I think we may be blurring the line between algorithmic and generative here (perhaps the line is not clear to begin with), but you should definitely check out Context: https://youtu.be/oHnRsi3saXI. It's very good at handling Markov chains and doing the sorts of things that Chris is describing.

Hello!
For a university project I want to develop a melody generator which has to transform a colloquial input (e.g. happy) into a melody which clearly represents this input.
I am currently reading and looking for literature ..
What is your experience with algorithmic sound/melody generation in Pd? Do you know any algorithms? Have you heard of something or somebody who is doing a lot with algorithms in Pd?
there is a blog for algorithmic composition that explains basic concepts with Pd, e.g. Markov chains: http://www.algorithmiccomposer.com/2011/06/second-order-markov-chains-in-pur...
I was also playing around with ideas for an app, maybe my notes and my Pd code can help you: https://github.com/residuum/Life-Soundtrack https://github.com/residuum/Life-Soundtrack/blob/master/notes.md
