Aid to Music Composition Employing a Random‐Probability System

A Music Database and Query System for Recombinant Composition

We propose a design and implementation for a music information database and query system, the MusicDB, which can be used for Music Information Retrieval (MIR). The MusicDB is implemented as a Java package, and is loaded in MaxMSP using the mxj external. The MusicDB contains a music analysis module, capable of extracting musical information from standard MIDI files, and a search engine. The sear...

FMOL: A System for Collaborative Music Composition over the Web

In this paper the authors propose a new architecture and new features for collaborative music composition. These design principles have been applied, without any loss of generality, to a system that has already been extensively tested on-line for the last three years, and which has allowed composers from around the world to participate in the collective creation of two important theatrical scor...

A Constraint Programming System for Music Composition, Preliminary Results

We propose an environment for musical constraint solving, adapted to contemporary composition, in the visual programming language OpenMusic. The composer start with a predefined score and set constraint between some objects in a visual way. These constraints are translated in a specific syntax in order to be solved using an algorithm of adaptive research. Adaptive search refines the concept of ...

Music as a sleep aid in fibromyalgia.

BACKGROUND Interventions to improve sleep in fibromyalgia may generalize to improvements in multiple symptom domains. Delta-embedded music, pulsating regularly within the 0.25 Hz to 4 Hz frequency band of brain wave activity, has the potential to induce sleep. OBJECTIVES To assess the effects of a delta-embedded music program over four weeks for sleep induction in patients with fibromyalgia. ...
