Humans have been experimenting with the production of rhythmic sounds for aesthetic effect for millennia. Considering the extensive search through possibility space that this represents, I'm skeptical that a machine aided search could discover new local optima with a significantly greater aesthetic effect.


Human were also searching the space of Go moves for centuries, but AI completely blew us away.
