Opportunities for Evolutionary Music Composition
Andrew R. Brown · QUT ePrints (Queensland University of Technology) · 2002
Traditional compositional techniques and many computer-assisted composition systems have been focused on the production of linear musical products. In an age where non-linear media are increasingly prominent there is a need to reassess these technologies in the light of new opportunities for making music with non-linear outcomes. This paper examines the current state of music making for non-linear media with a particular emphasis on evolutionary music and how and where it might be applied. In addition, some of the implications for computer-based tool design will be outlined.
