One challenge relating to the creation of adaptive music involves generating transitions between musical ideas. This paper proposes a solution to this problem based on a modification of the Q-Learning framework described by Reese, Yampolskiy and Elmaghraby. The proposed solution represents chords as states in a domain and generates a transition between any two major or minor chords by finding a...

This study examined connections between pitch-class set-theoretical abstract concepts, set-classes, and perceptual estimations of chords derived from the set-classes. The study had two aims, the first of which was to compare theoretical resemblance with perceived closeness. Another aim was to illuminate and analyze both factors relevant for perceptual estimations of chords and factors relevant ...

Two experiments provide convergent evidence for the hypothesis that listeners interpret chords in terms of their harmonic functions in a system of interrelated keys. The perceived associations between chords undergo significant changes depending on the broader tonal framework in which they are embedded. Three independent context effects are identified, and their magnitude is found to be a syste...

How do listeners learn about the statistical regularities underlying musical harmony? In traditional Western music, certain chords predict the occurrence of other chords: Given a particular chord, not all chords are equally likely to follow. In Experiments 1 and 2, we investigated whether adults make use of statistical information when learning new musical structures. Listeners were exposed to ...

Chords are a concurrency mechanism of object-oriented languages inspired by the join of the Join-Calculus. We present SCHOOL, the Small Chorded Object-Oriented Language, a featherweight model which aims to capture the essence of the concurrent behaviours of chords. Our model serves as a generalisation of chorded behaviours found in existing experimental languages such as Polyphonic C. Furthermo...
