Integrated Algorithmic Composition Fluid systems for including notation in music composition cycle

Andrea Valle

Proceedings of the International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression

Abstract

This paper describes a new algorithmic approach to instrumental musical composition that will allow composers to explore in a flexible way algorithmic solutions for different compositional tasks. Even though the use of computational tools is a well established practice in contemporary instrumental composition, the notation of such compositions is still substantially a labour intensive process for the composer. Integrated Algorithmic Composition (IAC) uses a fluid system architecture where algorithmic generation of notation is an integral part of the composition process.
