I have used something called Wombo Dream to make some pretty interesting AI art. I'm sure there are plenty of people who understand how to use it a fuck of a lot better than I do, but still, I was pretty much content with how some of my attempts turned out. I just input the name of an MC Escher drawing, and the name of some funky architect or building, and it does cool things. Oh, I should try entering album covers... like, just give it the name of an album, and it will find the image on its own.

I know what you mean about modern music. There must be decent music getting made, somewhere out there, but it's a lot of work to find it. Argh.
