A Novelty Search and Power-Law-Based Genetic Algorithm for Exploring Harmonic Spaces in J.S. Bach Chorales
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a novel, real-time system, called Harmonic Navigator, for exploring the harmonic space in J.S. Bach Chorales. This corpus-based environment explores trajectories through harmonic space. It supports visual exploration and navigation of harmonic transition probabilities through interactive gesture control. These probabilities are computed from musical corpora (in MIDI format). Herein we utilize the 371 J.S. Bach Chorales of the Riemenschneider edition. Our system utilizes a hybrid novelty search approach combined with power-law metrics for evaluating fitness of individuals, as a search termination criterion. We explore how novelty search can aid in the discovery of new harmonic progressions through this space as represented by a Markov model capturing probabilities of transitions between harmonies. Our results demonstrate that the 371 Bach Chorale harmonic space is rich with novel aesthetic possibilities, possibilities that the grand master himself never realized.

Protection systems have vital role in network reliability in short circuit mode and proper operating for relays. Current transformer often in transient and saturation under short circuit mode causes mal-operation of relays which will have undesirable effects. Therefore, proper and quick identification of Current transformer saturation is so important. In this paper, an Artificial Neural Network...
متن کاملDeepBach: a Steerable Model for Bach Chorales Generation
The composition of polyphonic chorale music in the style of J.S Bach has represented a major challenge in automatic music composition over the last decades. The art of Bach chorales composition involves combining four-part harmony with characteristic rhythmic patterns and typical melodic movements to produce musical phrases which begin, evolve and end (cadences) in a harmonious way. To our know...
