Using cellular automata to generate music may not be new, but I haven't seen this specific method used. Nor have I seen anything that compares to the way it subtly changes as it develops while still maintaining a steady beat without resorting to resetting the pattern as in your example. (Correct me if I am wrong though; I'm not a musician.)

This is the classic one from 1990 I believe: http://tamw.atari-users.net/camus.htm
I do think the one linked in this post is a particularly nice one, and yeah the way it develops while maintaining a beat I think is fairly unusual.
