Empirical studies in end-user computer-generated music composition systems (2022)
Thesis

Computer music researchers dream of the perfect algorithm, in which the music generated is indistinguishable from, or even superior to, that composed by the world’s most talented composers. However, the fulfilment of this aim remains ambitious. This t... Read More about Empirical studies in end-user computer-generated music composition systems.

An analysis of repetition in video game music (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Video game music, unlike other forms and genres of music , is comparatively young in its development, and undoubtedly heavily influenced by the hardware it was originally played on. This study observes whether the amount of repetition in video game m... Read More about An analysis of repetition in video game music.

Exploring polyrhythms, polymeters, and polytempi with the universal grid sequencer framework (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© 2020 ACM. Polyrhythms, Polymeters, and Polytempo are compositional techniques that describe pulses which are desynchronous between two or more sequences of music. Digital systems permit the sequencing of notes to a near-infinite degree of resolutio... Read More about Exploring polyrhythms, polymeters, and polytempi with the universal grid sequencer framework.

Composing computer generated music, an observational study using IGME: the Interactive Generative Music Environment (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Computer composed music remains a novel and challenging problem to solve. Despite an abundance of techniques and systems little research has explored how these might be useful for end-users looking to compose with generative and algorithmic music tec...

Automating algorithmic representations of musical structure using IGME: The Interactive Generative Music Environment (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In this paper we explore the recreation of existing musical compositions by representing the music as a series of unique musical bars, and other bars that can be replicated through various algorithmic transformations, inside the Interactive Generativ...

A cognitive dimensions approach for the design of an interactive generative score editor (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper describes how the Cognitive Dimensions of Notation can guide the design of algorithmic composition tools. Prior research has also used the cognitive dimensions for analysing interaction design for algorithmic composition software. This wor...

Thoughts on interactive generative music composition (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The ability for machines to compose novel, interesting and human-esque music is an important and recurring theme in the history of computer music. Modern staff notation remains the most common tool for music composition, and despite the emergence and... Read More about Thoughts on interactive generative music composition.

How can music visualisation techniques reveal different perspectives on musical structure? (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Standard western notation supports the understanding and performance of music, but has limited provisions for revealing overall musical characteristics and structure. This paper presents several visualisers for highlighting and providing insights int... Read More about How can music visualisation techniques reveal different perspectives on musical structure?.

Continuation- Musical Note Prediction Through Analysis.
Report

This paper explores the automatic continuation of melod-ic passages, based on analyses of trends in existing musi-cal corpora, and the challenges of integrating generative processes with manual composition practices and aesthet-ics. While music compo... Read More about Continuation- Musical Note Prediction Through Analysis..
