Descrição
Resumo:This paper surveys some of the methods used for algorithmic composition and their evolution during the last decades. Algorithmic composition was motivated by the natural need to assist and to develop the process of music creation. Techniques and applications of algorithmic composition are broad spectrum, ranging from methods that produce entire works with no human intervention, up to methods were both composer and computer work closely together in real-time. Common algorithms used for music composition are based in stochastic, deterministic, chaotic and artificial intelligence methods.
