yup! I've been playing with live genetic programming ideas.
my live music system:

uses genetic programming and livecoding interchangably, allowing you to hack
evolved lsystem rules, or evolve hand written rules - used to create musical
scores.
the genetic interface (the breeder) lets you audition four mutated variations,
and pick one for further mutation.
this isn't really classical GP though, I'm also developing this:

for evolving synth patches, which uses standard Koza style GP.

As you can see - I've avoided fitness functions, as they are really bloody
tricky, and means the GP enters the realms of generative art.
I really prefer manual selection for this application, it appeals more to my
sense of serendipity, and trying to figure out fitness functions to to make
different types of music seems too much of a boring academic exercise for a
hacker like me :)
