An absolute great explanation about how these computers work,so basically if you havve stored 2 foto's on a computer the computer only stores the differences between those foto's to save space to later reverse the process once you want to look to your foto's again.

Unfortunately you'd still need one image to compare your difference data with, which would not save space. XOR (exclusive or) 'difference' data for two or more datasets/images can however be used for redundancy. RAID storage does this so you can rebuild any single dataset; eg. due to a corrupt or faulty hard drive.

I agree and my comments were in favour of the human strengths when creating music. However I did once allow a computer to compose a sequence of chords for part of a song of mine, after I had defined the criteria and it did a wonderful job. There was no actual performance required just merely chord choices, but wow they were rich and textured with a strong scope for melody. So perhaps allowing computers a small and user supervised input is best?

This is what happens when you let scientists try and do what musicians do... One plays and composes from the heart, the other entirely from the mind with cold logic.
