Evolving Musical Harmonisation

چکیده
We describe a series of experiments in generating traditional musical harmony using Genetic Algorithms. We discuss some problems which are specific to the musical domain, and conclude that a GA with no notion of meta-level control of the reasoning process is unlikely to solve the harmonisation problem well.

HARMONY: A System for Musical Composition
This paper describes HARMONY: a system that integrates the phases that take part in the creation of a musical composition. The kernel deals with automatic melody generation through fractal algorithms and harmonisation of generated melodies based on traditional theory. The system has been developed in Haskell and works on top of the musical description system Haskore. HARMONY: A System for Music...
متن کاملGenetic Approaches for Evolving Form in Musical Composition
An approach of evolving form in musical composition is presented here. The use of genetic algorithms in musical composition is not new but rather energetically active field of research and experiments. However, the approach presented within this paper differs from other genetic composition approaches in twofold. First, samples of musical ideas (one note or more) and not individual MIDI notes ar...
متن کاملMultiple Viewpoint Systems: Time Complexity and the Construction of Domains for Complex Musical Viewpoints in the Harmonisation Problem
We discuss the problem of automatic four-part harmonisation: given a soprano part, add alto, tenor and bass in accordance with the compositional practices of a particular musical era. In particular, we focus on the development of representational and modelling techniques, within the framework of multiple viewpoint systems and Prediction by Partial Match (PPM), for the creation of statistical mo...
متن کاملExploring musical interaction between a teacher and pupil, and her evolving musicality, using a music- theoretical approach
In the context of a single case study, this paper explores the musical interaction between a pupil and teacher, and the pupil’s evolving musicality, using the music-theoretical approach to the cognition of musical structure set out by Ockelford (2002, 2004, 2005a, 2005b, 2006a) – ‘zygonic theory’. The object of the study is a vocal improvisation by ‘K’, a 4 1⁄2 -year-old girl with septo-optic d...
متن کاملProcessing structure in language and music: a case for shared reliance on cognitive control.
The relationship between structural processing in music and language has received increasing interest in the past several years, spurred by the influential Shared Syntactic Integration Resource Hypothesis (SSIRH; Patel, Nature Neuroscience, 6, 674-681, 2003). According to this resource-sharing framework, music and language rely on separable syntactic representations but recruit shared cognitive...
