Not even "MobyGames" has anything on it.

It was created by Sid "Civilization" Meier.
It took algorithms and applied them to Bach's musical patterns enabling the computer to compose new Bach music the way Bach would've done it & according to his rules.

Anyone have any info?


Later!

I don't know that much about it, other than that it WAS released. There's even one on Ebay right now.

Yep, it does exist (I owned it at one time). The only thing I can really remember about it was a huge group of violins playing all by themselves. Rather freaky, but kind of cool.

Oh, that Sid Meier. A computer that composes like Bach, how awesome. :)
