Automatic Orchestration for Automatic Composition
Eliot Handelman, Andie Sigler, David Donna · Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Interactive Digital Entertainment · 2012
The automatic orchestration problem is that of assigning instruments or sounds to the notes of an unorchestrated score. This is related to, but distinct from, problems of automatic expressive interpretation. A simple algorithm is described that successfully orchestrates scores based on analysis of one musical structure -- the "Z-chain."
