Music generation using cellular models

Music is an art form that is created by people who draw inspiration from a variety of sources. However, the basis of music is an organization of sound frequencies, timed in a certain manner. Using the basic principles of music, it is possible to develop a mechanism for the automatic generation of music. The goal of this research project is to explore the mapping of cellular models into musical combinations, using music theory. To accomplish this task we developed a mapping tool for the automated creation of music using cellular models. In particular, the main focus is determining patterns embedded in the Game of Life. A music modulation model is developed in order to model the chord level of the musical composition. A two layered mapping technique shows that the musical composition can become achieved.
