Investigating morphing algorithms for generative music
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents our research into morphing algorithms for generating musical transitions, including digitally inspired composing techniques as well as models of existing creative processes. We show that it is possible to generate effective morphs between contrasting musical passages and describe some ways in which iterative developments seem to have improved the musicality of the generated material. The paper begins by outlining the potential of musical morphing processes and introducing important considerations. Relevant existing research and music theory is then summarised. Following this, our developments of morphing algorithms are detailed and some evaluation criteria are proposed. The article concludes by discussing the apparent results achieved by these morphing algorithms and what they indicate about directions for further research.

Melody Morphing Method Based on GTTM
This paper describes a melody morphing method that generates an intermediate melody between a melody and another melody with a systematic order according to a certain numerical measure. Conventional music sequence software only operates on the surface structure of music, such as its notes and rests. The time-span tree, which is acquired from the music surface by using a music theory called GTTM...
متن کاملMelodic Morphing Algorithm in Formalism
We introduce a feature structure, corresponding to a timespan tree based on ‘A Generative Theory of Tonal Music’ (GTTM) for a music piece, and represent the reduction of the tree by the subsumption among these feature structures. As the collection of them forms a lattice, we can define the join and meet operations. We show a melodic morphing algorithm based on these simple operations.

متن کاملComputational Music Theory and its Applications to Expressive Performance and Composition
This chapter describes a music analysis system based on a generative theory of tonal music (GTTM). Musical theory provides methodologies for analyzing and transcribing musical knowledge, experiences, and skills from a musician's way of thinking. Our concern is whether the concepts necessary for music analysis are sufficiently externalized in musical theory. Given its ability to formalize musica...
