Opportunities for Evolutionary Music Composition
نویسنده
چکیده
Traditional compositional techniques and many computer-assisted composition systems have been focused on the production of linear musical products. In an age where non-linear media are increasingly prominent there is a need to reassess these technologies in the light of new opportunities for making music with non-linear outcomes. This paper examines the current state of music making for non-linear media with a particular emphasis on evolutionary music and how and where it might be applied. In addition, some of the implications for computer-based tool design will be outlined.

Evolutionary Composition of Music with Learned Melody Evaluation
We describe our approach for the automatic composition of monophone melodies on a user given chord sequence. For this purpose we use evolutionary algorithms for the music generation with automatically learned classifiers next to interactive evaluation as fitness functions. Key–Words: computational intelligence, music, composition, classification, data mining
متن کاملEvolving Cellular Automata for Music Composition with Trainable Fitness Functions
This thesis focused on the application of evolutionary computational techniques for music composition. Conventionally, the music evaluator in an evolutionary music composition system is either a human operating the system interactively, or a knowledge-based system. The objective of this study was to investigate a novel approach to music composition that combines a machine-learning based evaluat...
متن کاملCorpus-taught Evolutionary Music Composition
In this paper we present a music composition system that uses a corpus-based multi-objective evolutionary algorithm. We model the composition process using a Turing-complete virtual register machine to render musical models. These are evaluated using a series of fitness tests, which judge the statistical similarity of the model against a corpus of real music. We demonstrate that the methodology...
متن کاملInteractive Music Composition with Evolutionary Computation
This article presents an interactive music composition system which utilizes the black-box optimization model of evolutionary computation. The core CFE framework—Composition, Feedback, and Evolution—is presented and described. The music composition system produces short, manageable pieces of music by interacting with users. The essential features of the system include the capability of creating...
متن کاملA Corpus-Based Hybrid Approach to Music Analysis and Composition
We present a corpus-based hybrid approach to music analysis and composition, which incorporates statistical, connectionist, and evolutionary components. Our framework employs artificial music critics, which may be trained on large music corpora, and then pass aesthetic judgment on music artifacts. Music artifacts are generated by an evolutionary music composer, which utilizes music critics as f...
