Vox Populi: An Interactive Evolutionary System for Algorithmic Music Composition
نویسندگان
چکیده
While recent techniques of digital sound synthesis have put numerous new sounds on the musician’s desktop, several artificial-intelligence (AI) techniques have also been applied to algorithmic composition. This article introduces Vox Populi, a system based on evolutionary computation techniques for composing music in real time. In Vox Populi, a population of chords codified according to MIDI protocol evolves through the application of genetic algorithms to maximize a fitness criterion based on physical factors relevant to music. Graphical controls allow the user to manipulate fitness and sound

AURAL: An Evolutionary Interface for a Robotic Sonification Process
A new approach is presented which integrates an interactive evolutionary interface for sound production, real world devices, such as mobile robots, and an omnidirectional vision system. Starting with an evolutionary composition system named VOX POPULI and later JaVOX, a hybrid environment named AURAL has evolved. It uses curves drawn in an GUI and trajectories produced by mobile robots to modif...
متن کاملThe Wisdom of Crowds (Vox Populi) and Antidepressant Use
Under certain conditions, groups of people may (collectively) make better judgments than experts. Galton connected this phenomenon to the phrase vox populi in a 1907 paper. Arguably, an example of the phenomenon may be found in recent stabilization of the frequency of antidepressant use, following decades of increases. There is no evidence that a change in physi-cian behaviour has caused this s...
متن کاملTechniques for Algorithmic Composition of Music
This paper is an overview of various techniques used by the author over the last 3 years in the production of computer-generated music. It covers work using semi-random noise, chaotic dynamical systems, contour analysis, and evolutionary programming.
متن کاملVOX POPULI: Automatic Generation of Biased Video Sequences
We describe our experimental rhetoric engine Vox Populi that generates biased video-sequences from a repository of video interviews and other related audio-visual web sources. Users are thus able to explore their own opinions on controversial topics covered by the repository. The repository contains interviews with United States residents stating their opinion on the events occurring after the ...
متن کاملInteractive Music Composition with Evolutionary Computation
This article presents an interactive music composition system which utilizes the black-box optimization model of evolutionary computation. The core CFE framework—Composition, Feedback, and Evolution—is presented and described. The music composition system produces short, manageable pieces of music by interacting with users. The essential features of the system include the capability of creating...
