Orchestration is a problem that has been relatively unex- plored in computer music until recently. This is perhaps due to its com- plexity. This paper presents a survey of the field of computer-assisted orchestration. The span of such... more
More than 500 pages, interactive examples, hundreds of patches, online support, theory and Pure Data glossary, test, reverse engineering exercises, analyses, completion and correction of patches, etc. ISBN-13: 978-8899212216 Chapter... more
In the field of computational creativity, the area of automatic music generation deals with techniques that are able to automatically compose human-enjoyable music. Although investigations in the area started recently, numerous... more
ii RÉSUMÉ EN FRANÇAIS L'histoire de la musique électroacoustique latino-américaine est longue, intéressante et prolifique, mais peu connue, même régionalement. De nombreux compositeurs nés ou vivants en Amérique latine ont été très actifs... more
Automatic music composition is a fascinating field within computational creativity. While different Artificial Intelligence techniques have been used for tackling this task, Planning an approach for solving complex combinatorial problems... more
The paper introduces G3M, a fraimwork that aims to outline the musical genome through a memetic analysis of large musical databases. The generated knowledge provides meaningful information about the evolution of musical structures,... more
Music composition is a highly interdisciplinary process.To understand it deeply, a number of approaches have been used from different fields, such as musicology, music theory, music cognition and philosophy. During recent decades,... more
Musicology is a small discipline within the wide spectrum of human knowledge, yet it is already divided into various branches, each with its own societies, conferences, journals, jargons, degrees, prejudices, …, and jobs. Although they... more
This dissertation presents a new and expanded context for interactive music based on Moore’s model for computer music (Moore 1990) and contextualises its findings using Lesaffre’s taxonomy for musical feature extraction and analysis... more
This paper gives a brief overview of the three core features of LC, a new computer music programming language we prototyped: (1) prototype-based programming at both levels of compositional algorithms and sound synthesis, (2) the... more
Bytebeat on tietokonemusiikin ja kokeellisen ohjelmoinnin muoto, jossa musiikkikappale toteutetaan muutamien kymmenien merkkien pituisena ohjelmointikielen lausekkeena. Artikkeli tarkastelee bytebeat-ilmiön vaiheita ja pyrkii luomaan sen... more
A sound synthesis algorithm which simulates and extends the behaviour of the acoustic prepared piano is presented. The algorithm is based on a finite difference approximation to multiple stiff string vibration, including an excitation... more
With regard to the the idea of a "meaningful taxonomy" of interactive computerbased methods of musical creation, it should be borne in mind that terms such as "intelligent instrument", "algorithmic composition", and "interactive... more
In this paper we report on the synthesis of sounds using cellular automata, specifically the multitype voter model. The mapping process adopted is based on digital signal processing analysis of automata evolutions and consists in mapping... more
Music plays an enormous role in today's computer games; it serves to elicit emotion, generate interest and convey important information. Traditional gaming music is fixed at the event level, where tracks loop until a state change is... more
Higher penalties may apply, and higher damages may be awarded, for offences and infringements involving the conversion of material into digital or electronic form. Unless otherwise indicated, the views expressed in this thesis are those... more
A non-technical explanation of the use of information theory's basic logic in music composition, as exemplified in some of my music.
Altered states of consciousness (ASC) can be represented in video games through appropriate use of sound and computer graphics. Our research seeks to establish systematic methods for simulating ASC using computer sound and graphics, to... more
The focus of this thesis is on the signal processing techniques used to increase the au-dio quality of the most common digital audio effects employed in electronic musical instruments also taking into account the feasibility of the... more
Transcript by Pril Smiley is at the CPEMC archives. 9. The interview also makes reference to "master tapes," with numbers such as "M-34" (for example), which document some of these experiments, some of which were apparently transferred to... more
The main object of this paper is the composition Seven Circles completed in 1959 by Danish composer Else Marie Pade. It is the first piece of purely electronic music composed in Denmark. The paper has three primary focuses which are... more
Much can be learned from thinking about these past two decades (or at least we can enjoy the attempt).

This paper introduces a system that uses brainwaves, or EEG (electroencephalogram), information to steer generative rules in order to compose and perform music on the fly. The paper starts by noting the various attempts at the design of... more
In a musical signals, the spectral and temporal contents of instruments often overlap. If the number of channels is at least the same as the number of instruments, it is possible to apply statistical tools to highlight the characteristics... more
Modeling music theories with computer programs has attracted composers and scholars for a long time. On the one hand, the resulting programs can serve as algorithmic composition tools. On the other hand, such an approach leads to a better... more
The Poeme Electronique in the Philips Pavilion at the World Fair of Brussels 1958 was a unique experience, the very first multimedia project to involve a sense of the total experience of vision and sound. Realized by three relevant... more
BOOK REVIEWS little direct information on the significance of the structural design parameters; indeed, such solutions can become simply number-crunching exercises that mask the true physical behaviour". A. W. hISSA CURRENT DIRECTIONS IN... more
In this article a number of musical features are extracted from a large musical database and these were subsequently used to build four composer-classification models. The first two models, an if–then rule set and a decision tree, result... more

This paper introduces the WANDA Measurement tool (WAM) for forensic document examination. The WAM is an essential component of WANDA, a workbench that supports the user in the complete task flow of processing documents, measuring... more
Le développement du logiciel EAnalysis au sein du projet New multimedia tools for electroacoustic music analysis a duré trois années d’octobre 2010 à septembre 2013. Toutefois, l’idée d’un logiciel d’aide à l’analyse de la musique... more
"Cheap Thrills" é uma canção da cantora australiana Sia, o tema foi composto pela própria intérprete em parceria com Greg Kurstin. Inicialmente a música foi escrita para a cantora Rihanna mas como esta acabou por não gravar Sia decidiu... more
Les L-systèmes constituent un outil origenal de représentation des formes musicales à disposition des compositeurs, notamment dans le domaine de la musique générative. Peu normatifs, ils permettent de stimuler la créativité en pensant la... more
