coJIVE: A System to Support Collaborative Jazz Improvisation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Jazz improvisation is a complex and demanding art of on-the-fly composition and performance. We present coJIVE, a system that allows musically inexperienced people to improvise to jazz by substituting for musical knowledge and experience. Using well-established musical theory, it aids users in creating a harmonic performance, and also helps coordinate a collaborative session amongst the participants. Remarks from users during evaluation showed an overall positive response to the support provided by the system.

متن کاملA Fitness Function for Creativity in Jazz Improvisation and Beyond
Can a computer evolve creative entities based on how creative they are? Taking the domain of jazz improvisation, this ongoing work investigates how creativity can be evolved and evaluated by a computational system. The aim is for the system to work with minimal human assistance, as autonomously as possible. The system employs a genetic algorithm to evolve musical parameters for algorithmic jazz...
