Algorithmic Composition In Contrasting Musical Styles, Tristan Mcauley

Theses : Honours

The aim of this project is to create software that will give non-musical people the ability to compose convincingly 'real' music in specific musical genres. By 'real' music we mean music which is not obviously "machine generated", recognisable as being of the selected genre, of an aesthetically pleasing quality (a very subjective concept) and usable in a commercial context.

The process involves an original, top down approach and a bottom up approach based on previous studies. A novel, skeletal structure is formed to depict …

There are both tertial and quartal combinations. The relationship between melody and chords is made up …
