Automated "Wow" Generation In Musical Composition
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper reports research to identify and then reverse engineer what evokes a ‘wow’ emotional response in listeners of musical compositions. The results of this analysis have then been compared to a systematic innovation methodology built on the analysis of close to three million innovations observed from a wide spectrum of human endeavour in order to identify similarities and differences. The result of this analysis is the fact that all of the examined musical ‘wows’ could be seen to fit precisely into a very small number of established patterns of inventive thinking. A final section of the paper discusses the possibility that these inventive patterns can be built into software-based composition tools in such a way that new ‘wow’ moments can be generated in an at least partially automated fashion.

A Distributed Approach to Musical Composition
Current techniques for automated composition use a single algorithm, focusing on one aspect of musical generation. In our system we make use of several algorithms, distributed using an agent oriented middleware, with each specialising on a separate aspect of composition. This paper describes the architecture and algorithms behind this system, with a focus on the agent framework used for impleme...
متن کاملMusic generation using cellular models
Music is an art form that is created by people who draw inspiration from a variety of sources. However, the basis of music is an organization of sound frequencies, timed in a certain manner. Using the basic principles of music, it is possible to develop a mechanism for the automatic generation of music. The goal of this research project is to explore the mapping of cellular models into musical ...
متن کاملNew Algorithms for Wow and Flutter Detection and Compensation in Audio
New algorithms were developed for discriminating wow from natural musical effects, such as: periodicity detection by means of autocorrelation signal, algorithm employing AR model for power line hum frequency detection and algorithm for estimating pitch variation curve employing wow tracking based on recording bias detection in magnetic recordings. Moreover. non-uniform resampling routine was im...
متن کاملAutomated Horizontal Orchestration based on Multichannel Musical Recordings
Orchestration of computer-aided music composition aims to approximate musical expression using vertical instrument sound combinations, i.e. through finding appropriate sets of instruments to replicate synthesized sound samples. In this work, we focus on horizontal orchestration replication, i.e. the potential of replicating the instantaneous intensity variation of a number of instruments that c...
متن کاملGlobal Expectation-Violation as Fitness Function in Evolutionary Composition
Previous approaches to Common Practice Period style automated composition – such as Markov models and Context-Free Grammars (CFGs) – do not well characterise global, context-sensitive structure of musical tension and release. Using local musical expectation violation as a measure of tension, we show how global tension structure may be extracted from a source composition and used in a fitness fu...
