Abstract This paper uses finite element differential equations to control the frequency of occurrence pop music notes. method avoids repetition dissonant notes in song. The motivation for inspiration is used as a template system. Various musical techniques and rules are added composition process. algorithm enables form variety other representations. equation 1/f noise ratio theory verify that n...

A new general methodology for Musical Pattern Discovery is proposed, which tries to mimic the flow of cognitive and sub-cognitive inferences that are processed when hearing a piece of music. A brief survey shows the necessity to handle such perceptual heuristics and to specify perceptual constraints on discoverable structures. For instance, successive notes between patterns should verify a spec...

Music, sound and brain activity share similarities in how we can measure or create them, namely as combinations of time-dependent processes (repetition and history) and time-independent events (discontinuous, nonlinear or catastrophic processes). Furthermore, time is fundamental in how we measure both brain activity and sound objectively, and how we define relationships e.g. between notes as we...

Music can be used both to direct and enhance the impact a story can have on its listeners. This work makes use of two creative systems to provide emotionally-targeted musical accompaniment for stories. One system assigns emotional labels to text, and the other generates original musical compositions with targeted emotional content. We use these two programs to generate music to accompany audio ...

The sonata form has been one of the most important large-scale musical structures used since the early Classical period. Typically, the first movements of symphonies and sonatas follow the sonata form, which (in its most basic form) starts with an exposition and a repetition thereof, continues with a development, and closes with a recapitulation. The recapitulation can be regarded as an altered...

Humans tend to organize perceived information into hierarchies and structures, a principle that also applies to music. Even musically untrained listeners unconsciously analyze and segment music with regard to various musical aspects, for example, identifying recurrent themes or detecting temporal boundaries between contrasting musical parts. This paper gives an overview of state-of-theart metho...

“It’s not what you play, but how you play it”. The term “robotic performance” has traditionally been used to describe a musical performance that lacks expression and evokes no emotion from listeners. Indeed, current instrumentplaying robots have achieved high technical proficiency, but “perfect” performances of a piece are not necessarily considered musical. In this paper, we propose a Programm...

The abiotic and biotic gradients on mountains have enormous potential to improve our understanding of species distributions, species richness patterns and conservation. Here we describe how abiotic factors change with elevation, how flora and fauna respond to these changes and how elevational species richness patterns have been studied to uncover drivers of biodiversity. There are four main tre...
