive music in your project, of if you’re a composer and the producer asks you to choose the ways in which the music will respond to the gamestate, be sure not to overdo it.
