Microsoft Research has developed a piece of software called MySong that will automatically generate a chord progression that accompanies any given melody. Check out the video for a demo.
It does a reasonably good job, but it's not going to generate the next big hit.Still, it seems like an interesting tool for people without the song-writing skills to do something unique for loved ones, or even for song-writers to use as an input or starting point for writing a song.
I'd love to see this in a future version of GarageBand, or whatever the Microsoft equivalent will be. And of course, I for one welcome our computer music generating overlords.
