• Counterpoint by Convolution (2019, methodology): “A notable composition is Hiller and Issacson’s string quartet Illiac Suite [18], which experiments with statistical sequence models such as Markov chains.”
• AI Methods in Algorithmic Composition: A Comprehensive Survey (2013, methodology): “The most known early work on algorithmic composition is an example: classical rules for counterpoint were used in the generation of the first and second movements of the Illiac Suite (Hiller & Isaacson, 1958).”
