> But doing automated dance music makes sense. This has been done with LSTM[1][2]. Impressively, the NN is generating waveforms and not MIDI notes - at around 3:50 it even attempts some singing. [1]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VTI1BBLydE [2]: https://github.com/MattVitelli/GRUV

I'm quite sure I have seen other attempts to generate music with RNNs recently, although I don't remember exactly anymore. You don't cite that many references to other approaches, only the one from Boulanger-Lewandowski from 2012. I did a quick search, and I probably miss a lot, but I found these: http://papers.nips.cc/paper/5655-deep-temporal-sigmoid-belie... http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2806383 http://gitxiv.com/posts/WEoQCj8hxHz6vPxe6/gruv-algorithmic-m... https://github.com/MattVitelli/GRUV http://www.hexahedria.com/2015/08/03/composing-music-with-re... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10028878 I haven't really looked into any of these, so I'm not sure about the differences. But it would be good if you cite some relevant other works and point out the differences.
