Ecosystem Models for Real-Time Generative Music: A Methodology and Framework
Oliver Bown · University of Michigan Library Repository · 2009
In this paper I discuss a methodology for applying compu-tational ecosystem models to sound installations and gener-ative music systems: sonic ecosystems. I discuss the need for tools that facilitate the introduction of detailed analysis of complex multi-agent systems into a creative computing workflow, in order to create powerful ecosystemic artworks, and list a number of design requirements associated with an ecosystem-based methodology. I present a software frame-work and a specific sonic ecosystem model that demon-strates these ideas. 1.
