Yeah, I make electronic music and I'm really interested in algorithmic techniques as an aid to the composer too.
I have python scripts that just generate many minutes worth of music in an instant, and then I comb through the result and cut out the interesting parts for further processing. It's a really productive technique and you hit on melodies and rhythms that normally a human wouldn't.
If AI is used as a tool to help composers become more productive it would be a massive hit. The ability to create new interesting stuff in less time is valuable.
