This paper introduces a brain-computer interface (BCI) system that uses electroencephalogram (EEG) information to steer generative rules in order to compose and perform music. It starts by noting the various attempts at the design of BCI systems, including systems for music. Then it presents a short technical introduction to EEG sensing and analysis. Next, it introduces the generative music com...

Although computer systems have found widespread application in music production, there remains a gap between the characteristicly precise and mechanical information processing of the computer and the more subtle and expressive processing performed by humans. In order for computer systems to become more useful to musicians, the human-computer interface must be raised from the mechanical and synt...

A discussion on involvement of knowledge based methods in implementation of user friendly computer programs for disabled people is the goal of this paper. The paper presents a concept of a computer program that is aimed to aid blind people dealing with music and music notation. The concept is solely based on computational intelligence methods involved in implementation of the computer program. ...

The project Interactive Swarm Orchestra (ISO) employs swarm algorithms to create computer music. The project tries to highlight some of the potentials that Artificial Life provides for computer music. The project is motivated by the assumption that Artificial Life and computer music are related disciplines that benefit from a practical and conceptual exchange. In particular, the authors believe...
