Application of Intermediate Multi-Agent Systems to Integrated Algorithmic Composition and Expressive Performance of Music
… new Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) for computer-aided composition called IPCS (pronounced “ipp-siss”) the Intermediate Performance Composition System which generates expressive performance as part of its compositional process, and produces emergent melodic structures by a novel multi-agent process. …

RNN-Based Generation of Polyphonic Music and Jazz Improvisation
<p>This paper presents techniques developed for algorithmic composition of both polyphonic music, and of simulated jazz improvisation, using multiple novel data sources and the character-based recurrent neural network architecture <em>char-rnn</em>. In addition, techniques and tooling are presented …

Sonifying Hamlet
… Hamlet </em>uses data-mining techniques and algorithmic composition to read Shakespeare's <em>Hamlet</em> through sound. In so doing, it attends to pre-semantic, textual data that is only visible when one steps back from reading for narrative and instead focuses on formal details that, being …

Musical swarm robot simulation strategies
… for music is a relatively new way to explore algorithmic composition as well as new modes of human robot interaction. This work outlines a strategy for making music with a robotic swarm constrained by acoustic sound, rhythmic music using sequencers, motion causing changes in the music, and …
