Efforts towards Artificial Composer

There are two components of a musical piece which are intertwined:

• horizontal
• vertical

Horizontal component is how individual tones are structured in harmonies as well how harmony progresses from one to another.

Vertical component is the overall structure of the musical piece, i.e. how the piece is composed of parts and how these parts are related.

Efforts towards Computational Musical Analysis

It will find the shortest grammar for the composition.

It assumes fugal-like compositions where each channel plays one and no more than one tone at time.

It allows users to modify the parts and replay the modified composition.

Future work:

• Non-fugal compositions
• Harmony analysis
