That's how I feel - the tone of this writing irks me a bit. I don't want to detract at all from the work these authors did, I like it a lot. But the text here is fluffy and frankly somewhat narcissistic.
Lejaren Hiller showed that computers can compose competent music in 1957 with the Illiac Suite. Since then there have been countless other using computers doing things like the project in this article (Autechre is a PERFECT example).
I love that people are doing work like this and sharing it (full disclosure, this is a hobby of mine), but I wish it were presented in a less pretentious way (although admittedly this comment could probably also be a lot less pretentious).
